im gonna stay at lamda. being in the top 50 took long enough and takes a ton of time to do my pillages… there really isn’t time to do both games, and keep them going at my level.

I took care of that one guy for you on Lambda. I destroyed his navy and told him not to mess with you anymore. Is he still attacking???

What are you confused about?

You have to build buildings in town view and assign workers in island view. Does that help???

In a nutshell, there are 4 different types of islands (marble, crystal, wine, sulfur). Additionally every island has a universal resource, which is wood.

Marble is pretty much used for building along with wood.

Crystal is used for research along with wood.

Wine is used to keep your people happy and productive.

Sulfur is used for military along with wood.

You start on one of these islands and then you must either buy, trade, or steal the other resources you don’t have.

Someone is still pillaging you or you don’t know who to pillage???

I can take a peek over by your main islands and tell you who to go after if you want.

Are you using the firefox plugin?

Find people with low military score and attack them easy as that.

Then there is the use of spys to check out their port level, and viewing how many supplies they have etc. so you can figure if it’s even worth your time to pillage them
