COH: Europe In Ruins

Let's discuss our current alliance joint-projects. :)

Right now, fldash has set up a colony at Jeyhios, I have already joint him and there's plenty of spots for other EiR members to do the same. The island is a marble island with a beneficial wonder. There's hardly any hostiles, just some noobs who pose absolutely no threat for now.

The coordinates are 19:59. I hope many others join us on this island and then we can expand onto the wine/sulfur/crystal islands nearby which are all empty and have a beneficial wonder as well. In the long run, we could all make these colonies or capitals and keep our current capitals as a distant colony. This way, we'll all live together in this group of islands and basically be capable of dominating this entire area and beyond!

Note for everyone that joins:
To keep our marble production as high as possible, it's very important that we donate wood to expand our lumberjack & Marble quarry. (especially the marble quarry) Every extra level on the marble quarry will allow us to employ more workers so it's definately worth it!

Trying to get there, but will take time :O So far away ...

I'm still getting exploration, when thats finished I'l be settling in a crystal island and a sulfur island next.
I'l be depending on you guys for the moment tho...

fl-, donate some wood to the marble quarry you nub :).
I need more marble income!!

I have no wood.  Remember I'm 12 hours away from my colony. 

Let's upgrade the lumberjack first then so we can get tons of wood.

I'll colonize the wine island once I get my palace up. I could've sworn I had already built it. It'll be ready in 4 hours. Anyway, my current island brings in something like 40 marble an hour, so I can send that over every once in awhile for some marble as well.

Who needs marble? I'l have exploration by tommorow

WOW! 16 hour boat ride :(.

can i just move my capital to here then abandon my other place?

You could, but it wouldn't be the wisest decision. When i can colonize ill make my new capital at the eir island, but i'd keep my old one for some extra resources and 2x the research from the academy.

yea but it would take 16 hours to get those resources to my EIR capital ;)

16 hours is a walk in the park

I'll be moving my capital, but not until the area is up and running.

where the fuck do you live?

Need 4 woods and 4k gold then i join the iland

Who's colonising right next to fl-?
Any of our guys?

Because I just noticed someone put up a colony there...


Btw, 16 hours is not bad, you only need a shipment of your luxury good every few days, just ship large quantities :).
And if you have a large trade fleet it's no big deal really. My colony is expanding pretty fast, at this rate, it'll be on par with my capital pretty fast.

i am next to dash :).

Okay it looks like its only FL and Unkn0wn at the colony site at the moment.  Who else is moving in?  If I go it'll be to the crystal island because my capital is marble.  Its so freaking far away though.  19h 45m each way.  :o

After this I'll colonise the wine island right next to the marble one. :).
I wouldn't get crystal as your first colony research imo, you only need crystal for the academy and spies so you can easily purchase it.

Go wine (good if you want to make that colony your capital fast :)) or sulfur!


Cozmo is setting up there now , I think boobaka, duvka and some others intend on joining the marble island eventually too :). We'll just push the noobs off to make some room. ;)

^Do that please, i send my fleet in 7h.

Still 5 more spots not taken so I don't think we need to panic about not having enough space just yet :).

I'll be colonizing the crystal island

I'm going use my city to support you guys to get your feet up and running then later i'll come over there...

5 more spots on the marble island, lots of free spaces around us on other island types.

Unkn0wn, I just pillaged 200 lumber from Springfield but had to use to upgrade my warehouse of some of this stuff I'm getting is going to get lost.  I have a shipment of 600 coming from my capital tho.  

Post the coordinates so others know which crystal islands, there's multiple in a radius around the marble island :).
The crystal island with the defense bonus is a good island to put your capital btw :).

I got a shipment of wood on way to my colony too so I should be able to spend some of that on donations as well.
Will look into donating marble & wood for your embassy tomorrow.

I too am going to colonize the crystal island, spread it out a bit, all of us on one wont do much good if we all have that resource type :)

Setting the city of Crossroads on the wine island at 18:58 (just above the marble island).

I'm going to set up Abbeville on that wine island next :P.

Hehehe I was thinking of doing Abbeville, but thought i'd leave it for you  ;)

It's going to take me 18h 20m to reach the island, so my colony will start sometime tomorrow.  Weee.

