If that's your idea of an alliance - I'm out.

High score is not everything I agree..... but that little alliance tag below your name scares people
which is quite useful in the beginning And it is in no way nonsense to want our alliance to stick close together as a matter of fact it is ideal Also let me rephrase I did not mean "Require" more so I recommend taking the time and the score decline to relocate in turns making it better in the long run for the whole alliance If you feel you need to leave... so be it I dont hold grudges or anything... as long as you still donate to the mills |

Thanks for the 'starter kit', smalltalk.
For now I'd like to remain independent, at least until I really grasp the game mechanics. But you do got yourself a friend.

I mean, I'll give you a bump whether you hop over or not. But I think in your special case it might make sense to abandon your colony. Because you came out on a sulphur island, which is the worst, I think. Cheapest resource in the game. You will have to buy anything you need for expanding. Unless you go all military and farm your neighbors to get your supplies. In short: found a colony as soon as possible. Whether it's local or over at our coords.

Ok, thanks for the advice. By the way, the resources you sent me - I think they're gone, since I don't have the 'wealth' technology.

BTW, here's the tech tree. It's ridiculously large, but still better than the online help, I think. http://212.227.42.12/extern/pics/ikariam_techtree.gif

You're right. Now that I have 'wealth' I got your other resources too.

I recommend that you stay in economy, until wine press, and then switch to science.
and then, once you get to paper in science, I recommend going into sea faring until expansion. Oh, and be careful because I think, I remember reading a rule, something like, if you send a shipment to someone and they don't send a shipment back, you can get banned or temp ban, not positive though. |
