Tilted Mill seems to have decided to make a browser based game, Nile Online. As I am a giant Tilted Mill fangirl, and a huge fan of CotN in particular, I signed up for their beta. It's pretty fun (I think).

http://www.playnileonline.com/

Fordel keeps calling his little worker bees slaves. :(

Looks awesome but do I have to worry about midnight raids against my empire?

Ah shit. Another one. Please don't make it something I have to pay attention to all the time. WRITE MOAR, SFOJN.

The current expected wait time is BRILLIANT.

Not sure! The military stuff isn't in yet (you can build them but not actually do anything with them), but I think it's only used to capture monuments and such, not actual cities.



You don't HAVE to pay attention to it all the time, I don't think ... buildings and such take real time to build (and ramps up pretty fast, my last market upgrade took like four hours). I basically leave my city's page up in the background and glance at it once in a while. And I'm pretty sure that's more than some people do. :P The main attention-needer is the marketplace, at least in the early stages, because everyone around you is about as new as you are, so sometimes you only have one person selling a good you need or whatever, and you need to SIEZE THE MOMENT. I imagine once the cities around me get more developed, the urge to babysit the marketplace in the off chance someone finally puts up some goddamn perfume will wane.

Ingmar and Fordel are both playing too, perhaps they will pipe up!

I am really, really liking how they setup this game.

Yea, the GUI is gorgeous. Decided to play it without anyone giving an opinion.

My name is Ahew.

It means pain

Mine is Zahra! It means flower!  :drillf:

My name is Ing. It means totally creative.

REPORTING YOU FOR NON-EGYPTIAN NAME.

Another Egyptian game?  God damnit.  I'll be right there.

My name is Odjit.  Hi!

My name is Seraphia, that's sorta Egyptianish! I rule over the grand city of Mag Mell in the Nome of Bastqed.

My slaves are much better cared for these days, they spent the first 24 hours of their existence trying to eat bricks and mud.  

I rule over Bat Country and replaced all the Jews with the brown, black, and irish. Also, some catholics.

am i doin it rite?

What's your special resource? I got cedar which seems to be some kind of early game jackpot value wise.

I got fucking henna. Eats my ass.

I think. How can I tell. Heh.

It should show up on the map. I have wonderfully useless Bronze  :heart:

You'll have a place you can collect it from on your little town.

Solnhotep

will play after work

Ah, then yes, Henna. At least it seems to be somewhat useful or will be in a few days.

Henna is useful 'cause you can make it into perfume (henna + oil), and to go from three to four for your palace you needs perfume. Henna also goes into cosmetics, which are needed for founding a second city, but I kinda think that won't come up in your area for a while.

I started on kohl, which sucks. ><

My nome is Rasesh and my city is Qena.

All the upgrade levels go from a hand full of minutes to multiple hours, really quick. I totally see myself losing interest in this in about a week, maybe two.

See, I *told* you it was just like Eve.

I'm Lorekeep on Rapeseh. I am enjoying this so far. This is the next generation of browser games, it seems.

It's rather brilliant on Tilted Mill's part. The graphics and GUI stuff they do is crap for a real game, but for a browser game it's pretty much perfect. Sure, the GUI could use some rearranging but I didn't have to do a tutorial to figure out early build order.

Please, I played EVE for like, 6 months at least.

Oh freakin snap, it looks like Pharaoh/Cleopatra Online, I am so there. I'll be Slyhotep once I get in, probably tonight.

Ahew, I see yew.  :oh_i_see:

Pharaoh Tutngore, City of Seplatur. Just west of Bat Country.





 :grin:

EDIT: BTW, the search sucks, i was looking for some of you to see what we may be able to trade.   :oh_i_see:

Travian without the catapults?  I'm so there.

Ooo, you got Cedar.

You're one block north of us.

I believe Tilted Mill has quite a few people who did Pharoah and Cleopatra.

Tilted Mill is Impressions of old.

Lashki in the villa of Djedu.  Or is it Setneshny?  There seem to be several Djedu's around me.  I think my resource is leather?

I see a palmer_eldritch nearby.

Djedu is just the default name for a city, you can rename it via your central palace/fort/castle thing.

Ah.  Found it.  I'm now Lashki of Nathri.

Signe and Soln are on the screen north of me.

Looks like I'm right there with you guys, down a couple and on the river.

Most of you guys are on the complete opposite end of the world from me :(

60-70 hour trade times  :ye_gods:

I AM UPGRADING MY PALACE

Waffletown.  Gonna build me an IHOPtep.

IHOPtep sounds like a fantastic place.

HOLY SHIT MY PALACE IS LEVEL 2

All grown up!


Mine just hit level THREE. I think I'll be stuck here for awhile, maybe forever, since none of my neighbors are selling the crap needed to escape.

I am also trapped in level three limbo, because none of the losers near me are making perfume or jewelry. Losers, I say!

yeah, palace level 3 is a bitch.  Do what I did, buy/trade for the raw materials and make the stuff on your own, demolishing one shop for another as necessary, keeping em at level 1.

Bricks are 1.4 bread cost, so you only lose 14 bread doing this, as opposed to paying comissions/exhorbitant prices for finished goods.

BTW,  Demonix of Gateway.

I can't make enough wheat!  Everyone one will die!  PANIC! 

It appears Signe read my manual on empire building.  :ye_gods:

People only eat when they're working.  Not enough bread just means you need to de-assign some laborers until you can increase your bread production.

Or you let them starve, they don't actually die, just work less!  :grin:

Starving sounds right. 

It lets them know whose in charge!

How do you get more specialization points?

I assume at some point you build things that level you up.

Points are attached to palace level, the next point is level 4 if my reading of the forums is correct.

I'm making my own damn perfume, it is likely I will attempt to make my own damn jewelry next unless the people around me get their asses in gear. Part of the problem is my resource isn't really needed by anyone around me yet, so I don't have much leverage for trades. Woe!

There's gold just north of me, and I cut a deal for a bunch of emeralds, so in theory I should be able to make my own jewelry soon, at least enough to get to 4. No idea how I am going to get perfume locally though.

Nobody seems to be working the market near me. I'm not sure what to put up my excess Reed, Clay or Wheat for to get more Bread.

Edit: Oops.

This sounds like risky financial instruments to me!

Okay. I bit. I am Menetnashte of Per-Wadjet.

This is awesome, there's some fool next to me who keeps putting cedar up on the market for 1 bread.  I bought him out, put it back up for 3x the price, and it sold within the hour.   

...
:why_so_serious:

You should have put it up for 8x the price, mine sells out within the hour when I list it for 8 per. I am going to keep pushing it upwards and see where it finally stops selling.

I'm surprised that there are people seriously working on the rare resources at this point.  I still haven't gotten to the point of being able to do anything with them yet (about to start working on palace level 3).

That would be me, but with no one selling, how am i to know what the market is?

Cedar is in early game demand because you need it for making boats, which you need for making deals with people outside your market range.

Set Jnr of Sepermeru in Rafeka

I'm engaged in the glorious task of upgrading my wheat farm at the moment.

3 :awesome_for_real:

See, that's funny.

I'm sure there's some measurement you can make, being that one worker produces 1 Rare per hour, while it takes 1 workers to make 6 bread (which takes 12 wheat or 1.5 workers).

So 2.5 workers to make 6 bread an hour iis 1 worker = 2.4 bread an hour. So 3 bread probably isn't out of the question for one rare material. Then there's if you have a good item or not...

I think you might want to factor in the bread cost (1/hour) of each working worker though. Those 2.5 workers only net you 3.5 bread per hour once you take out their wages, and that 1 rare per hour takes 1 bread input as a cost.

I think it comes out to be the same, ignoring costs.

Lesse... 2.5 workers = 3.5 Bread / hour, 1 worker = 1.4 Bread / Hour.

... (1 Rare + -1 Bread) / Hour Net Gain = 1 Worker

... (1 Rare + -1 Bread) / Hour Net Gain = 1.4 Bread / Hour...

1 Rare - 1 Bread = 1.4 Bread...

1 Rare = 2.4 Bread.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

IHOPtep has no need for min/maxing


we are an autonomous collective of slaves struggling to dominate in bread and bread-making products

get ready

Bureet Hotep, Osirisnef... I think.  More later.

UPGRADING MY PALACE TO LEVEL 3 MOTHERFUCKERS

That was the exact formula I used to arrive at my price of 3 bread/rare.  Of course, it doesn't factor in demand, but it seemed like a good baseline for a fair price.

When I saw the 1 bread/rare price I was all like  :why_so_serious: because that only covers the cost of the bread the workers ate while they were harvesting, never mind if they'd just been making bread in the first place.  Even with my own cedar harvesting setup, it was literally cheaper to buy at that price than to have my own workers do it.

Also, I just finished my level 3 palace.

I BY MISTAKE UPGRADED SOME OTHER SHIT TO LEVEL 3.

UPGRADING PALACE TO LEVEL 3 IN 11 MINUTES.

Oh, Jesus. Here we go.

I'm just messin'. Why so serious?

I signed up for this, but server 6 on Travian is nearing endgame. Hopefully, I can get some time in on Nile.

That was the line after the one you said. :( it's not funny when you have to explain it.

No! You were supposed to say "That's nice."

/fuckit
/trainwreck!

lol

PALACE IS HALFWAY DONE

This is what I get for drinking Clan MacGregor.

That sounds like a porn movie.

Is that the "scotch" that comes in a green plastic bottle?

Never mind, I Googled it.  Yes.

(http://www.monnik-dranken.nl/downloads/flessen/clan_macgregor.jpg)

nvm. That was sick.

The bastards won't send me a key.

THAT'S OK, I'M WORKING TOWARDS A LEVEL 4 PALACE NOW

O'DOYLE RULES

IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE SELLING JEWELRY NEAR YOU I WILL BE FUCKING JEALOUS AS HELL

SETTING UP A JEWELRY SHOP TOMORROW JUST TO MAKE SJOFN JEALOUS.

I QUIT.

HI I JUST STARTED PLAYING I THINK MY PHARAOHS NAME MEANS FISH.  ITS MSAMAKI

OH YEAH, UPGRADING TO PALACE 3!

I'M MAKIN' ALL SORTS OF BREAD, SON.

I'M THE BREAD WINNER IN THIS FAMILY

I'M THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

SLICING BREAD SUCKS

I will let you live vicariously through Bureet Hotep of Cairojuana.

Late to the party (again).

Seshafi
Osirishedj » Djedu

where ever that is.

Why did my bakery just go from 1min complete to 3min complete?

Your attempts at insulting me fails on multiple levels. If you knew anything about the game, you'd know making a jewelry shop at my location is stupid since I have no access to gold or emeralds at the moment. Also, I'm not sure this is a game you can win. I'm a Jew building an egyptian city and my people only need 1 bread per hour. I still haven't gotten past the irony yet. But don't let that stop you!

UPGRADING MY REED FARM ITT


This has been happening a lot to me. But always in very small amounts.

It's been happening to me in chunks of as much as 20 minutes.  Goddamn annoying.

Oh yeah BUILDING AN EXCHANGE AND SOON THERE'S GONNA BE SHIPS ALL UP IN THIS BITCH

know it.  Ships.  Ships.

