discussion - HARD

okay so everyone has read the alliance mails. so here's what we can do....

assuming we want to pound them, we send all our military to the area, to a safe hetre town that isn't blockaded. carsear's are close and fortified. i'd like to see some of our navy make it to the area so we can defend boldrin and phelix's towns and do as we please with the islands. then once we get enough military in the area and online, we can talk about making a move.

i expect to meet heavy resistance if it goes this way. personally everyone should send army, navy, and spies if you can spare it. make sure you leave enough military and spies at your own home to defend your stronghold. if you really want to get heavily involved, think about stopping worker production (except wine) so you don't have to keep army at home to defend.

either we continue to defend boldrin and phelix's towns, if hard chooses to harass them... or if things get quiet we can jump to a hard island (together before they get a chance at blockading our occupation), assuming we have done our homework and have spies in their towns ahead of time, we hit them hard and fast and move on to the next island.

as always, we expect everyone to have good hideouts, but bartley's are not good, and he happens to be the one who shares islands with hard. so this is bad news i hope gets fixed and doesn't recur in the future with other hetre members and encounters. we are sitting ducks if we use bartley's towns as a staging point.

Hammers, if you can't make it to the ongoing battle, start deploying to carsear's towns. Make it as good a mix as possible between offensive, defensive and supporting troops. If you can help upgrade walls in the area, please do so.

Hetr2, find your own members in the area, and do the same.

Don't neglect personal defense. Make sure your resources are low. If you have to, go into gold-farm mode and leave some cities undefended if there is nothing to get.

Let's have some fun

im sending more troops at Bartleys just in case this escalates. plus i have hit some HARD members in bartley's town. just to cover some of my expense.

Stormreach is my capital, but not my stronghold, it has lvl 25 hideout and lvl 12 wall now.. I will be upgrading to lvl 13 wall as soon as possible. Troops are being built as fast as I can, but at 9-10 minutes build time per unit it takes some time. You're saying taverns help build troops faster?? I thought it was barracks that did that.. I have lvl 16 barracks , but only 12 tavern.

taverns don't directly help to build troops faster, to my knowledge, anyway. Barracks do.

Ok, that's what I thought, got confused from the other post saying to have a lvl 16 tavern to regen troops faster, lol. He must have just made a typo.

tavern just helps regain population which you need to make troops... so indirectly it matters...

I have 200 phalanx 325 guns 10 Cats and 2 cooks ready for deployment if we need it. I am about 7 hours away so i just want to make sure we will still be fighting when i arrive. Lol

Currently there are no diplomatic conversations going. I'd like to talk after we do the damage. You can fight, Zar.

Troops are en route to the region no peace talks for at least 24 hours

I am currently working on a list of all HARD members and their coords with MS. I will post it when I get it finished, hopefully tonight.

Okay these are all of them to the best of my knowledge. Feel free to add to this if I managed to miss any.

That kicks ass fire medic!

For those wanting to stage in my towns please feel free. Here are the Coordinates for the towns closest to Hard:

49:65 Ravenna, level 21 Hideout, level 15 Walls
47:64 Veii, level 20 Hideout, level 15 Walls
46:64 Pompeii, level 20 Hideout, level 15 Walls

Veii is the town that has the shortest travel time to Stormreach.

Ravenna is my stronghold and where most of my troops are.

The pounding (dare I say "Hammering"?) we gave Hard last night shredded my army. I was left with 50 phallanx, 40 guns and 2 cooks (plus the 100 phallanx garrison in the stronghold and the smaller squads in the other towns). I've got my defenses built back up but it will be another 24 hours before I have an effective attacking force. I'm available for spying quickly in the area until then.

Rofl they are now chasing my 10 occupation phalanx i used to clean out a town around an island... only problem 1 player sent a ship to defend the town and another send 8 to blockade it ROFL i hope i get a CR of HARD attacking there own...