In other news, some random idiot is sending an blockade fleet from over 2 hours away to attack my capital.  I am confused as to why he would do that.  But my 3 ballista ships will enjoy the challenge.

2 hours is not that far i'm sending a blockade fleet to help killroy 5 1/2 hours away from me

I am coming to the island, or maybe right next door if it is filled.  I will be building my palace today, and then get a boat going over tonight hopefully.

all hail the king!

Well I was planning on moving to the empty marble island in that area since there arn't that many free spots open but I'll move there for you dash, I can donate a good bit of wood for the mine and sawmill when I get there.

Nick, might as well colonize on the island we are on if there are free spots.  I'm about to run these newbs off.  Already pillaging them quite nicely to help build up my colony...

Minde if i send a blockage fleet on one of them?

Tell me witch one ;)

did my supplies get to you fl-?

Thtb, they are all newbs, not even capable of trading yet.  ;)

Mine should be unloading as we post =)

I guess i hold back until i am in your ally ;)

CatInHat, I show 600 wood being delivered in 2 hours.

Phil, wtf are you smoking.  I still show 9 hours or so until your shipment arrives.

haha yeah it confused me with the elite interface ;) You're so far... My ship will be back home in 25 hours lol!

Ok I'm going to setup on the river by the mountain, nobody steal my spot! =P

I'm going to be colonizing for sulpher.

Leave me a spot, too!

Another nub left, 4 spots left.

as soon as my gold gets here im setting up shop

Probably gonna settle at Rhylaos for sulfur, and I will house the majority of my army there. Once my army is built up I will announce that I can help people who get attacked.

I'll be colonizing crystal island and then a sulfur island.
Should i get a wine aswell?

I'll be colonizing the Wine island, I claim the spot inland next to the wood and the statue.

Oh this image fits well into this game.

k crystal shipments stopped...countdown to bonte uberness is 3 days..then i shall have enough crystal to reserach so much shit..

Just settled in 19:59

LMAO, check 19;59.
6 colonies under construction.

I think those noobs are going to be like 'WTF I DONT WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME ANYMORE!1!1'

Should we have people say what kind of army they are making? Perhaps have some people focus on naval battles, and others focus on infantry, and some others with siege weapons? It would economically make better use of the resources...I think.

looks like fl-'s island is full now,  im probably setting up shop at Niroios[13:84] if any1 is interested.

Colonizing 19:60 now. I'll arrive in five and a half hours. I have the whole island to myself. And it's wine. I'm going to have one drunk town. =D

Ima make a Navy. Rawrz. Spammage of the boats!

Everyone looking for wine should colonize Danooos[18:58].  There are 5 spots free.  It is the wine wonder island just north of FL's marble island.

not only that, but 3 of the players got their (i)s today :)  More spots will be opening up soon.  I've been working on "making" the other players donate to the mill and vineyard so it is coming along on the upgrades.  And it is pretty close to the alliance main headquarters.

Wow. So, I colonize the island when NO ONE is on it, right? Now, when I am about to get there to colonize, bam, it's almost entirely full. Oh well, now I have towns to pillage.

how can i transport goods to my colony  ?i can transport to unkonwn but cant sellect my onw city

Gona raid these low levels off our island Fldash? =P

Thanks for stealing my spot ...

Nick, I've been giving them hell with Swordsmen for a day or so...

Looking into colonising Danooos ASAP so I can get wine :).
Who are you on that island kolath?

Mine is the incoming colony on the right side by the lumber mill.  My boats should arrive in about 40 min.  (OMG 19 hours takes so long!)

Town of Crossroads founded!

http://s2.ikariam.com/index.php?view=island&id=2270

Wine on Danooos[18:58]

For some reason I can't get my people in my colony to work at the saw mill or vineyard. Why?

I should name my next town 'road from Carentan'  :P

I don't have enough Wood to build a colony, Oh god someone help me.
 :-X :-X :-X

Where is your capital?

Made my colony my capital, booya!
Now I just need 5k wood to upgrade my capital... lol.

72:28 Island is called Iaeyos,
Town name is Carentan.
I need about 800 Wood

Sent 300 wood.  Will take 4 hours.