IHOPtep is almost level3 gigiddy

I was trying to come up with any figures of speech that dealt with bread...I wasn't insulting you at all.... OR WAS I?

I WILL CRUSH YOU ALL WITH MY SECOND CITY!

FEAR MY LEET TRADING AND MICROMANAGEMENT SKILLS!

MY BREAD HAS NUTS!

schild, I'm actually planning to make a Perfume Shop. I have to upgrade my market to get access to the Oil that's two away from us.

We definitely need to organize shit.

Who has access to what? Let's make a list.

Henna - Lorekeep, Schild
Bronze - Soln, Signe, Draegan
Cedar - Slyfiend, Bloodworth
Tin - Draegan
Leather - Xanthippe

Yes, definitely need to organise stuff.  The palace will be level 3 later today.  Most everything else is either level 2 or 3, also.  I am bronze.  I'm on the same map as Soln.  Righ is very very very far away from me.   :uhrr:

Cedar here; Slyhotep in Djedu.

I have a lot of Bronze and I think tin.  Someone just bought up a ton of new cities around me.

ok I need wood.  Cedar that is.  For ships.  yes.

Yay and now I learn to trade!

I don't understand the trade system.  I could do Eve, I can't do this.


"nome"?


wut?

Ceder, apparently at rock bottom prices! (not anymore  :grin:).

I have leather.

Leather and Bronze.  We could make cool collars and enslave all the men. 

Cedar here.  I refused to come up with an Egyptian name.

Get those exchanges built, people!  I should have my first ship up by tonight and ready to ship a boatload of cedar to whoever will promise to ship back an equal boatload of some other rare.

We definitely need to organize shit.

Who has access to what? Let's make a list.

Henna - Lorekeep, Schild
Bronze - Soln, Signe, Draegan, Slayerik
Cedar - Slyfiend, Bloodworth, Samwise
Tin
Leather - Xanthippe
Kohl - Lac

Kiekooft in Djedu has kohl, which I hope isn't a stock of former German chancellors but the cool Egyptian way to say coal.

I just started gathering Henna. Have one lone slavejew on it. Wanted to get everything built up to level 3 first and stockpile the other shit. I'm trying to minmax it with a longterm view.

I lied I only have bronze.

Edit: And Clay

I have kohl. People are buying it! Hooray!

Who has Oil? I mean shit, this is close enough to the Middle East that at least one person should have it.  :awesome_for_real:

Slayerik - Bronze

I accidentally upgraded my basket weavers instead of my palace. >_<

There are some cities just to the north of me that have oil, but nobody is selling.  Once my fleet is established I'll start sending them messages to see if they're interested in firing up some trade.

HAH I did the same thing the first time also. Really fucking annoying. heh.

Target established, let's bring them some good ol' freedom.

Once it's in :grin:

SHIPBUILDERS WORKING AT FULL STEAM.  LEVEL THREE MARKET BUILDING NOW.  I AM THE ECONOMIC JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!

I don't even know how to make ships :(

HaemishM - Making the clay right now

how does one make statues?  special shop?

Yes, you have to build a sculptor on a shop lot. Takes two bronze and four clay to make one statue.

And to build ships, you need to build an exchange and then get your hands on some cedar. There's a bug where you need 26 cedar for a ship instead of 25. They also take forever to build!

I got cedar - throw up some buy orders if you want some. All of us in Osirisbennu have cedar on the west side of the river.

What good are boats right now? Do you need them to trade across the river or something?

You need them to send goods past your market range. Inside your market range you can just trade via buy orders.

You also need 3 to colonize a new city.

I assume they cut down on time for trading also, but that's just a guess.

Alright, let's organize this shit:

[Bronze]
Soln (Solnhotep)
Signe
Draegan
Slayerik (Slayerik)
Fordel (Seraphia

[Cedar]
Slyfiend (Slyhotep)
Bloodworth
Samwise - Osirisbennu
Ing (Ing)
Viin (Viinahz)
JWIV (Jwivonious)
Rasix (Rasixes)

[Emeralds]
dannyB (dannyB)
Pezzle
acerogue26 (Ankhenaten)
Yegolev - Bureet Hotep, 127N

[Gold]
Wasted (Set Jnr)
Gets (Gets)

[Henna]
Lorekeep - Rapeseh
Schild (Ahew) - Rapeseh

[Leather]
Xanthippe (Seshafi)
Bokonon (Bokonamen)
Lantyssa (Lashki)
FatuousTwat (Odjisefu)

[Kohl]
Lac
Squirrel (Billokap)
Sfojn (Zahra)

[Oil]
Ozzu (Ozzu)
Jimbo (Jumoke)

[Tin]

I just realized how big denile is, so I'm not going to scroll through all that shit. If your name is here but not your in-game name, post it, if your name AND resource are missing, post it. Thanks. I think there's enough of us that we can become a self-sufficient commune of jews.

http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=15299.new#new

You should try to find people only a few Zones away when boat trading. Example, Ing is only 1 Zone above me, so any trades would take 18 minutes. Sjofn's Character is dozens of Zones away from me, trading between us would take 68 HOURS.

I think we can work out that stuff later.

Level 4 is in progress. Thanks, cedar!

Bastard. :(

Eh, you already made Jewelery AND perfume?

Yow.

Also I don't think Tin is an actual resource. Unless I'm totally blind, I can't find it anywhere in the game.

He's been rolling in the bread thanks to his Cedaropoly.

I think you get it from the gods. I'm skipping on everything right now til I get a temple. And just making resources til then.

It would sort of odd if tin was a resource, given that we already have bronze as a resource, and tin goes into that.

How do we get limestone?

The temple seems to grant certain resources. Each side/section of the nile has different gods. Each god probably yield something different, until people get temples, we won't know about tier 2 stuff.

I'm building an Exchange now and hope to provide Henna for some Cedar to get my boats going.

It should be up right about the time the boat for Northrend arrives.  :awesome_for_real:

After I get 2 more pottery, I'm dumping everything into making bricks and bread and nothing else for a couple days. I want to bang out this temple and buy stuff to get to level 4.

As such, if anyone has perfume or jewelry, I'll give you good will.

You give shit to the gods and they increase your production.

hmmm Wonder what happens when you build a second city then.

Yeah. I had to build and tear down and build to do it, but with the money from selling cedar at 10-15 each plus some trading directly for stuff it wasn't too hard. I'm sure I will suffer in the late game when nobody needs cedar anymore.

Where do we get shit?

Anyone able to login? Game seems to be timing out. Can't make my Exchange. ;_;

Server is down. Hope things are still building.

sad

IHOPtep is temporarily on hiatus for retooling


edit: AND we're BACK

I have a ship, more on the way, and a good stockpile of cedar.  Who wants a trade?  I'm particularly looking for oil, gold, and emeralds right now, but I'll take any 1:1 trade between cedar and any other rare.  (No worries if you don't have a ship yet yourself due to lack of cedar; just pay me back once you've built one.)

This time tomorrow I'll have my temple and then some. Also, upgrading my market.

Yep I'll trade 25 Gold for cedar so I can get my first ship built.  My village is called Sepermeru in the Rafeka nome.  Ruler name is Set Jnr.  I got the bread to make the ship straight away as soon as i get the cedar so as long as we arent half the world away I sholdn't be too long in paying you back.

We are in fact half the world away, but it's on its way.  Should be there in a few days.   :why_so_serious:

My next ship should be ready to go in a couple of hours, and I've got 50 more cedar stockpiled.  First come, first served!

thanks  :grin:

Viinahz - Cedar

I've just noticed that there isn't anything anywhere that I could find that says you can't have multiple accounts.

yeah :why_so_serious:

Did my post get eaten? I asketh again, how do we find other players? Are you guys just clicking up and down the map till you find them? Search doesn't seem to work for me.

I killed the post, I don't think other people are looking for other folks, why would you need to go click on them, you can't even view their cities. I was just pulling from the other thread. And when you want to trade or talk with someone, you're in a situation to type their name in, hence why the screennames are listed above in the fashion they are.

I think you need to know the nome the other player's in before you can send stuff to them by ship; there isn't any place I can see where you can just type in a player's name and get a link to their cities.  (I'm in Osirisbennu.)

Nobody else for straight 1:1 trades?  I'd like to avoid the 10%-gouging market if at all possible.

I don't have 25 henna, and won't for a few days. I want to finish the city first.

Looks like you need a ship to trade if you don't use the market.

I'm in as Torinankh, in Djedu (default city name, looks like), in Bastshem.  I have emeralds.

I could have sworn there was a little "Please only make one account" on the sign up page.

I was looking our for it when I made a second account and didn't see one at all.

I'll make a third one just to double check  :awesome_for_real:

Correct.  And to build a ship you need cedar.  Which I gots.   :grin: 

I ship you however much cedar you want (need 25 to make a ship), you make a ship, you ship me back an equivalent amount of your rare.


I'm stuck being unable to upgrade my palace any further until I can get some emeralds and oil.  And NOBODY is selling either for ANY price, even though there are about ten emerald cities and five oil cities within one nome of me.  WTF.  So for now I'm just collecting any rare I can get for a reasonable price since they'll all come in useful sooner or later.

I saw it, too, but I can't find it now.

I'd think it'd be pretty obvious that you're not supposed to have multiple accounts.  What with the potential for abuse, what seem to be limited server resources, the game being free, et cetera.

For whatever reason, this is the first web game that's actually tickled me anywhere I'd like to be tickled, as such I'm keeping it to one account.

Well yeah it is obvious, but there are enough browser games that got abused by multi's even when there where checks and active attempts to ban/stop it.  Maybe they are trying a 'if we don't mention it no-one will think of it' approach, or maybe they haven't thought of it themselves, or they don't care or its on next months to-do list.  Don't know, but I know where this beta round is heading...

I was wondering how, for example, Fordel discovered that Ing was one zone above him, and thus found that trades would be quick.

You can search for Zones. Ing told me his Zone, I typed it in the search box and poof, there was Mularn, ruled by Ing the merciless :) The Trade window will tell you how long it will take to trade once you find the specific town.

It's a nome, dammit! A NOME.


My pharoah name is Zahra, ruler of Qena, by the way, in case you're looking at Rasesh and wondering where Sjofn is.

Nome = Amunza
City Name= JimboF13 (you can find me :) )
Pharaoh=Jumoke (which is Egyptian for something...)

I got oil, of course the server crashed last night and I never got to upgrade yet, working on getting to level 2.

I got 25 Henna if someone can ship me 25 Cedar.

I'm ready to trade 35 Bronze for 25 cedar. Let me know

Everyone should rename their city Bat Country. Heh.

Don't we get more than one city?

Sure, but those can be named the same thing also. I don't actually care if we use Bat Country, but if we all had a uniform city name, things would be easier... I think.

Osirisbennu (nome) » Seplatur (city name) » Tutngore  ( Pharaoh )

Okay.  I forget where I change it even though I changed it before.  I never find what I'm looking for in this game.  Also, my neighbour sent me a scroll saying howdy. 

Click on your palace to change it.

Signe, click on the palace, then under rename city type in what ya want :)

Changed mine to Bat Country JimboF13, that way it is easier to see on the map.

I should have oil ready to trade by this evening, when I get the stuff upgraded...finally made level 2 city.

