My army is almost to 100k points šŸ™‚ I am gonna have to start learning what each unit is worth, so I can start attacking people with scores, to hopefully get better goods šŸ™‚ Anyone use spies yet, to see what port level someone is at? Can you even do that? ---

Thanks Fuzzy! Need anything??? Spies are tough to use. Before you send them in somewhere, you can check to see the potential of them being caught on a specific mission. The bigger the city you dispatch them to, the better luck youā€™ll have. And once a spy completes a mission, leave him in for a little bit. If you try to pull him out right away, heā€™ll get caught. Also, you guys gotta research ā€œhelping handsā€. Its awesome!! ---

Helping Hands? I can get it right now if I switch my research, but Iā€™m working on getting that 8% research points boost from the Mechanical Pen. I still have a day left in it, but Iā€™m looking forward to 8% increase in my research! Only issue i saw is you need 8 workers to get ONE additional good. Example production: Without HH: 185 workers, +85 marble / hour With HH: 277 workers, +104 marble / hour Only if I have my towns at level 15+ for all four and TONS of additional people, will this be worth it. Iā€™ll wait til I get my research bonuses, and then itā€™ll go faster ---

I have now grown quite fond of Glass research. šŸ™‚ It will take 22 more hours to get the Mechanical Pen research completed normally, but since I havent used my glass I am very close to purchasing itā€™s completion early! I am pillaging glass towns constantly, and I get +67/hr from my workers at a level 7 crystal mine. Itā€™ll take less than 8 hours to get the research done, costing me about 5,000 glassā€¦ but, thatā€™s 14 hours saved! šŸ™‚ Current Research Mechanical Pen 71% 22h 46m 45s Accelerate research with crystal glass You can complete the current research by adding crystals. The amount required is dependent on the research complexity and the amount of research points already invested. The closer the scientists are to their breakthrough, the less crystals are needed to be invested. ``` * Amount of crystal needed for completion: 5244 ``` You still need 830 crystal glass in order to finish the research! ---

Heh I am loving this nowā€¦ some guy on the same island as me has attacked me 3 times in 2 daysā€¦ All were averted by my fleetā€¦but it is annoyingā€¦so when his last attack was coming I warned him to pull it back or payā€¦ He didnā€™t soooo blockade for 8 hrsā€¦followed by 6 attacks, 2 from each of my island. My first attacked wiped out a mix of ~60 soldiers and his puny fleet There were only like 2 hours of blockade left so I went ahead and sent 6 flame ships for another 8 hoursā€¦ The best part is the message I got Your fleet blocking the port entrance of LoTR King Town, has captured an arriving trade fleet from Baraon and sent it to your town Speedo2. The foreign trade fleet had the following goods on board: Sulfur 100 So I get the goods he bought, and he has no sulfur to make a counter forceā€¦I hope he quits Oh and if anyone from the alliance want coords lemme know and get in on the action, pretty decent pillaging going on round after round of attacks ---

Taken from the rules section of the Ikarium board: IV. Bashing It is not allowed to attack any given city owned by a player over 6 times in a single 24 hours period. Bashing is only allowed when your Alliance is at war with another Alliance The War must be announced on the official [Ikariam.org](http://Ikariam.org) board, in the correct forum and must comply with the boards specific rules. Note: Attacking troops that are completely destroyed do not count towards the bashing rule. So according to this, if he attacks you a seventh time, you post on the board and he gets a spanking. ---
