I'm just curious, when you guys build colonies what do you build in them? I figure it's kind of pointless to upgrade all the buildings or to build it like im building my capitol.

[stumpster]

I skipped the Hideout completely (for now), Embassy, and Workshop.

Only upgrade my Town Wall, Trading Post, Dry Dock, and Barracks to be on-par with my capital.

[Phil]

Everything except for Embassy and Workshop. Also, the warehouse in my colonies is only lvl 3 compared to lvl 9 in main town.

The rest I try to upgrade as much as possible, just like in my main town.

My Town Wall is at level 3 in all towns. Shipyard lvl 3 in all towns for Ballista ships. Trading port lvl2 in capital, lvl1 in colonies. Trading post lvl5 (hoping 7 soon) in capital, lvl3 in colonies. Museum atm lvl2 in all towns. Barracks lvl5 in colonies for Ram, so I can send out pillages from there too. Lvl7 in main town for archers.

cool, thanks guys.

because im trying to settle a colony on every island near me so i can be totally self suffient before I send out a colony to the EiR area.

[Stuart750]

I need to do that as well, there's no room on the EIR island, you need to kill someone...

In the face.

However, I just colonized on the island next door...

[RikiRude]

stuart what are the coordinance? ill colonize near you.

[Phil]

cool, thanks guys.

Just so you know, for each colony you need one level of your Palace. The level 3 costs already 20000 wood, 6000 marble 4500 crystal (or something along those lines).

Oh...

Level 2 won't be too hard, but eesh level 3... i guess when I get to level 2 instead of colonizing near me ill make my move out to your guys.

[Unkn0wn]

And at level 20 you'll require a few billions wood .
No joke!

I got lvl 3 atm, I think level 4 will have to wait .

[Phil]

btw, another method of building colonies is building only a warehouse, town hall and tavern. Without a trading port, you can only get pillaged for 60 resources as a time.
It only works if you only want to use your colonies to get those resources and ship them off to your main town.

I just prefer to build up a town and send out pillaging parties from everywhere

And you need a govener's palace in each of those colonies = to the number of colonies and they cost the same as a palace.  1st step of corrution is 9% then its 16% then i susp[ect probly 20-24% for the 3rd, so unless u up the Govener's building expext 20% corrution on colines if u have 3 of them

[Phil]

Yeah 23% if you have a level 3 palace and no Governors residence.

[puddin]

ea the first govners mansion isn;t bad like 600 wood, but level 2 is something like 5k wood and 800 marble and level 3 is as much as 20k wood, 5k marble and 4 k crystal...