Thanks!   :heart:  So now I am Odjit, Amundeir, Bat Country, bronze (eventually).

Which one is your name in game? Amundeir?

Bat Country Slyfeind, building an exchange now, should be ready by the time I get to work. I need to start saving my cedar....

On its way.


I can't find you on the map -- what nome you in?

Bastheh

Im a bastid I guess.

How do you like those Emeralds Samwise?

BTW: Ankhenaten
Djedu
Emeralds

Edit: Spelling

25 cedar on its way, Slayerik.  Looks like you're also on the other side of the world from me.  Glad I have 5 ships to play with, as this makes 3 of them that'll take a week to get back to me.   :why_so_serious:

Lemme know if you want to do a straight-up cedar/emerald trade, Ace, and for how much.  I'm running low on bread atm but am cranking out the lumber at top speed.

I'll take that offer. I'm up to my ears in emeralds.

Edit: I'm also looking for gold so I can start with the jewelry making, if anyone's interested in a trade.

How much you want to trade?  I've got about 50 cedar to spare right now with 16 rolling in per hour.

Heh, after I finish this temple, I'm going to have 32-40 Henna rolling in per hour. Crank up that cedar production, hombre.

CHRIST. I HAD TO BUILD A DAMN WAREHOUSE. Nevermind, temple will be done tomorrow. This is ridiculous. 300 bricks is max capacity guys.

Right now I'll go ahead and take the 50 for 50 so I can get a small fleet built. My Emerald empire shall soon rule the Nile with a well bejeweled, yet still iron fist.

I guess I need a ship - I'm upgrading my palace to 3 at the moment.  I'll have 25 leather by the end of today, I think.

So people around me are all level 1 and a few 2s, and I've cranked up my bread production quite a bit so I can snag other resources as they appear for 1 bread each.  Is this a good or bad idea?

Ships come back instantly, at least thats what the forums say, the time is one way.

Rare resources for 1 bread each are an EXCELLENT deal, since each laborer can only harvest one rare per hour (and he'll eat one bread in that hour).  Other resources (wheat, clay, reeds) are not, because they require less labor to harvest (one laborer will eat much less than one bread in the time it takes him to harvest one unit of a common resource).

Let me know when you have an exchange and I'll hook you up with some cedar so you can build a ship and send me leather.   :drill:


Sending now.

Looks like i need perfume and jewelry. I have ceder for direct trade.

Demonix

Cedar - osirisherep/Gateway
Bronze - Amuniew/TBD (city under contruction

Needed/wanted:  Henna, leather

1 trade ship currently available, more on the way.  Will trade up to 3 hours away

How the fug do you trade?  I don't see any cedar sales on offer. So bread is the currency?


cedar feels like a cockblock

1) players with cedar can build ships and travel -- they only need cedar and bread, so they are self sufficient (25 Cedar + 100 Bread = 1 Ships)
2) players with ships can trade faster and farther
3) so players with cedar can found new cities, since ships are a requirements and a few trade items

Thanks Samwise - once the boat is made ill send ya that bronze

Now looking for Emeralds in a bad way, 25 would do the trick! Have bronze for trade or we can work something out.

The boat will MAGICALLY teleport back after it reaches the city it was going to. Why they do not use this technology to GET there, I will never know. :(

how are you people able to trade? will I get more scope for sales if I increase the market level?

I screwed up my Specialization points.  Bah.

Maybe you haven't been reading the thread to see how this shit works. 

They say "hey Sam, I have some X, will you send me some cedar?"  Then I say "hells yes bitch, I will hook that shit UP" and I send them some cedar.  Then they build a ship with some of the cedar I send them and send me an equal amount of X (where X is their city's rare).

It's fucking MAGIC.

Second question: yes.
First question: click on their town from the map and click TRADE.

Yes. The higher level your market, the further you can see.

slayerik, as soon as I get Samwise his emeralds I'll send some to you for the bronze. Still some ways a way from my first boat though.

I have leather.  Lots of leather.  Rawr.

Why does this not surprise me?  :grin:

Maybe I should rename my city Botique.  Also I'm working on sandals, whatever use they have.  Not a lot right now, but one cobbler is putting my leather to use.

I need cedar to build a boat, and enough perfume and jewelry to make a level four palace.  No one is selling in my locale.  I'll be extending my market, if I remember I want to do that rather than build up my other resources.

Exchange just finished building.  I have 24 leather, should have another one within an hour.

You need a bunch of sandals for the level 5 upgrade (68 of the bitches!).

I'll send 25 cedar your way.  What nome are you in?


How much leather do you have to trade, and what nome?

Osirishedj

Thanks.

Hey, there's a new "add ally" feature that lets you type someone's name in and go right to them.  FINALLY.

25 cedar on its way, Xan.

Aaaaand that's 4 of my ships on multi-day voyages now, so I'm going to upgrade my exchange and get some more ships.

Setneshny >> Nathri >> Lashki  (I'm one south of Signe and Soln)

Currently have a touch over 100 leather.

That means he is going to burn your city to the ground btw. PREPARE YOURSELF!

Ha!  You're just on the other side of the river from my girlfriend.  Also 3 days away.  I should be able to launch a new boat sometime tonight -- do you want a full 100?  I should have that much by the time the boat is ready.

Oh sweet, they added an allies list in this latest build. That will make stalking you people so much easier.

Hm. Time to ally with everyone.

Yay, cedar will arrive in only 75 hours!

Leather

This is actually the kind of game I see f13 doing well at. Not a ton of time commitment, forum trades FTW, and stuff.

Sure, I'll need it eventually.  You want 100 leather back?

Edit for humor: Palmer_eldritch is your girlfriend!? :drillf:

4 hours left on my temple. Doing 10 Henna per hour, soon to be somewhere around 30 per hour as I've stockpiled most everything else important.

 :grin:

100 cedar on its way.  And yeah, 100 leather plzthx.

My starting area is called "raaped". I can't imagine this is auspicious. Amusingly enough oil is my starting resource; I would guess made from raaped seed?

Whew, finally I have a couple boats. Now I just need to step up cedar production. Who still wants some?  :drill:

Okie.  Once that cedar reaches me and I can build that boat, I'll send it to you.

Unwased Masses of Unwashed Masses, Amunza nome

My power is Cedar.

One hour to level 3.  Woot.

Can you set up boat-less trades/swaps with near neighbors through the markets?

For example, I desperately need cedar.  I set up a buy order at an absurdly low price (e.g., 50 cedar at 0.1 each).  One of my nice neighbors (Samwise? Viinahz?) sees the order and fills it, and then they set up a buy order for my rare (emeralds) at an absurdly low price (e.g., 50 emeralds at 0.1 each), and I fill it.

There's some extra cost involved (market fees), and it requires trust (I'll fill your buy order after you sell me your goods cheap), and it's limited to market ranges (e.g., 2 Nomes for my lvl 2 market).  BUT...it doesn't take any ships at all.

Any takers? I've got emeralds aplenty.  :drill:

Ra likes sculpture. A lot. If you and your nearby Pharaohs are able to provide 150 sculpture, your city will be blessed with increased production for 2 days!

Progress: 0/150 sculpture

FUCK A TEMPLE

Ha ha!  My roommate was telling me about how some nice person wanted to do a nice one-for-one trade of cedar for oil.  Mainly mentioned it 'cause they were amused by the city name -- turns out it was Samwise. ;D

If you got wood on this game, odds are it was from me.   :drill:

By tomorrow, I will have a few hundred (as in 400+ Henna) as well as a princely amount of bread. On Saturday night, I will switch over to making nothing but bricks and equalizing out bread production to not fuck anything up.

This is my plan. I will start trading Monday.

CEDAR MARKET COLLAPSING  :ye_gods:

You'll RUE the day you crossed me!  :why_so_serious:

Building my level 2 Palace now finally, forgot to do it last night when I got home.

Bah.

Anyway my Pharaoh name is Msamaki

EMERALDS BOUGHT ON MARKET! 4 HOURS TILL LEVEL 4 PALACE GETS STARTED BITCHES!

Whats your name in game? Ill ship you some ceder for some emeralds.

I just sent you some cedar because nobody else asked for some. And I wanted to figure out trade. Yay woodz incomings.

I haven't sussed trade either, yet, although I've built an exchange.  I might just like building stuff though I realise I'll have eventually do other things.  I'm a wee bit OCD about having empty plots.  It might ruin me.

I'm currently upgrading my market.  It'll be a few days before Sam's cedar reaches me, but at least I'll be able to trade locally within half a dozen nomes by then.

I've done rather well finding the stuff I need with buy orders. Paid about 10 per on the emerald, and like 5 per on the gold for the lvl 4 palace. Henna and oil were around 7 I think.

I have found you can make some money off bricks too. They are used so heavily that someone might need another 50 on an upgrade and overpay for em.

Started yesterday.

Rasensy » Bat Country » Jamiko

Leather (need cedar!)

Let me know when you've got an exchange up, Jamiko, and I'll ship you the cedar for your first ship(s).  :)

Sweet. I'm upgrading my wheat field to level 2 atm, will start an exchange next. I'll need a few more hours to get enough bricks though.

My advice would actually be to build up your bread/brick/basket/pot infrastructure first, as ships won't be all that useful until you've got the basics all built and start needing to make deals for luxury resources.  That said, once you're set to start shipbuilding I'll hook you up.

That's fine. I'm working on all of them, but need to increase my wheat production because I always seem to need more bread. I have the brick/basket/pot shops working hard for me. Ra makes me work hard.

I started in the same nome and had more or less the exact same reaction.  Now at least I know where to begin  :drill:


Ard, Oil, Raaped

I'm not sure what good bronze is but the shit I gots is selling! Also had an offer for a 100 cedar to 100 bronze trade. I'll be taking that as well. I'll be able to get that bronze to ya like sunday when I get back from hunting :)

Many many allies added, and now I am making ARMIES! Why? For victory!

I'm out

Pharaoh Bureet Hotep of Cairojuana in Osirisnef.
Emeralds.

Currently Pharoah Haemish leads the city of Moswin in the region of Amunmes. I'm still trying to get the palace up to level 3. Haven't even started on perfumes yet.

But you have the best city name in the game!

Anyone have bronze and/or leather to trade? I have cedar, and would be very appreciative.  :grin:

Pharoh Calandryll in the city of Nehkeda has arrived. Feel free to make me an ally, or attack me, or whatever.

I'm pumping Bricks and Bread out like crazy.  Once I can stabilize my Wheat/Bread productions I can start upgrading my clay pits and make statues by the hundreds.

Word to the wise: don't ever run out of bread. I spent myself to 0 bread through the market, and even though I had positive bread production, my peeps suddenly started working at 50% efficiency. That of course actually did fuck with my brad production, and shit started to go south in a hurry.

Building is taking way too long.  Can't I sacrifice population to get this shit going faster?

Please to be recommending this on the official forums!  :drill:

LEVEL 4 WOOOO TRADING BRONZE FOR EMERALD GOLD LEATHER AND STUFF

need henna? I have... lots

I sent you cedar, send me some.

When my ships are done, absolutely.

I really, really could use some fucking gold. I'll send bread or henna for it. Please.

My cedar supplies are replenished and my ships are ready to go.  Still happy to trade 1:1 for any luxury resource.

