Seems interesting, starting as a dwarf in SW. Hope to contribute to the dwarven war machine.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Welcome aboard Rakonas.

Anyway... was about to launch my first attack but then...

You cannot send military units against this player, as this would break your new player protection, which expires on Jun 8 2010 11:48AM

EDIT: W00t! Got a gold cache near my settlement, but I don't have enough research points to research Bartering yet. Let's hope it will stay there until tomorrow!

Good news! I have managed to raise half the gold needed to form the alliance!

[Spartan 117]

Hurrah!

Say, what's a good defensive force size?

Was thinking about going Orc for a bit, but maybe if I like it and the second server comes out (if there is one..)

Hallelujah! By tomorrow I will have researched Bartering and be able to gather gold around my settlement.

Hurrah!

Not sure, but that depends on the size of attacking army and its composition. I personally plan to raise a division of 20 Yeomen, led by a Yeoman commander, for both defending and attacking.

Welcome to the party, Neyvn. You can create two accounts, but you can't use one to supply the other. So, give the Orc a shot if you like.

Sounds good. Halbardiers can form a shock troop role when we get them I guess.

IMO, no. They're slower and carry less capacity than Yeomen. Yeomen is your poor man's raiders at this point. Halbardiers are better for defending. Haven't gone through swordmen so I can't speak anything about them.

PS: This is in the context of raiding inactive settlements.

[Neyvn]

I will see if its worth soaking some of my time into it, I already play Evony. So I might be able to gather up some basic EXP when playing these kinds of games...

[BuriBuriZaemon]

You mean, Evony, the game that used bikini-clad ladies for advertising?

[Spartan 117]

Weren't we talking about a defensive army? I was thinking Halbardiers would be your more elite guards, and serve to actually pose a signifigant threat.

[Deon]

Dwarves excel at axmen. I have 17 yeomen now (spearmen) and I plan to upgrade military tree soon.

Ah sorry, got mixed up. I had early attacking/raiding in mind. [EDIT: The word 'shock' troops correlated to assault in my brain.] Halbardiers are indeed the elite guard against cavalry.

I'm not really concerned about defense at this stage. The settlements around me still have newbie protection. I plan to move on to infantry after Yeomen with my first settlement, skipping Halbadiers entirely. Hopefully this won't cost me a capital. :/

Has anyone fought the npc's on the map yet? And if so whats the point? Do you get resources or something?

At the least, experience for your commanders I'm sure, so you don't have to attack a player to get any.