Planting myself at the sulfur i land since you egoists had to hijack my spot...
Ghaeytia[19:58]

Hey, should have a palace by tomorrow morning. I will be sending a ship to colonize at some point.

Need to finish bullying my neighbors first

The marble island is full atm, we should be capable of pushing some people off eventually though =).
The surrounding islands are still pretty much empty though.

The suvlfor iland i made my colonoy on was empty when i made it, but got completly filled with newbs in a mather of hours.

Yea, I'm attacking the highest level guy there Thtb, hoping he's researched Wealth.  Need Sulfur.

Colony being sent to Auckuos the crystal island to the N of you guys on the marble island.

I set up a colony at the common marble island, add it to the list please.

Bah, all I got was 900 wood...

I should start attacking all those nubs I guess, I need a lot of wood to upgrade my palace :o.

I hope to upgrade my palace sometime today

fl- 200 sulfur on its way with 500 wood.

Colonizing the 12:87 area

Why so far off? :P

Could take me a little longer than I thought. I just had some SOB renig on a deal we made 200 sulfur for 200 marble. He sent 50 and I wasn't here to recall my ships and is now denying ever making a deal.

I must destroy him.

Pillage + Blockade me thinks.

Where you at sir?

The alliance can threaten him...I like threats....

I went easy on him, I ended up giving him till tomorrow 9AM EST to provide his end or he will suffer the rath of my highly exaggerated army ;)

I will however be booking him for a good pillaging session followed by blockade.

Damn, that guy is gonna be piiiisssed

Saltlick, you should try and go for him at least once too:
http://s2.ikariam.com/index.php?view=island&id=896&selectCity=40848#

Well, my second colony is hopefully in the making. 22:57 in 9 hours.

second colony or first colony? how did u get your second colony before me ...argggggggg..fl i sent a invite request..accept...accepting my invite will move our alliance up at least 10 places on the leaderboard

I just bought 50 marble for 5 gold each =p

Mostly, I'll have it before you because it's my priority =) You have almost twice my score so obviously you've built up other stuff first :)

I have twice your score? How so?

Well the EIR island was full so now I decided to go to another island right next to your guys, which also has marble. The Island names is Biaxos. When I went their it had 0 cities on it and now they have 8 more but they are all level ones.

My colony is now my capital:

EiR Spanktown - 19:60 - Wine

How come when I pillage those nubs on our island (19:59) I barely get any resources? :/.
Hardly any gold, just some wood and little to no luxury resource.

I guess I need to aim for some higher level opponents? :P

I meant Bonte ;)

Edit: Moved to a nearby isle, put up my third colony.

Can someone explain to me an easy way to swap between  your colony and capital, or other colonies when you have them.  I am possibly blind but I dont see a swap button and its a pain in the ass to have to go back to the world view and put in the coords.

My Colony is on the Crystal island to the N of the Marble Island

Draconis 18:59

The combobox at the top next to the Fleet button? You can select your town there.

....Im a retard.  Thx Phil

lol, 5 sec's ago 19:59 was full, it has 3 free spaces for anyone thats planning on colonizing next to all of us. Just made a colony on the wine island 18:58.

I'll take one of those spots.

I'm 1000 gold and 150 wood away so please don't ninja one :P  I'll be colonizing within the hour.

2 More spots coming up pretty soon as there's still 2 inactives on that island. That makes 5 in total so I'm sure that's plentiful.
Good thing I just pillaged all those inactive nubs ;).

I'll be settling on the wine island right next door to 19:59, the one kolath is on, within the hour... my second colony! :)
(And holy shit, a third colony is going to be extremely expensive  :o)

We are now #50 on the alliance board  :o

I really need to supplies to keep my home city running I have moved to another place

Ackyos[14:65] they have stone that I really need at this time.

Just curious, who else is setting up that colony on Danooos? (18:58)

Thats me, is that you setting one up next to me ?

Yup & kolath is crossroads.
I'm sure some other EiR members will join us in colonising the wine island in the near future :).
(Still enough spots & already some inactives)

Phil,  New colony going up!

DasNOOB (colony) 19:59

18:59, City of Caen is my colony

Got a new colony, dionysius at 18:58. Add it phil!

What game was this?

Ikariam? I remember us doing that a long time ago