I'm in, Nerfu and Nerfut in Rakheben, I got Kohl on both...yay?

Is kohl worthwhile?

You too followed the Fordel plan to empire building I see  :grin:

Rasix, since you got in first with 80 cedar, 80 henna is coming your way.

Samwise you're next - either whenever I get a ship back or finish a new one.

Any resources traded to me - "Rare" ones - will be traded back 1:1 with henna. I've got a stockpile now.

Torinankh, in Djedu in the Bastshem Nome (just north of where you are, I think).  I set up a buy order for 50 cedar at 0.1 each; if you can fill that and put up a similar buy order for emeralds, we can try trading that way.  If that doesn't work, I have 1 ship now.

I did that too, and immediately pulled everyone out of all industries except the bakery. They made a bit more bread fairly quickly, and that let me put everyone back to work at full efficiency.

Alright, I know I've gotten a couple of messages from a couple of you guys for oil. I'm slow, but now I'm up and ready to go. I'm about to get my oil harvesting up to lvl 3 and start pumping this stuff out.

So, lemme know. My primary need at the moment would probably be jewelry. I know that's a luxury, but it's what's holding me back from lvl 4. No one sells the stuff. I can also trade perfume. I've been buying the other ingredient off the market.

Edit - Oh and cedar. I guess I need ships or somethin.  :ye_gods:

Ozz, I'm sending 50 cedar your way; you can pay me back in oil at your leisure.  (I finally got all I need for my level 4 palace, yay!  Should have all the pieces built by tomorrow.)

Most excellent. I now have some workers building some ships. I'll send some oil your way as soon as it pops out.

Can I get in on the cedar action too?

I'll send you some cedar.

Edit: on the way.  I assumed your name in game is Prospero.  Might take a while to get there I think.

In about three days you'll be recieving 50 kohl.  I'll probably forget I sent it by then.  :oh_i_see:

To anyone who will send me 25 jewelry, I'll ship over 25 perfume.  :grin:

Slayerik

You are in market range to me, do you wanna trade gold for bronze with purchase orders (saves tying up a ship).  We'll set up purchase orders of 50 unit blocks at 1 bread each ( I think you can only have one at a time for each resource) and renew it when the otherside fills the order.

I have decided on Perfume. If you need Perfume, give me kohl. For every, I guess, 3 kohl (since it costs 1 henna, 1 kohl, 1 bread, and an alotted worker each hours to make 1) will get you 1 perfume. I think this should be the base exchange for Bat Country for all advanced goods.

Also, I'll do the same for any other advanced good, 3 henna. Also, I will trade perfume 1:1 with any other advanced good. Thx. Production starts tomorrow. SHIP ME KOHL! I'll be buying out the marketplace in the area btw. Already did tonight. Yay bread.

I dig this plan. I'll go along with it. Send me your advanced goods and I'll ship 3 oil your way for each 1. I specifically need jewelry right now.

I can do 1:1 with perfume though.

I think everyone needs jewelery right now ^_^ level 4 yay heh. Yea. Me too. Jewelery! >_>

I'm going to be concentrating on sculpture and jewelry.

I'll do the same for 3 emeralds for 1 jewelry, 1:1 on all advanced goods.

I'm going to bed, but info for people who want to reply tomorrow:

Tomorrow by this time, I'll have 75 excess perfume, 5 boats, an absolute shitton of henna and every other resource (except bricks - which I need, obv). So if you need something specific, let me know.

I'll take like, anything anyone wants to throw at me. I'll pay 1-1 in cedar. :)

Ebo - means born on Tuesday.  Not sure what resource I haas.




edit. My resource is gold.

I've placed buy orders for cedar and henna for 50 at 0.1 each, and if anyone fills those, I'll fill an equivalent order for emeralds.  (or, place a buy order for 50 emeralds at 0.1 and I'll fill it and will then place an equivalent order for your rare resource).  I have a level 4 market (for range 4), and have 1 ship (with 2 more on the way) I can use for longer-distance trades if needed.

Rasix (Rasixes) and I have already completed 1 round of sales using the market, and it was cheap and easy!  Just make sure you're in market range with your trading partner.

In-game name is Torinankh, in Djedu in Bastshem.

I'm needing leather. 1-1 trades in emeralds if you can provide.

Also, I meant that I was making cosmetics. Though I'll probably destroy the cosmetics thing and set up perfume after I run out of Kohl. Still have reams of Henna.

Sent you some cedar, ched.  Send me some gold if you want when you have the chance.

Sweet!  I will get my minions digging up some nuggets ASAP!

For some bizarre reason, I built just about my whole city, including an exchange and even a temple and I never built a ship.  I think I was waiting for Righ to do something but he wandered off.  There are people wandering around my town saying how nice I am! 

TEE HEE!

I need ceder, I have statues.

I can hook ya up.

How do we make the trade?  Not sure how to do it.

Exchange up, would be happy to send you leather in exchange for the cedar.

Oil on the way through the market. I'll place an order for emeralds. Name is Ozzu.

I'm really tempted to say screw making bread and to just sell stuff to feed my people. That'd free up a lot of workers. It's kinda scary seeing a big red 40 or whatever next to my bread icon though. Oh the starvation that could happen if I ignored the game for a couple of days.  :oh_i_see:

I NEEEEEEEEEED GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD

Your 3 days away from me Schild

If no-one closer has got any for you I'll send some gold when I got a full 100 to make it worthwhile

just send it. I'll send 100 henna your way now.

 [1:54 am] Shipment of 100 [henna]  from Bat Country enroute to Bat Country! (4:18 am arrival)

It seems as though the people standing around in my city have more varied dialogue than they had last night. The dudes standing next to the market have "Buy orders for the win!" above their heads.

Schild, I sent you 50 oil for 50 of your henna. Gonna crank out some more perfume.

 1 ships carrying 50 [henna]  enroute to Bat Country (arrival in 36m [6:01 am])

tag!

I've got a couple of ships up, so if anyone needs oil, let me know, I need everything, since I'm still level 3.

The people in my town are now saying bad things about me.   :ye_gods:  I don't know why.  I feed everyone.  They have a temple and everything.  Is it because I haven't started trading, yet?  It's the only thing I can think of. 

Yep, that's what it was.  I just sold some bricks to a neighbour and they sort of like me again. 

I'm getting my ships and temple built so soon I'll be looking to trade cedar for crap to expand into level 4+ population

Yes, I need to trade cedar for crap, too.  People around here have bought a modicum of baskets and bricks from me, but they're not very needy for things I have, it seems.  I suppose I need to make a ship, too.  Bugger.

I am in the same boat as well (ahahaha I kill me sometimes).  I need to figure out how to make some boats - gotta get Rasix some phat gold ASAP.

I just stumbled into it; building an exchange lets you build boats.  Takes 25 Cedar and 100 Bread.  Shit thats a lot.

Maybe I'll fiddle with Righ's account.  He's cedar.

I want to ramp up gold production but need bread/wheat.  Would selling gold for 4 bread be a fair trade?

I've noticed people tend to sell their unique resources for insane amounts.  'Fair' is about 20 bread per.  I had been selling at 5 per, but think I'm going to save it for 1:1 trades.

OK, sounds good.  Who here wants to be my farming bitch?  Right now my mines can pump out 220 gold per day; I will send 150 gold to whoever can provide me 750 bread/day.


edit.  4 hours until my first ship is made - I am willing to trade gold for Cedar 100:100.  Can have it en route in 8 hours!

Roger roger.  Sending you 100 cedar; you can pay me back in leather at your convenience.

(BTW, can I suggest that we all append a little something to our city names so they show up differently in the trade logs?  I had a hell of a time balancing my books the other night.)

Wasted:

Been hunting this weekend, sorry for the delay. Yeah, I'll trade ya Bronze for your gold...PM me when you know you will be on for a bit and ill try to catch ya. I can start making ships in less than an hour when Sam's cedar finally arrives :)

I am also looking for leather big time!

I am up and running on emerald production.  Who needs them?  I am looking for Gold and Ceder, but will trade for most anything, even food. 


Bastwesheb - Bat Country - Pezzle

I have too much cedar and not enough henna.  Sending 100 logs to schild as I suspect he'll be able to help me out.   :drill:

Sending you 100 cedar; pay me back in emeralds at your leisure.

I finally got in, woo!

I'm Tzjinn, town Tzaran. My resource seems to be emeralds.

Everyone who sent me stuff will get Henna tonight. I'm making like 100 and some perfume right now but producing 10 henna/hr on top of that, but I also sent out like 400 henna or something yesterday. By tonight/tomorrow morning, I should be back and well over 300. Sorry for the delay to those that sent stuff today.

Fuckit, I'm producing a surplus:

» [3:52 pm] Shipment of 50 [henna]  from Bat Country enroute to Bat Country Slyfeind! (5:04 pm arrival)
» [3:53 pm] Shipment of 100 [henna]  from Bat Country enroute to Bat Country SC! (4:11 pm arrival)

There's a really bad shortage of gold in the Bastshem area. The closest deposits are 4 Nomes south (Setkefa) and 5 north (Setsheta). There are only 3 cities in Setkefa and all are lvl 4. There are 3 in Setsheta as well, and none have been active for at least 3 days, and all are level 1 (which suggests "dropped out" to me).

If anyone has gold they're making, (or that they can buy/trade for and resell) and want bread, emeralds, bricks, baskets, or pottery for it, let me know. I have 4 ships now (in-game as Torinankh, in Tor-Bat Country in Bastshem).

Argh, what a game, where you need gold-sellers!  :uhrr:

YES.  I am having a bitch of a time getting bricks and bread.  I am about to increase production of gold (it sells for 20/per currently pretty fast on the market, I may increase the price).

If you can get me a shitload of bread I can make 3 more ships by tomorrow and also increase brick production.  Send me 700 bread and I will send you 100 gold tomorrow.

Sending you some bricks and bread (only so much capacity, I'll send more bread once I have more ships available).  Don't forget, I sent you some cedar, I expect some gold  :grin:

Edit: Saw that it's on the way, thanks!

lol I wouldnt rip a mod off. That way leads to madness.  How much do you want for the bread/bricks? 

400 bread inbound:
 Shipment of 400 [bread]  from Tor-Bat Country enroute to Bat Country Cheddar! (12:28 am arrival) [11/16 @ 6:28 pm]

Any gold you can send back would be much appreciated.  If you need more bread, I can send it when my boats get back.

Samwise I sent you a bunch of useless bronze. Enjoy!

Wasted: I fulfilled your 50 bronze order and put up a 50 gold one.

Still looking for leather !!! 150 or 200 preferably. Can pay in bread or bronze.

I will send 75 gold as soon as I can.  Send me a scroll so I remember.


edit - my words didnt take for some reason.

Ok, I renamed to Signe's Bat Country.  My people have started talking bad about me again.  Geez, they're fickle!

I need bricks.  Trading 50 gold for 200 bricks.


edit.  List of who I need to send supplies to:

Slyhotep: Send 50 Gold
Thomnak: Send 50 Gold
Torinankh: Send 100 Gold

I'm looking for leather, perfume, and jewelry and can trade bread or cedar for them. 

Argh, the in-game mail system seems to be down. PM me here if you scrolled me about something important.

