Espionage report from 23.09.2005 18:35 Espionage successful! Offence Units Isle of Ashimar (14:49:23) Total Losses Small Warship 1 0 Defence Units Eclipse Isle (13:72:4) Total Losses Stone Thrower 197 0 Catapult 1 0 Buildings Main House Level 2 Gold Mine Level 13 Stone Quarry Level 8 Lumber Mill Level 9 Storehouse Level 6 Stone Wall Level 6 Research Resources Gold 925 Stone 379 Lumber 654
Now this is an interesting report I think, there is resource regenerators, but not much else safe storehouse+wall. It would seem this is for her personal farming unless it was there already when she got this colony, but I don't think so. There are some ST's plus a catapult. The latter is probably a gift but won't do that much good for her defense. It would have been logical for her to start barracks and ST production asap, but no....

Espionage report from 24.09.2005 15:23 Espionage successful! Offence Units Isle of Ashimar (14:49:23) Total Losses Small Warship 1 0 Defence Units Skyborne (6:84:3) Total Losses Spearfighter 6 0 Buildings Main House Level 1 Gold Mine Level 20 Stone Quarry Level 20 Lumber Mill Level 20 Laboratory Level 19 Barracks Level 6 Harbour Level 20 Storehouse Level 20 Stone Wall Level 1 Watch-Tower Level 2 Research Spear Level 10 Shield Level 10 Bow Level 10 Catapult Level 10 Sail Level 10 Resources Gold 4882 Stone 22701 Lumber 17884
House and wall and watchtower were targeted, not the rest. See that all research and harbour levels were done so this was not supposed to happen with this island, but clearly something is happening. This is not war/retaliation but carefully planned. Can somebody take over this island of our group or do I inform a couple of high ranking buddies to steal it from under the hawk alliances noses ?
Suggestions ?

I have the military might, but not the colony ship necessary. Anyone else?

I can have a colony ship ready in correction: 21 hours. Is the isle without ruler now, or do we have to wait for that?

Colony ship being built for taking over Skybourne the moment it becomes available. If anybody else wants it, let me know, as I'm not that keen on it. I just want to deny it to [hawk]

Shoot. I'm building troops happily on my 4 isles, no immediate plans to expand any further.

It's too difficult to time the appropriate moment for LadyHawkes isle. I say we level the island NOW !
Starting with storehouse to limit storagespace, then goldmine, then woodmill, the stonequarry, then harbour, then barracks. Dd I overlook something !? <evil grin>
Colonizing it, even if we do succeed, will draw too much enemies to the colony. More over, the only ones fully abreast of when that island will be available are the Hawk people and in particular that Verith. After they colonize we'll start a premature war with them if we want to do something about that isle, are you with me on that or not ?
But applying the scorched earth tactic there, even though it's not our property, will make it completely uninteresting to anyone in particular. And that's what we want, not ?

A report on her new colony. The usual catapults are there and 90STs, other than that pure resources.

If we go for all her islands at the same time her catapults will be toast!
Of course she might see us coming and take them to safety, we need to time it so our ships arrive when she is asleep, bearing in mind the alleged time difference!
Early morning raid? Late night?

I will try and monitor her on-line times. I think Frei's help would be great, since it seems we have complimentary time-schedules.
I am openning a relevant thread, so people can edit it and log in info

Just as an aside: there used to be a player 'ladyhawke' on Travian, but not anymore... the account must have been deleted.

Mads, do you have this FAQ you prepared handy? Should we update it a bit with what we (think) we know?
I am having a really good relationship with Francois who is well connected, so I might get some info from him and turn her flashy pacts into personal hostilities instead!
Should I send him the FAQ or give him a more spoiler-free part of the DL story?

I never wrote the FAQ, as we never could agree what to put in it. You could ask blaydwoman or CAC or whoknowswhoelse for one of the many-many copies of the story I told Matteo, but it will need some revision.

