Today I had an excellent raiding day. After some trial and error, I am inclinded to say that spying is worth the effort as you don't rely on chance (the price being time lost).

[soiram]

I am away for the final summer vacation (i.e >3days) from tomorrow night to Sunday 21st.

I will be able to log-in once or twice per day in order to give build orders, but I won't be able to spy or raid. This means that I won't be able to amass resources other than what I produce and therefore I will build things less frequently meaning that I won't contribute that much to the total score (sorry). Probably I will try to produce some WS and SF/Archers but not as much as normal (sorry).

I will be logging once in the morning and once in the night at best.

IF there is any emergency, co-admin Natmus could probably handle my account and use my fleet as necessary.

Behave!

By tomorrow morning I will have completed catapult requirements, so I will be able to produce them and as Natmus sell them to Morkin members.

My primary focus however is to build my first colony ship, so I think business as usual will start by end of month.

Don't get your hopes up. I haven't managed to sell one yet. It would seem that the idea of having catapults is much more alluring than the reality of paying for them ;D

[soiram]

Just wait till we next get attacked. THEN we raise our prices!!!!

Oh yeah, have to keep up my raiding intensity to afford them.

[soiram]

Sorry, but today I haven't managed to time my login session well due to my trip from Kalymnos island to Rhodes and an EXCELLENT windsurfing day! This means no Morkin score bonus from my part.

BUT, I will repay tomorrow, with the help of Natmus' stones. AND, I will have my first catapult ready!

[soiram]

Unfortunately I am back

So, an update of Shimeril: I have now catapult building capabilities and have built 2 of them and one is under construction. I also have the ability to build colonisation ships, but as I was too bored to check the tables, I don't have enought storage room to cater for their cost. So I am building the storehouse everyday and then my number one target is to start colonisation in order to boost Morkin's score even more.

[soiram]

Update:

I have built my first colonisation ship and sent it to its first target. Fingers crossed!

Due to immense resources needed, I couldn't do much in the meantime, so I slowed cats production and stopped all else.

Now I am back in business and focusing on reinforcing the fleet, personnel and cats business, while hopefully building up the first colony.

This probably means less score increase than the last days...

[soiram]

Colonisation ship lost.
A new Dawn emerges in Inselkampf (15:42:6) ;D

Advice on how to best grow my new isle welcome!!

[inyati]

Excelente!

[Starshatter]

Congrats! I am running both at the moment - tons of storage space on either, if you need to stockpile in order to fast build.

[SkulkrinBait]

If you can then ship resources from your home isle to maintain building 24/7.

As Natmus said elsewhere look to your defences, ship a few stonethrowers to discourage casual raiders.

[soiram]

Thanks guys! Advice dully noted and implemented

Ahhhh, with isle of Dawn and with taking care of Orvindor's island these last 3 days I start remembering the good old building times