Sent you some 25 Cedar - it'll be there awhile from now. 

Still looking for that leather !

Samwise, I haven't forgot about that Bronze I owe ya, but I wil have another boat tomorrow then I'll make the big trek.

30-50 would be fine.  I'll just continue to feed you gold/bricks when I can.  Need to keep the gold flowing to all  :drill:

I'm gonna keep making henna to supply Bat Country at the alarming rate I'm getting messages, but I desperately need gold. COMEON PEOPLES. GOLLLLLD.

(http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/7261/goldmembergg0.jpg)

Make me bricks, biatch.

I'm sorry I don't trade in bricks, henna or bread. Bricks will be next week. Biatch.

Wasted is gonna send me 100 since I already sent him the Henna, but I need someone closer - with GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD.

outtabreadlol

I've been buying every second tier resource within 3 blocks that's 9 bread or less. Whoops. mah sekrit is out.

 1 ships carrying 100 [gold]  enroute to Bat Country (arrival in 57h 13m [7:50 am])

yeah the gold is still awhile away Schild.

Slayerik:Filled your gold buy order, will have some more later to trade again, I'm almost out at the moment though.


My palace is at level 4 at the moment gonna hold off upgrading it and set up a new colony.  For those that haven't looked at the price its

Founding a new city is costly! It will require the following:

    Bread 2400
    Bricks 1500
    Ships 3
    Sandals 39
    Sculpture 39
    Cosmetics 24
    Perfume 24
    * 12h 00m

I've already go tthe bread, the bricks will take a while.  The sandals and sculpture I've got sorted but the cosmetics/perfume is gonna be expensive/hard.

I will have some excess sandals/sculpture/jewelry soon to trade for those.

Wasted, I'll be sending you the perfume now. If you can send gold at some point or another that'd be the most useful thing to me. I'm sitting on 50 emeralds, but don't have the gold to make the jewelry yet.

Edit - Hell. I didn't notice when I sent it that it'd take 75 hours. Haha. That's silly and basically useless. Oh well. Goodbye boat for 75 hours.

Thanks Ozzu, I'll whip the gold miners a bit and get some out to you within a day.

Edit: gold sent, it was only oil you sent me though in case that was a mistake.

To everyone who is not Wasted (who is awesome btw!)

(http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/39720/games/nile%20online/resources_00.png)

I'LL GIVE YOU ONE GUESS OF WHAT'S MISSING.

STARTS WITH A GO AND ENDS WITH AN LD.

Piss. You're right. Haha. I'll send actual perfume this time.  :ye_gods:

thanks  :grin:

My next available ship isn't due back for almost 6 hours I'll send some more gold out then.

Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade my exchange now

Ok, now me needs kohl! Anyone looking for a 1:1 trade for bronze let me know , or built cosmetics would be even better

I just realized the problem with gold. There's NONE FUCKING NEAR ME ANYWHERE.

Also, drives take too long to format. /snore

There is gold near me but NO ONE responds when I suggest trades =( 

Anyone here want a trade of emeralds for gold?  Emeralds for anything?  I am building houses out of these things!

Emeralds for Bronze at your leisure


Ok, question to all. If you were to start a new city tomorrow...what type would you go for?

The real bummer is Bronze has nothing to combo with.

I was thinking gold, emerald, or henna (as it is used in two products).

So you mean you're going to start new cities until you get gold, emerald or henna. I'd really rather you didn't. >_>

How long does it take for abandoned cities to go poof!?  Five days or a week or something.  They're all over the place, too.  I'm having the same problem with bronze.  No one seems to really want it though people will eventually need it for their armies.  Chariot guys take bronze and they're the best, no?  I'll stick it out with bronze until I forget about this game or get mad and quit, I think.

1 ships carrying 50  enroute to Bat Country (arrival in 6h 36m [5:06 pm])

You are a thing of beauty. Or something. You want henna?

No. 


edit.  Note for self: Increase gold mine production @ 4pm - offload gold for profit.
edit 2.  If you want to send something I need 10 pottery, a lot of wheat, or a lot of bricks.

3 ships carrying 200 [wheat] , 10 [pottery]  enroute to Bat Country Cheddar (arrival in 6h 35m [5:41 pm])

Perfect timing.  Thank you, sir.  I am overflowing with gold and want to increase it even more; that wheat will keep my little dudes going until later tonight.

Later I will evaluate how much gold I can spare; probably be able to send you another 100 gold when I do my 4pm check-up (so will get to you around 10pm EST).

Is he talking about rolling new cities, or is he talking about going out and Founding a second city?

Okay, I got a boat about to come up - who wants to trade jewelry and perfume for cedar? 

No, I plan on founding a new city within probably 5 days.

My level 5 palace will get started today in about 2 hours. Then I find a nice plot of land and start building up for a new city. It will be either Henna, gold, or emeralds I think.

Emeralds.   :grin:

I'm in need of leather, as I have realized that what I have coming in won't quite be enough for my next upgrade.  Anyone want to help me out?  The more the better, and distance is not a factor.  (I has cedar.)

Anyone have 25 jewelry to spare?  The markets done south have many of us looking for it, but no sellers.  I have oil and a few boats if anyone needs oil or wants to trade for it.  Oh got a lot of wheat and reeds too.

Wheeee, they put a cap on trade times, now they won't take longer than 24 hours.  :heart:

I hope that is some sort of sick joke!

I'm close to a second city and will probably be doing gold, if anyone cares, by the way.

My second city will probably be emeralds.

I still need to get the stuff back from people i have been shipping out. Then i can do some upgrades.

Hit level 5 this weekend and just started colonizing emeralds across the street.

Christ on a crutch, who has Gold?? 
Anyone see some on the market? 
Is getting Perfume components as big a pain in the ass?
Oh, and trade me some Henna someone!

What resource do you have and how much henna do you want?

How many emeralds do you want to send me?  :drill:

How about 200 a day for the next week, then we can talk about other things?  :grin:

You want Perfume? Send me 300 Emeralds and I'll send you 100 Perfume.

I just built a temple so I'm going to need bronze soon for my statues. (We can build statues, can't we?)

Currently I am pumping 400gold per day; by end of today it will increase to some insane number I cannot comprehend.

I promised Schild 100 gold by 4pm EST, but will have a few hundred more by tonight.  I need bread/bricks; make me an offer I cannot refuse!

Did you want something for that oil you sent me, Jimbo, or was it to rub into my luxurious leathers to keep them supple?

so are you guys like trading at all with other people or just sending stuff directly to Bat folk?  I only ask because I wonder when BatC will become a cartel and starting affecting that world  :oh_i_see:

I'm trading with some of the locals, especially for secondary luxuries.

I will do that tomorrow.  Need more boats since I have some out on a 70 HOUR journey.

Most of my trading is bat folk, locals tend not to respond. 

I know which is why I think the game is borked and BatC is going to be interesting to watch.

I have a few good neighbors, besides my good Bat ones.

I hit level 5 pretty quick, especially being gone all weekend. That was due to lots o trading and micromanagement.




And yeah Sammy, finally sent you the 35 bronze I promised days ago :)

I could use some leather if someone needs some cedar. (Viinahz)

The only thing I am short on now to build my second city is bricks.

I'm thinking leather or bronze at the moment as I have a somewhat reliable close source of emeralds and have found trading partners for cosmetics and perfume.

I currently have spare for trade
25 perfume
100 gold
100 cedar
about 30 sculpture

I will have a lot of jewelry this time tomorrow

need bricks, bronze or leather though I will take anything of equal value to help people out.

Is in game messaging working for anyone?  It hangs for me..

Hit reply to read the message - its a known issue.

Schild:


edit. Expanding my palace - will expand my mining operations later this evening.  Currently we are pumping out almost 600 gold per day.
edit 2.  I'm from Holland, isn't that wierd? 

(http://www.iphonesavior.com/images/2007/12/09/goldmember_zune_goods.jpg)

Wish I had something you needed Cheddar!  I want MASS QUANTITIES OF GOLD! 

I need foodstuff and bricks.  Lots and lots of both. 

Just leather Lanyti.  Cheddar, do you want bread or wheat?

Bread.  I will sell gold to f13 members at 25% my market price; 5 bread = 1 gold.

Just sent 100 bread...err 24 hrs...drat...well it will get there tommrow night, we need a faster boat.

Nerfu and Nerfut both need 17 perfume and 24 jewelry.  I also need some cedar to both as theres none on the market within 3 nomes and i've got no boats.  I've got 1k bread and about 300 bricks right now, and I'll be ramping up kohl production soon.

Just sent 50 cedar.  Send some kohl at 1:1 when you get it.

Tomorrow, boats willing, I will send you 500 bread (maybe more)

Awesome, which account (or both?) did you send it to?

Sent it over to Nerfu - should be there in 24 hours.

Two boxin' noob. ;)

You know I'm sitting here looking @ my kids system and going..."why the hell didn't I start a city for him?"

I'm just getting around to making my first ship.   :grin:  I'll probably send someone something maybe.  Just to do it.

Here is how this will work, 5 bread = 1 gold, 5 bricks = 1 gold.  Send me a scroll so I can track orders and who I owe; I have about 10 trades going each direction.


In addition I may have a supplier of Emeralds up shortly. Is anyone willing to trade me Cedar for gold?



edit.  My bad, I meant to say 5 bread/gold.  I sell them for 20 on the open market currently.
edit 2.  Jwivonious  = 20g.  Rasixes = 60g.  Jumoke = 20g.

You can send me something.  Like one wheat.  It'll be a short trip, so you don't have to worry about being away from your city for long.

If anyone missed this: Wasted and I place buy orders for each good at 1 bread per. This will save you a boat trip (but cost you minimal market fee).

Cheddar...saying 10 bread for 1 gold is kinda going rate from what I see, but I guess it is good for guys that don't have any in their areas. 9 per all day here.



and oh yeah, I still need KOHL

Is everyone specializing their rare production?  Seemed like the smartest move and changing it is expensive...

I will have 15 here shortly and can farm for more; how much you need and whats it worth to you?   :grin:

If you still need emeralds, I'll send you 300 in return for 100 Perfume.

Cedar.  Cedar, Cedar, Cedar!  Cedddddddar.  CEDAR.  CEDAR.  cedar. 


I will trade either gold or emeralds (or a mix thereof) 1:1 == I need 200 Cedar.



edit.  Took out the CEDAR spam.  It broke my browser.

Heh. I actually ended up buying like 200 off the market >_> I'll keep you updated, right now I have too many emeralds and too little gold.

I haas gold.  You haas cedar?

I have henna, we've been over this.

I'll send you 200 cedar for 200 gold Cheddar.. incoming.

Edit: If I knew wtf your name was ..

I have cedar.  Will trade you for your shinies.

Edit: wish you could search by city name...

I am "Ebo."  Will send in the morning, waiting on boats.


Say 100:100?  Same deal, waiting on boats.  Hence the need for Cedar.

Ched, standard 1:1 trade for Bronze

Sent Edo 100 cedar.

I will be down with this tomorrow afternoon - I need to ramp up gold a bit more and figure out my bread/brick situation from here.  I may have to stop gold production to make ships for 12 hours; depends on market conditions.


edit.  Viinahz = 100 gold.  UnwashedMasses = 100 gold.

