no military, no hideouts, or no walls (all it takes is 1 to fail)

problem #1: if you people don't have military, or you are getting attacked for not having military...

step 1: turn off your workers. your island neighbors won't stop looting you if you leave these on. they can see them on. if you must keep the workers turned on, follow step 2.

step 2: if you have low hideouts (fix this asap after you build military) then move all of your resources and troops to a single city. your city with the highest hideout, highest wall level, and all of your troops. keep upgrading that wall and that hideout only. that is your primary objective.

step 3: get sulfur and build your military. preferably in a single city, but if you have a lot of sulfur and want to build military fast, spread it among all your cities and let them all build (assuming your barracks are high enough). be sure to turn up your taverns to the max until the population goes back up. if you need sulfur, speak up. you have to get that military built asap.


problem #2: that also goes for if "you do have military, but you have low hideouts".

you will not have that military for long. someone will come and crush it. so do what needs to be done now (step #2). move your goods and troops to a single city, start fixing your hideouts and walls one city at a time.


problem #3: 2 out of 3 and you still lose. time is ticking. pirates grow stronger. they soon will not care if you have our minimum ms, and they will not care if you have good hideouts. they will take a shot in the dark at you with their entire army. the only thing that can save you is a good wall level.

the server is maturing at a very fast pace. last week a level 12 hideout was great, now it is almost worthless. last week a level 6 wall was great, now it will not save you from someone with 1000 ms. theta is a fresh server where everyone starts out the same. we don't have any alliances that have been here longer than us to offer us protection. it is our job, our responsibility, to be strong individuals.


***************
i can check everyone's hideout levels with a click of a button. sadly, many of you are neglecting them. and i can tell you that it is going to continue to be THE source of conflict with other alliances, short of having no military score. please make a priority to fix it. this isn't an option, either in theta or in hetre.

be strong. be smart. be active. that is Hetre.
