That's probably best. I've messaged you in the game anyway with what I think we should do when both my and tigon's attempts fail (as they probably will).

Yep - tigon wins, and my colo-attempt thankfully failed with minimum damage to his isle.
Now just waiting for Mos-Eisly....

Okay, my fleet status is:
Isle: [1]: 150 stonies, 1000 spears, 100 archers, 7 cats (I owe one to a friend) 75 LWS, 10 SWS, and 70 SMS. [2]: 250 stonies, 325 spears, 18 LWS, 10 SWS, 16 SMS. [3]: 250 stonies, 100 spears, 3 SWS, 6 SMS. [4]: 75 stonies. [5]: Nothing. I'm going to send some stonies ASAP.

Hey people, I'm a little uncertain of what constitutes a large fleet or army at this stage in the game. Could you all rank my army?
[1]: 100 ST, 1550 SF, 80 AR, 12 CAT, 100 LWS, 15 SWS, and 65 SMS. (This isle did most of the heavy lifting when I took out bulbizar's isle, so it's a little weak ATM) [2]: 970 ST (this is my ST dump) 1525 SF, 25 AR, 5 CAT, 120 LWS, 10 SWS, and 50 SMS. [3]: 1500 SF, 100 LWS, 5 SWS, and 50 SMS [4]: 1000 SF, 65 LWS, 15 SWS, 35 SMS [5]: (This is bulbizar's isle. I'm rebuilding the main house and gold mine ATM) 500 ST, 25 SF, 1 SWS [6]: 150 ST, 800 SF, 25 LWS, 15 SWS, and 35 SMS [7]: 400 ST, 600 SF, 30 LWS, 15 SWS, 25 SMS and 1 colony ship underway. [8]: 165 ST, 625 SF, 15 SWS, 25 SMS [9]: 350 ST, 300 SF with 75 more building, 5 SWS, and 10 SMS [10]: 125 ST [11]-[15] Nothing other than a level or so of stonewall. I'm not too worried about attack on these guys so I haven't bothered arming yet.
So what do you all think?

personally i think it looks good, you have a few too many stonies for my taste but its what works best for you, also i find it helps to have at least one large fleet of lws, even if you have to send res from other isles to get it, its much better to hit something once with 200 lws than 100 lws twice. obviously i know thats easier said than done.

I totally agree with 2kcastles fed fleet idea, I'm doing that on one of mine at the moment, although having suffered heavy losses a while ago its only back up to 180 LW so far. Your counts look ok but I'd concentrate on LW for a while, personally I like to have 100 LW in the harbour of each isle simply for defence purposes. At this stage I'd rather have 100 LW on half my isles than on just the first few. Think of it like this; with 50%+ of you isles having no LW its hard to defend, of those that do have LW (6 isles) only 2 have what I'd refer to as a proper fleet at the moment. Colowhoring works in the long run but you have to severely cut back on military, at this stage of the game it doesn't seem such a bad idea. The only problem is that when we need those forces (for whatever purpose) we won't have them. The alternative is to have several members focus on military but I find it more effective to just specify certain isles to focus on military (usually the first 1/3 of isles). My general rule of thumb here is 1/3 full military isles, 1/3 military/colonising, 1/3 new. The current rule of thumb on IKUK is 100% military (for me at least, colonisation has stopped for me there), not a single building needs to be constructed

Guys, I'll be gone at nerd camp from June 10th the June 30th. Just so you would know. I've given my pass to SB, and Driez and blazed will keep an eye on it too.