Anybody pumping out sandals? Realizing that I need sandals now. I can send perfume or oil.

I need to build my sandal supply back up, but I'll take perfume for them.  Tomorrow I should have a good amount of workers to put to the lash and speed things along as I'm upgrading to a level 5 palace overnight.

They have changed the front page now to say that multiple accounts are not allowed.

I am a bad boy  :uhrr:

The free cedar has been really helpful though  :grin:

I'll be sending 50 perfume your way later today.  :oh_i_see:

Edit: Went ahead and sent it. I had more perfume than I thought. No rush on the sandals. I'm a patient fellow.

I'll send you something soon, Lantyssa.  I still have only one ship and just sent it to Slyfiend with some stuff on it.  I'll make more ships soon.  I'm really just fiddling around mostly.  At some point I might take it more seriously and get a business plan. 

I am pausing all gold production for 24 hours.  In the mean time I will be expanding my mining capability and storage- starting tomorrow I should be able to pump out a thousand plus gold per day and will relaunch operations with a palooza.

Thats right, I will be having a GOLDAPALOOZA special in my kingdom in celebration of our relaunch!  Stay tuned for extra nifty deals under PALOOZA conditions!

I'm late to the party.

Is this game fun? I like clicking things and watching buildings appear.

We are takin' over this bitch! :)

Prepare for incoming dramabomb once people find this thread and the posts where people are bragging about registering multiple accounts.   :grin:

I've been surprising addicted to it. A good work time passer.

So, I need lots of leather.  Anyone willing to trade a bunch for cedar, bricks or bread?  I also may have some excess jewelry that could be trade bait, but I'd rather save that.

Also need: bronze.

Catophilia?  I wonder if he's psycho for the Elder or the Younger?  Someone should ask.

Signe and Myself probably both have bronze to trade... how much ya need?

The people that did will abandon the game anyway if they haven't already :oh_i_see:

100 or so.  I just want to be able to make enough statues for founding an additional city.

I only have one ship and it won't be back for AGES.  I'm working on another right now though.  Slayerik can do you, I'm sure, though.  He has losta stuffs, I think.  For some reason I have clay coming out my ears.  I think I get up in the middle of the night and do bizarre things and think it's a dream.

Reply and ask if Djedu means it's unprosperous.

My little city, South Central, is born!

Signe, i will place a buy order for sculpture extremely cheap. Sell them to me. I have a boat open and I'll ship them off.

You two wanna figure out the trade right quick? :)

Maybe 1 jewerly : 1 Sculp

or 3 cedar : 1 sculp

or a combo?

Also Signe, I am in need of bricks...I have some stuff to trade like emeralds/gold  if you need them

Ok, well Im leaving work then playin poker so never mind the offer...maybe if  someone needs something try me tonight...

OK, I filled your order, Slayerik.  I need everything like jewelry and perfume and that sort of stuff.  I'm not entirely sure what I need it for yet, but I know I will eventually.  I have a ton of stuff that just sits there, like reeds and clay and all that.  I should make another big batch of bricks, too.  I seem to upgrade willy nilly and have no plan.  I'm sure I'm doing it all wrong but I like watching all this crap pile up.

For my last shop, I think I'm going to focus mostly on sandals now, instead of building a jeweler then tearing it down, then a statue shop and tearing it down, etc. I may be making things harder on myself, because sandals are really irregularly needed, but we'll see.

Edit: I also need a little of everything right now, so if anyone wants to trade for cedar, send whatever you have my way. 1:1 trades for simple resources, 1:2 trades for complex, sound good yes?

Sandals will take a while as I gather the leather.

I think I am settled with everyone - if I missed a shipment let me know so I can get gold en route.

I've got an okay production of Perfume, Oil, and Bread going, but I could use a supply of Henna, Sandals, or Sculptures, if anyone wants to trade for those.

I have available for trade 130 Jewelery at the usual rates 1:3 rare resource 1:1 luxury good

I need 50 gold badly, I've got kohl and bricks to trade, Nerfu needs it.

I need bricks, sending 50 gold to Nerfu now

Sending you 390 cedar.

Ok it will be a cpl of hours till I have ships free and then I'll send them

Anyone want to trade emeralds for bricks?  I have 200, not sure what the going rate is.

Sent 25 sculpture to rasix - Please repay Signe in something she desires cause we all love her :)

EDIT: i see the shipment incoming and will send to her

I'm needing some jewelry, market around me sucks on it.

I've got plenty of oil, wheat, and bread for trade too.

(http://www.sheknows.com/graphics/emoticons/blush.gif)

This what you need to found your third city

Founding a new city is costly! It will require the following:

    Bread 11250
    Bricks 7875
    Ships 22
    Sandal 1800
    Sculpture 1800
    Cosmetics 1462
    Perfume 1462
    12h 00m

err yeah  :awesome_for_real:

Signe: Sent 100 bricks and 25 cedar, you still have 75 more cedar enroute from Rasix.

I'm making sandals, have about 80 right now. I need a small amount of jewelry and perfume so I can upgrade my palace. Anyone interested in trading jewelry/perfume for sandals or leather? I only need like 25 of each right now but am open to larger quantities if you need more to be a fair deal. Also, if you need sandals/leather for something else, let me know.

Jamiko @ Bat Country Jamiko in Rasensy

I can trade you Perfume for Sandals now and Jewelry for Sandals WHEN I GET SOME GOLD

I could use much leather, too. I'll still trade for everything, but I'm just sayin'. Leeeaaatherrrrr! (Amazing how something so simple could be so rare.)


Holy crap, them's ATITD requirements there by cracky!

Has that OP been updated recently with all the names and city's?

It hasn't in a while. I still need to be added: Jamiko @ "Bat Country Jamiko" in Rasensy - Leather

Does anyone have 20 Perfume I can borrow? I'm Tzinn, city Tzaran in nome 149S. I can ship back Jewelery in a day's time.

I'll send 20 over.

I ended up double clicking a different trade and sent two shipments of 50 to him instead of 1. Now I have about 11 hours before I can. Might wanna keep asking around :(

We require more henna.  Like about 200.  Want some cedar, schild?

Haem has henna. I would buy some but he's charging far too much.  Dick.

I need some Leather or Sandals if anyone needs cedar. Shoot Viinahz a scroll if you want to trade.

If my Henna supplier comes through in the next hour or two I can make you some Perfume, though I do not need Jewelry, will be making it myself in about 3 hours, YAY GOLD!

I just need raw henna atm so I can use up my oil and kohl surpluses.

Mighty thanks, I can ship back jewellery in 20 hours, my boat is out faring the Nile for the longest of distances.  :roll:

I can use sculpture, cosmetics, perfume, jewelry, and other stuff in that order if you still need leather or sandals.  I'm pretty much shipping it out as I make more, but I can put you in the queue.

How much do you need and how do I send it to you?

Lantyssa:

Put up a buy order for how much Sculpture you need at .1 per, and I'll put up a sandals buy order for the same amount after that.

I think you are just 1 north of me.

200, and you can send it to me by boat.  If you don't have boats yet, you will after my cedar shipment hits you, boy howdy.   :grin:  Do you have 200 henna to spare?  If so, I'll send the cedar off now.

Sent you some, it'll be a couple hours.

I have 200 to spare, but no boats. Can you make me some perfume with the henna I send you? I need 17 perfume to level my palace to 4.

200 cedar on its way; just build a boat or two when you get it and send me back the 200 henna at your leisure.  I should be able to hook you up with some perfume once I get my perfume shop up and running again.  Or you can check with schild, who I believe has a nice perfume operation already running.

Yep.  We're nome neighbors.  I put up an order for 50.  Thanks.

Now to stockpile bricks and figure out what resource will be most useful.

Anyone need oil? I'll trade for pretty much anything but henna. I'm at 135S.

I think I sent you 80 cedar a while ago, did you ever ship back some oil?

Apparently not! Thanks for the reminder. Here it comes. Now I remember why I just started a spreadsheet to track all of this crud.

I have another 150 Jewelry for trade.

Trading 1:1 with any other exotic good or 1:3 for rares

Dont need any more cedar unless you need the jewelry for your level 4 palace upgrade then I will still help you out.

Same game with a Barbarian/Viking motif would be better.  I want to cleave skulls and pillage.  Not a shabby game though as it stands. 

Try Travian.  Warning: is life-consuming, not in a good way.  Don't say I didn't warn you.

Travian is why I'm very happy that military doesn't play a big role in this game.

I got my guys digging up lots of gold in preperation for GOLDAPALOOZA!  Hopefully I get a gold sale soon so I can break the 1k a day barrier.

I know everyone is excited!   :grin:

Any game where I have to be paranoid all the time that my time investment will be completely obliterated, even in the middle of the night, is going to be a problem. So I'm happy I can just leave this running.

Send 100 my way Ched man

Done.  If you can spare some food I can get my peons into over drive in preperation for GOLDAPALOOZA!!!   :grin:

SENT 200!!! ITS ALMOST PALOOZA TIME!

edit.  additional

Once some boats get back, sure thing!

No pressure, just what you can spare.  Consider a good will gift under PALOOZA conditions!

I've got 75 sandals I can send you, and I throw in 25 leather to fill the boat.  I can do more leather if you need it.  Not a big deal to fill a second boat since we're nearby.

New version out:


This seems harsh: -Inactive cities are now deleted every 5 days
Unless inactive means they aren't producing anything? What if yer on vacation for 6 days?

Lant I need sandals too if you need more jewelry or perfume. (Viinahz)

There is a Vacation mode you can toggle for that.

I'll be expanding my empire later tonight. I'm looking at the list of resources and it seems like we have a decent mix of various people harvesting various resources. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking leather since sandals seem really important later on when they put military units in. I'm willing to settle anywhere though.

I'm sure I will.  I should have fifty or so I can send along by morning.

I think I'll be expanding into leather or possibly bronze.  Leather is tempting because it's just one up from me.  Emeralds are close too, heh.

Rounded the leather up and sent 90 jewelry.

I'll take anymore leather you have.

I was planning leather or bronze as well. Just gotta wait get myself some sandals and wait a day. :oh_i_see: I think nearly everyone needs leather right now, or rather, sandals.

Amundeir (122S) » Bat Outpost Bronze

I went for Bronze as my God likes sculpture, a lot!

you want the 39 sandals schild? I got the 39 sculpture as well and can throw in some jewelry to fill the boat, will take cosmetics, perfume or henna(x3)

If you can make it 50 sandals and 50 sculpture that would be great, don't need jewelery as I'm pumping it out. I can send back 100 perfume.

Though, ideally 100 sandals would be best. Sculpture is meh.

OHHHH to found a new city, yea do 50 and 50. Rad.

Ok sent

Shipment of 100 [perfume]  from Bat Country enroute to Bat Country South! (5:04 am arrival) [11/20 @ 5:04 am]

If people are looking at expanding with Bronze/Oil or Leather/Gold, lets try to consolidate to the 123S and 124S area. This way we can work together for temple bonuses.

Bronze with Bast as god, Sandals are good. I will probably move in next to Lantyssa.

Or I still might get Henna. Ug.

Looks like there are two Bat Country Bronzes in 122 S (me not being one of em : ) , if you are looking at Bronze or Henna go here.

122N is me, Lorekeep and one or two more.