I have after the information provided by Blaydwoman (Kim) to Mads, done a little poking around on my own. The conversation with Blaydman I have (I think) pasted in the "Levelling LadyHawke" thread, but this time I have some correspondence with DJPileggi of [The_Org].
Please feel free to reflect on it and tell me what you think of it. I do not pretend to have understood quite everything he wrote perhaps. Also, I make obviously slight alterations to the way I write to people I do not yet know where they are standing. Don't know if I'm any good at that, but I try.
Date: 02.10.2005 21:04 From: DJPileggi Subject: RE: Intruductio Universalis We were at the maximum number of 30 people in our alliance so we decided to split to gain room to spread our wings more. We are still considered part of the Hawk Alliance. We are the more forward half of the Hawk alliance if you will. We do chose our own allies and our own political agendas. If you at morkin would like to have a peace treaty, this is well in reason with The Organization.

Hello,
I don't know to what extend it is inappropriate to ask, but I will ask anyway as I am in an inquisitive mood: was there a specific reason why you left Hawk for this other alliance or is it indeed just so that you needed an admin for the secondary alliance to be able to expand properly ?
From what little I've seen, I would be inclined to think you felt perhaps limited in your creative possibilities. I have been reading up on the open part of the Hawk forum recently and it struck me that you may have found Hawk a bit too "conservative".
<darklady and PF cant be trusted deleted for space>
Here he cuts away a piece of my initial message to him which i will paste for completeness sake:
My name is Marc and I am actually the one who started openly questioning DarkLady's stories and motives. Obviously she didn't appreciate that and because she gets everything without having to work for it (at least in that time) she decided to attack me. Together with some unsavoury actions on behalf of PhoenixFlare (although it would seem that he has a selective memory) that sparked a lot of distrust between the otherwise fine people of hawk and my friends at Morkin. Speaking for myself, I have nothing against Hawk or The Org except for DL and PF who are both suspect until proven otherwise.
I leave it up to you wether there is a moratorium on talks or not <grin>.

Date: 04.10.2005 04:04 From: DJPileggi Subject: Intruductio Universalis I understand completely... there are two things i hate in life, one is being lied to, and the other is stolen from. When Thaddeus took my island when i just colonized it and i tried all diplomacy he stole my island from me, he was a couple thousand above me in score, my one island to his seven, but i found his weakness and didnt even think, i hit the living crap out of him and knocked him down 1000 points. I understand your distain for them, its understandable. I never fully trusted either... but then again i will not dis them either. Sometimes its better to keep them close to keep an eye on them. if you will.

Personally I have nothing against a peacetreaty with you, and so I have put the proposal to that extend on the table of Morkin, but I must admit that the (possible) link between DL and you (or any other person/group for that matter) is what most Morkins feel stands in the way of normal relations. That was so from the beginning and it will most likely be like that to the end. It is amazing how someone can incur so much resentment by lying/bad behaviour alone and be able to cast a shadow of doubt over all she touches afterwards. But on a more lighthearted level: high bloodpressure suppressing medicines are doing great on the stockmarkets ! <lol> I'll get back to you eventually.

Ashimar wrote: ----------

That Thaddeus is unknown to me, just another one of those "why on earth would I want to build something from scratch ?!" type of "lads" ?
Myself, concerning colonies, I am still wondering wether it's worth all the effort. I have my hands full raiding unnamed islands so far, although it's getting busier in my parts of the seas now. I would want to have 1000 ST';s just to be on the safe side with a colony, but I also want cats and shis and archers, so all in all, what should I do with a colony ? Farm my own colony as some have suggested ? Not very realistic, I like my games to be realistic. I never quite fathomed the concept of roleplaying as stepping into another one's skin. I am myself no matter what I do and I'm already stretched out to the max doing just that ! <grin>
Marc the Knight Templar, Marc the Battle Mage, Brother Marc, Marc van Moordrecht, Counselor Marc... "Say, it's Marc everytime I meet you ? How boring !" Aha, but I happen to like myself, don't you ?
I rest my case.
So, how about a peacetreaty for good show with him to upset DarklAdy ? I'm sure she likes it that [Hawk] has broken up with us and this DJPileggi seems, also based on the forum parts Ive read, quite okay.
