I need sculpture, will send you sandals.

I'm getting ready to launch my 3rd city, but beginning to feel the futility of it all.

I have leather and henna.  What should I get for 3rd?

Everybody needs a lot of jewelry all the time. I'd recommend gold or emeralds; that's what I'm doing with my third (haven't decided which though).

It's interesting; gameplay gradually gets more involved as users play, while interest wanes. Yet users start out very interested, but gameplay is slow. I wonder how well it would play if they reversed that; the more you play, the less maintenance it requires.

I went for oil for my third, it's paying off nicely already. Might want to check what kohl is selling for in your range, too. No one built cities on it because it was pretty crappy to start with, but now that you need a shitton of it to upgrade brickworks, it's holding steady in my area for 7-10 while all the other raw stuff (except oil, which is usually at 10) has dropped to 5-7. Jewelry has been going for pretty cheap because lots of people are making it.

[Nerf]

I still need those sculptures, lots and lots of them, whos got em?

[Fordel]

I have about a 1000 Sculptures doing nothing for me and I could use cosmetics certainly.

Seraphia at Mag Mell

[Nerf]

1k cosmetics sent, still need lots moar sculp, who else?

[Slayerik]

I am Slayerik

[Fordel]

Sculp's are on the way. Though we are apparently on opposite ends of the nile :(

[Nerf]

I could use some more gold if you've got it cheddar, I'm still at least another day out from founding a gold city.

I need a metric shitton of cedar too, around 2k or so, I'll go 1:1 for kohl or 3:1 cosmetics/sandals

Also, more sculpture, I think prospero told me that to upgrade from 10-11 you need like 1k sculp per city, so i'll need..6k

Send me a message in game - I will get you a couple thousand!

[Jamiko]

I'm shipping you as many sculptures as I have ships available.

Also, anyone need sandals, leather or bronze let me know. (Jamiko in game)

[Samwise]

I have SHITLOADS of sandals (I've filled the warehouses in two of my cities) and will trade at the usual rate for anything except for cedar, bronze, or sculptures.

[Slayerik]

Sam I have Henna and need shoes.....3:1 ?

[Rendakor]

Anyone here taken a monument yet? I've some military questions...
When attacking, is it possible to send a force from two different cities to attack simultaneously?

Is it possible to move forces between cities?

Is there a point to developing military in two cities, or should I just build all 3 barracks in one city?

Any suggested palace level I should reach before attempting monumental conquest?

About how many soldiers are needed to take a monument?

Which of the troop types is the most powerful?

[Samwise]

Sam I have Henna and need shoes.....3:1 ?

Yes.  How much?

[Slayerik]

1500 henna enroute for 500 shoes

[Prospero]

I can always use more sandals. How does 1000 cosmetics and 1000 perfume sound?

[Slyfeind]

Anyone here taken a monument yet? I've some military questions...
When attacking, is it possible to send a force from two different cities to attack simultaneously?

Not cities in different nodes, and not simultaneously even if they're in the same node. Attacks are done within the city, and only with that city's troops.

Is it possible to move forces between cities?

No, but once it's captured, you can send troops from any city to any monument.

Is there a point to developing military in two cities, or should I just build all 3 barracks in one city?

If you have cities six hours away from each other, then troops will take six hours to reinforce the other city's monument. But I've found that only one city's military is sufficient for one monument. (So far!)

Any suggested palace level I should reach before attempting monumental conquest?

Troops take bread, 1 per soldier, so you'll need lots of it if you want a big army. That's about it, though.

About how many soldiers are needed to take a monument?

I think about 50. It seems one soldier is worth two bandits or something. Unless you're taking it from another player, in which case I'd recommend 2-to-1 odds.  Even a couple soldiers at a time can wear down an enemy, if you just want to pick at it. (That's what I did.)

Which of the troop types is the most powerful?

I suspect charioteers because they're more expensive, but there may be some weird rock-scissors-paper thing going on, particularly in pvp.

[Slyfeind]

I has many sandals now. Anyone want to trade me 500 jewelry for 500 sandals?

Edit: And statues too. 500 statues for 500 jewels, ne1?

[Samwise]

I can always use more sandals. How does 1000 cosmetics and 1000 perfume sound?

Sounds perfect.  Shoes away!

[Rendakor]

Sly, thanks for the answers. I just built one of all 3 barracks and have been slowly building forces; plan to attack later tonite.

Edit: Monument successfully taken. How do I send workers there?

[Slayerik]

Took me a minute too, but in the exchange there is a "To Monument button you have to hit, brings up a different UI.

[Rendakor]

I see that, but all its giving me sliders for are soldiers, bread and bricks.

[Samwise]

Try freeing up some workers.   

[Rendakor]

Facepalm.

[Nerf]

Whats the going rate for limestone and who wants to sell me some?
I've got cosmetics, kohl, henna, and sandals for trade atm.  I need lots..like umm...12k

[Slayerik]

Take a monument and print the shit :)

[Slyfeind]

Whats the going rate for limestone and who wants to sell me some?

I need about 700 cosmetics, and can afford the limestone. Limestone seems to be selling at about the same as any base rare resource, so...3 for 1?

Edit: I dunno how you guys can amass thousands of resources. I have a hard time keeping above 100 of anything. >_< CRAZY HORDERS ALL YOU

That's because you sell it all on the market at ridiculously undercutting prices, you bastard.   

(edit) Also, schild should feel free to ship me some of his bricks that he obviously doesn't have anything to build with.     I think that stockpile would just about cover my next round of palace upgrades.

At least you know I'm not getting rich! And besides, if you ever buy anything from me I refund half your money. 

Edit: MOSTLY!

[Slayerik]

Uh schildy, make sculptures? Or just send it all to me I already have production up and running :)

[Nerf]

Thats shameful Schild, I have more workers in 1 of my cities than you have all together!  Upgrade that shit, yo.

[grebo]

Um, Schild, please build spearman, come take my monument, then ship all that giant pile of bricks and bread over!     I'll take it from there!

[Nerf]

Anyone have pottery and baskets up for trade, and what is the going rate for them?

Edit:  How the hell do I get laborers to a monument plot? I stole one from someone in another nome and tried freeing up laborers in all 3 of my cities, but I still can't assign any to the quarry.

[Rendakor]

After freeing them up in a city, go to that city's exchange, then click the 'To Monument' link and send them to the monument. When they arrive, you can then add them to the quarry.