I am Mademoiselle from Amundeir (122S).  Well, actually Odjit from Signe's Bat Country)

I've signed up as well. I am Vedi, is located at 80N and have gold.

Yeah, looking at the list in game, leather is in short supply right now. We got plenty of gold and bronze flowing around though. And cedar!

Doh, I just sent you cedar before reading that reply. Well, send me however much leather it's worth to you, even if it's just a little bit. ^^

I have Jewelry making up and running.  Trading for city founding items sandals/sculpture/cosmetics/perfume.  Also still trading emeralds for gold or pretty much anything. 

I'm just focusing on leather and sandals so if you need either send me a scroll with what you want to trade. I'm fine with the standard 1:1 or (3:1 common/rares) rule most here seem to accept.

Jamiko @ Bat Country Jamiko

Let me know how many sculpture you need.

I'll ship out emeralds for sandals and perfume.

So, I'm seeing a lot of people saying that they're planning on leather for their next city, and that's actually the way I was heading as well.  Are we going to see an oversupply of leather in another couple days?

IMO the people who have half the materials for a two-piece luxury good (perfume, cosmetics, jewelry) should be aiming at being able to produce mass amounts of that good without needing to trade for the materials.  I don't know if you've seen the requirements for third cities yet, but we're all going to need a LOT of ALL of that shit, not just sandals.

Those of us who have "singleton" resources (cedar, leather, bronze) don't have that option, but we can get up and running in another singleton pretty easily.  Hence my plan to go with leather, since I currently have cedar.  It sounds like Rasix has the same idea.  And Jamiko already has leather, which will make three of us in the north area.  That should be enough to supply everyone.  But if the henna and emerald merchants all also go for leather, we're going to have way too many sandals and not nearly enough cosmetics/perfume/jewelry.  

Diversify, people!

I'm not diversifying yet because I still don't know what the fuck I'm doing.  I figured out I need perfume for the lv4 palace and that's about it for my "planning". :awesome_for_real:

I'm mostly talking to people who are getting set to found their second city.  There's a LONG gap between founding your second city and your third city, it looks like, so whatever resources we have once we all have two cities is all we're going to have access to within our group for a long time.  I'd like to avoid having to deal with other random asshats for my cosmetics needs if possible.

If people need cosmetics or jewelry, kohl or gold, let me know. I need sandals like everyone else, but I'll take any luxury good or resource. I just need to be warned so I stop selling it off on the market.

Looks like I need some kohl, can trade emeralds.

I haven't even really thought too far ahead regarding a 2nd city. Mostly I am happy cranking out leather and sandals and trading them to you folks for whatever. It's enough for me right now. For the greater good and all that.  :awesome_for_real:

I'd been considering leather (my god wants sandals) and I'm currently producing cedar.  I'm still a few days from my second city, so mostly, I've been focusing on converting as much cedar as possible to other rares mostly because I might as well take advantage of my ever expanding fleet.

Emeralds would be delightful, how much do you need?

I think we may have problems with cosmetics and perfume, I've gone bronze with my second city as the temple at my main city wants sculptures and I want to show my devotions.  If someone isn't sure perhaps about going for henna/oil/kohl to churn out perfume and cosmetics I will be happy to sponser the move (I'll donate the sandals and sculpture for the city build and what else I can) and fill all trades with jewelry and sculpture, gold, bronze, cedar for whatever you have whether I need it right away or not.

I'm currently churning out perfume, but I slowed down my production due to lack of a reliable source of Henna.  Think Schild is also working on perfume, or was a few days ago.  If anyone needs perfume for upgrades, let me know and I'll send you some though.

Something to bear in mind is once armies are in, people are going to need more cedar and bronze and leather. Those could be good nest eggs...unless they wipe shortly before they add armies.

I can spare up to 50 sandals right now, if anyone wants to trade; the usual 3:1 for simple resources, 1:1 for compound stuffs.

(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/jdodge80/mats.png?t=1227214392)

Anyone need anything?  Not sure how to trade, but I need Perfume and Jewelery for my lvl 4 Palace and I'm building a lvl 2 Market and 2 ships right now.

Sending you 200 cedar.  Build ships (if you don't have them already), and send 200 bronze to me, kk?

I'll send 50 jewelry and 30 perfume to trade for 80 sculpture when you get the ships built

You need a warehouse upgrade :)

EDIT:

Yeah, I won't go leather anymore... I am thinking something noone would ever choose....like oil (isnt used in shit, even upgrades). Henna sounds nice cause it is used in both perfume and cosmetics. Whichever I need I can just find the other part and get making it.

I'm thinking of Henna for my second city.  That will give me a base for Perfume and Cosmetics, while my Leather production lets me trade for the luxuries I need.

There's a nice spot 10 north of my first city for this.  If I expand it's market to rank 5 like my first city, then I cover 20 squares of local markets.

I have 2 ships being built right now.  I'm just running out of bread.  I put up a bunch of Pottery on the market and I realized that the Market takes their fee upfront.  Doh.

Lets get GOLDAPALOOZA   going!  To start we are going to do a breadbasket discount; For the next 12 hours I am selling gold for 2 bread.  Only 100 gold per customer, please.   :grin: 

This fine deal is brought to you by RA.  ALL HAIL RA!

edit 2. 

-----------------------------------------------

Bat Country Jr is now active. Leather is being produced. I kind of forgot what it's like not to have 100 workers. Slow going.

I think I'll do oil for my second city, which should happen by this weekend. Nobody needs sandals? I have surplus.

We're going to test how strong Signe is?  I say two stones.

I started playing this a few days ago, fun game.

My name is Leo, city is Dopkhaj and I have henna!

I got to the point where I need 17 perfume and 24 jewelery to level my palace, I could trade back for henna or other basic resources if anyone is up for it.

25 perfume heading your way. It's a 24 hour trip, so if you find some closer, that's cool. Perfume is always useful.

cool thank you ozzu.

Do you want some henna back when I get a chance?

No thanks. I'm actually doing pretty well on henna at the moment. Some other non-F13 dude sends me 100 henna everyday and I send him 100 oil. So, I have perfume burning a hole in my pocket.  :grin:

I need sandals and jewelry to upgrade to level 5, I'll trade whatever.

Who sent me cedar?  I forgot who it was but someone sent me a lot.  What did you want in return?

I need Jewelry and Perfume please.

edit:
Looks like it was Samwise, what did you want in return?

Feet!  I don't know what I'm doing right now.  I ran out of space so I'm expanding the warehouse.  I finally have a few ships.  I'm making some bronze, bricks, baskets and sculptures right now. 

I'm looking to trade for 50 or so Sculptures  at a 3:1 rate of rares to Sculptures.  Ping me here or in game if you can help hook me up. 

EDIT - Thanks everyone!  I'm good for now!

I have Sculptures, I need Jewelery and Perfume for my Palace.

Also looking for Sculptures here, 50 of those, 50 cosmetics and 50 Sandals.  I can trade Jewelry, Emeralds or trace amounts of other rares.  drop me a line in game.

I sent you 50 sculptures.  It'll take forever to get there though. 

Wow....huge bug. I was founding a new city, 12 hours to go when I went to bed.

I log in today and someother guy has my plot of land, and I have nothing to show for it. Fuck me.

Whew, it seemed to override whatever was there and give me my plot.

I'll sell sandals for bread, is the going price 10 bread per sandal? How many sandals do you need? You can send me a scroll in game if you wish.

Jamiko @ Bat Country Jamiko (135N)

@Leo, 50 cedar headed to you. You can pay me back in henna when you get around to it.

@Nerf, I can spare some sandals too, if you need more.

I got this off the game forums, didn't realize sandals and sculptures are so costly to make:

Hay Sam and Vin, give Osiris some perfume.  :grin:

Where are you and what do you need, Sly?  Jamiko is 24hours away and I can only send 100bread per boat(I have 1!)

This is the part where my people would declare a jihad against Ra for demanding obediance in all things glorious to the light and to gold, but then we realized we also worship Ra and that our paranoia and xenophobia was uncalled for.  ALL HAIL RA!

Cheddar, just sent you 200 bread for gold.

Anybody got any leather?

I've got about 100 leather I can part with at the moment. I could use some cedar or other raw materials - or make me an offer via scroll.

Jamiko @ Bat Country Jamiko (135N)

If you need more after Jamiko's 100, the Botique has some, too.

Samwise.  Too obvious?   :grin:


Equal amount of whatever luxury material you've got.  I'm not picky.

It's all good, I sent you a scroll, but tell me what you want so I can reciprocate.

Anything interesting is fine.  Not reeds.  hehe.  I'm really just collecting things right now. 

Anyone have perfume?

Edit:
Sam sent you 50 sculptures.

How much do you need?

I'd like 50 sculptures (just because I don't have any). I have sandals, gold, emeralds and some jewelry available to trade. Anyone interested in any of those (or some combination)?

Make it an even fifty.  Whatcha need?

I'll take pretty much anything.  I can ship it to you in an hour and a half, my boatsmen are taking a vacation over at Tarami's capital right now.  It's a 24 hour trip to you, so if someone else is closer, might want to hit them up.

1 day is fine.  I have another shipment I need in conjunction with that taking forever too.  Pottery or Sculptures?

Edit:
What's your name?  I don't have you on my list.  I'm Msamaki

Oddly enough, I could use both, split it down the middle?  I'm in as Ard.

edit:  just sent you a scroll in game, might as well cut down on the spam in the forums

Slyhotep, of Bat Country Slyfeind. I'm at 126N. I'll ship ya 25 sandals and you can pay me at your leisure.

Edit And with that, my surplus of sandals is gone...at least till I get more leather.  :grin:

SECOND CITY FOUNDING!  Resource: leather.  Once it's up and running it will be devoted 100% to providing Bat Country with fine footwear.

Should I go bronze then?  As long as you pledge to be my sandal bitch, I can go full out sculpture.  Just worried that leather is going to be a immediate and constant need.  Do we have enough bronze suppliers now?

I think Jamiko (whose primary is leather) is going bronze for his second?  Don't know if we have any more bronze or leather in our immediate area.  If you go bronze then between you, me, and Jamiko we've got two cedar, two bronze, and two leather, which would be pretty cool.

I'll be founding Slytoo tonight, near Signe around 123S. It's going to be an oil field, le rawr.

10% increase in production to everything.  I don't really think its worth it, I guess everyone else in my nome enjoys the free boost though :)  If everyone contributes equally its probably pretty good.

New town founded yesterday - producing Henna for all my ladies out there needing some perfume and cosmetics!


Rafeka (126S) » Bat Country Saginaw

Welcome to the nome  :grin:

Hmmm.  I was going to go henna tonight...  Now everyone is doing that.

Do we have anyone doing kohl?

GOLDAPALOOZA   was a bit more popular then planned.  RA has decreed we give more gold away at friend prices; but for that we need more contests.  I am extending the program an extra 48 hours and we will include give aways along with additional GOLDAPALOOZA   options.   :grin:







more details to follow.
Hint.  Mudders, duh.  Feet of strength (Hello Signe!). Mouth of Madness.

Bronze expansion on its way.

I am kohl-tastic. People on the boards claim kohl is so scarce omg its so expensive waaah, but I find I can't sell it for more than 10 bread/per at the moment. So apparently my part of the Nile is dumb. Or cheap. Or something.

Kohl is only used in cosmetics. Sounds like you shouldn't read the boards?

Doing Bronze because there's no spots left on leather and kohl and emeralds are largely worthless.

Maybe I will go henna then.  If you want, I'll be happy to do 1:1 resource trades for your kohl once it's up and running.  Then you can trade cosmetics to others, which might be a little more in demand.

Bat Country Slytoo is up and running, right across from Slayerik at Bastheh, and cranking out TONS of oil. And by tons I mean one per hour. Perfume manufactory shall happen soon, whilst BC Slyfeind continues sandals at a reduced rate.

Lets get going with round 2!  This is an easy one; 1 brick, 1 gold.  Get those mudders cranking!  Only 100 gold per customer, please.   :grin: 

This fine deal is brought to you by RA.  ALL HAIL RA!

Torinankh == Got double gold bonus for being the first!

note: There is a limit of 1200 gold total for this offer. 

I'm about a day and half to two days away from going for a second city, and if we've got leather already sewn up  :why_so_serious:  I'm a bit torn as to what to go for.

It's also used raw in some building upgrades.

I'd definitely be interested in that. Cosmetics do sell for a pretty penny (tasty loaf?) 'round these parts. Let me know when you're ready!

I'm a lot of bricks and a lot of bread away from founding a 2nd city. I'm mainly focusing on sandals and leather.

Speaking of which, I have 200 sandals and 350 leather if anyone needs them. I'm pretty open to trades but bricks and bread would certainly help get me towards that 2nd city. Bronze is my plan for that but I can change it as the needs of Bat Country dictate.

Also, need 39 sculptures and 24 cosmetics.

ched ill send you 100 bread for 100 gold when i get back.

I meant to send Jamiko 39 sculptures but I sent them to Jimbo instead!  Dammit.  I'm NOT stoned, either!  (although I DID just watch the Tommy Chong film)

Give me a name, Jamiko, and I'll send some to you.  Also, you can keep the ones I sent you, Jimbo! 

You deserve some trinkets! 200 gold coming to you.  Stoner.


edit.  Whats your guys name, Signe?

THANK YOU I AM ODJIT.  I AM THE MADEMOISELLE FROM AMUNDEIR.  PARLE VOUS.

Oui.  Gold sent.  Dont make me quote you!   :why_so_serious:

ALL HAIL RA!!!

Looks like I'm off to a late start, but here goes:

Quinton (Quinton)
City: Bat Country QuintonCity
Nome: Rahemat
Producing: Leather

50 cedar sent for boats

Jamiko @ Bat Country Jamiko

Can I send you some sandals in return or something else?

Ok, anything is good.  I'm just piling things up.  Someday I'll make tiny little men and kill you all.  I'll just send some sculptures for now though.

You're just channeling me.  I am stoned.  Legally!  Though it's because of my back and not my foot, which is much better.

Thanks!  Would you like anything in return, once I am trade-capable?

I've got 3k bricks, 1k Kohl, and 12k bread.  I need-

Jewelry-160
Henna-lots
Cedar-250 or so
Sandals-80 (this is on top of the ones you sent me, Jamiko)
Sculpture-50 or so

I'd prefer to trade bread only to those close to me (at least until cedar arrives and I get more boats)  Both of my cities are in 139S

I need Perfume and Cosmetics if anyone needs some Cedar in the North. Send me an in-game scroll. (Viinahz)

I could send you some sculptures, Nerf, if I knew where to send them. 

What exactly does upgrading the Market do?  It added tabs, like a message board and such.  Does it expand market capabilites at all?  Back when I was Market 1, I couldn't find materials at all.  Now that I'm Market 5 I'm seeing all kinds of stuff. 

Did my market open up because I upgraded, or are more people using the market now?

It spreads the range you can see orders from.  You will see up the top how many nomes away you can trade with, each level extends that by one.  So you start with only being able to trade in three nomes, at level 5 you can trade in 11.

Started Friday at work, once i get the palace to level 3 I'll start mass producing stuff.

Douchemore
Bat Country Douchemore
Nome: Rahey (above Cheddar's city)
Resource: Gold

Leather would be cool, but not rush.

Neat game, all in html?

I'm Fenuku (late born)

11 minutes until my bakery is complete.

Doh, sorry Signe.

Nerfu and Nerfut are pharos, in Bat Country Nerfu and Bat Country Nerfut, I still need all of the stuff listed above.

In as Lacerated Sky, my city name is Dystopia.

How do I figure out what my special resource is? 

6 minutes until my pottery shop is complete!

I can hook you up with sculpture and henna nerf.

Did you want kohl or bricks in return, and what ratios?

I should check this forum more often.

Pharoah: Grexes
Bat Country Grenub
Cedar
Amunhab (166N)

This is pretty sweet.

Still need 160 jewelry to Nerfu or Nerfut, have a metric shitton of bricks bread and kohl

Kohl, kohl, and more kohl. Standard 3:1 raw materials to finished goods ratio.

Hey!  There are 2 threads for this!

Pharoh:  Lacerated Sky
Town:  Dystopia


Hoe do you figure out what your special resource is?

I r newbie.

Look at the field to the right of your palace and above your clay pit.

Gold it be.  I'm 1 screen N of you.  1.5hrs to level 2.

So...

I threw 150 sandals at a god and now he's giving everyone in the area a 10% boost in production. That's kind of cool, but probably not worth the 150 sandals.

So - anyone want gold/bricks/bread for jewels or perfume?

I need a bunch of sandals and 5 pieces of jewelry.  I have sculptures.

Trading Gold and Jewelry for anything really.

Need 17 perfume for the next palace upgrade, trading for bricks/gold/jewelry

Anyone up for trading oil for henna?

Pharao : Leo

Got tons of bricks and emeralds to give away, not really playing anymore but it's still producing stuff.

After hitting level 4 it became stale, I feel. Resource management is only so much fun when it doesn't have any wider impact (can you lose, at all?) Does anyone know what the goal will be in the finished game? Combat? Lamentation of their women? Cyber? Anything?

I could use emeralds or bricks if you won't use them. Name is Leo in game city dopkhaj

By the end of the day I should have some sandals to send you.

Awesome I'll send you some sculps right now

Slyfiend: 75 Kohl on the way to you, I got those sandals you accidentally send to Jamiko.

I still need some Cedar, I've got bricks, bread, kohl in stock.

I, too, would be more than happy to take some of those bricks off your hands. I just can't seem to make enough. Jamiko @ Bat Country Jamiko

To anyone else: I have 200 sandals and 400 leather available for the standard trades. Send me a scroll with what you need and want to trade.

Sent stuff to those who requested. Now out of ships.

How much cedar do you want?  I could use some kohl.

Lets say 200 cedar 1:1?  I need moar boats.

I'll trade you 25 perfume for 25 jewelery. Name is Vedi.

Rasix, JWIV -- I've sent you each 75 leather in return for the Cedar you sent.  Thank you for getting my trade empire bootstrapped!

I'm looking for the following items:
- perfume (min 25, max 100)
- jewelry (min 25, max 100)
- cedar (100) (inbound from Rasix)

I can trade leather 1:1 for the above goods.  Lots of 100 preferable to optimize transport, but the perfume/jewelry I only have an immediate need for the lv4 upgrade.

I'll be able to send payment within 24 hours of now (based on my first two ships returning, second two ships being built, and leather production). 

Thanks!

- Q

Anyone want to trade 100 sandals for 400 gold?

Sure.  I'll get the sandals underway.

I'll ship out 100 more cedar your way.

Lookin for 150 cosmetics. I have sandals and perfume to trade.

Going for Henna in 122 S

» [4:24 am] You sent off ships loaded with resources to found a new city! It will take 12 hours to complete.

Looking to trade my sandals for some perfume and/or cosmetics. 1:1 trades, looking for 50 or so of each. Name is Jamiko.

I need Perfume and Jewelry to upgrade my city.

How do I trade with you guys? Some guy across the river keeps begging me for Kohl. YOU DON'T GET MY KOHL, SUCKA

Much like Elvis in the Bermuda triangle, you require boats.

Don't diss the locals if they'll give you a good deal.

Yep.  My oil supplier is a local and I'm gonna  have a nice stockpile to start up my perfume production soon.

I need 8 sandals and 3 pieces of Jewelry.  So close to level 5 Palace.

Does someone need oil?  I'm building up some tankers (boats) and have almost 1000 oil sitting around.  Freaking not a lot of henna down by me, so I haven't made much perfume either.  Oh and get this, my son started an account and got his city almost on the other side of the world (I'm like 131 south, he is 31 north), he has kohl, but hasn't got his boats up yet.

Looking at things, 2:1 leather for jewelry or perfume is a more reasonable deal.  I'm still trying to obtain the needed jewelry and perfume for my lv main building...

Just started:

Setkeres (Nome) @ 28 S

Bat Cave (City)

Kamen (Pharaoh)

I think my resource is oil.  Guess I'll work towards becoming a perfume mogul.

I'll trade henna (300) and/or leather (900) for oil.  As much as you want for a 1:1.  Pharoh Lashki.

Who are you Draegan?  I'll send you those.  It'll take a day if you're in the northern nomes though.

Msamaki and thanks!

I'm about an hour and a half away from you, will send 10 of each. Keep them if you get others.

I've been playing for a few weeks casually.  I've got Palace 4 and Market 7, and gold on my plot.  I sent Schild 200g awhile back... I think he said he needed some about 10 pages ago.

I'm just now getting a bunch more boats built up, and my logs are kind of screwy and hard to read right now.  If I owe you stuff (and theres a few of you) please send me a scroll in game with what you need and I'll get it off right away.  Boats in production right now.

Current stocks: 1700 kohl, 2800 bricks, 20000 bread

I just figured out you can click on the market to trade.   What a noob I am.

I'm at level 3, Fenuku city is Tidu

Upgrading my market to increase trade range.

Lanty, sent 200 oil to each of your cities.

Great.  Which did you want?  Leather, Henna, or a mixture?

200 of each sounds great, thanks!

My sandal factory is up and running (a bit slowly for now, but picking up steam)!  I can now offer the following fine goods for trade:

Cedar
Leather
Sandals

I'm in need of sculptures and jewelry (or gold/emeralds) in particular right now, and I've got about 500 cedar, 100 leather, and 100 sandals in stock.  Can anyone help me out?

I've got plenty of sculpture and bronze. Send me some sandals and I'll send sculpture 1 for 1 when my boat's complete.

100 sandals on their way.  Ship the sculpture to my cedar town plz (I think that one's closer to you anyway).

Does 100 sandals for 100 jewelery sound good? Need about 12 hours to make enough. Ingame name is Vedi.

Sounds excellent.  It'll take me a little bit to get the sandals together as well, but I might be able to send them off before bedtime.

Anyone want to give me a hand getting to lv 4?  Having trouble locating someone to trade Oil from near me, need 25ish.  I can send Cedar or some really nifty Bricks!!!

I'm Grexes in Amunhab (166N)

Sent some, it won't be there until tomorrow though, if you need it sooner than that, might want to keep looking.

Thanks!  Sent some Cedar your way.  A day is definately not a problem, waiting on a couple other things to happen.
