An Elite member, this report is from a contact I have in Valheru who was spied on by Torreymac.

[eproxy]

He's obviously gone for a few ships over more isles.

He's built a large fleet to say he doesn't even have a level 20 gold mine yet... his spear count isn't as high as others but with their high gold/lumber ratio thats no surprise. Interestingly he also hasn't finished Spear research.

Looking at his resources and development I'd say he's either not as active as others or he's looking for a main isle to colonise, quite possibly the latter. He's probably waiting for the person to colonise a 1 point isle so he can take their main.

[SkulkrinBait]

I agree with you, he's definitely going for a col ship and perhaps the spying attempt was trying to pinpoint a main to take. However, the person he spied on only has a main, so it was a bit of a waste really.

[coruscation]

Tom is Torrey_mac's friend, he has his pass and builds stuff from time to time.

He wants to colonise someones main, but I don't rate him as a player.

[eproxy]

On IKUK Torreymac is aggressive but often without the conviction to carry threats through. I don't rate him either to be honest, he acts big but unlike alot of other players cannot pull it off.

[Tomthebuffalo]

I never understood TorreyMacs style of play.
Why oh why wont he just build up that last mine level?

Having said that, it is his style to act tough, do nothing.
He is my only link into the depths of the ingame [Elite] forum. And a nice read that is too!

[Natmus]

Torrymac tried to bully some Angel player, but Aja stepped in and challenged him. When he pulled off a lucky scouting he suddenly grew very silent and to my knowledge have left Angel alone since.

Aja still might come visiting with a flock of cats someday, though. It's not Torreymac couldn't use a large serving of humble pie.

Also, without cats of his own he need another player to level the main house for him.

[eproxy]

I know a couple of Elite members have them (including Grover), they'd probably level the Mainhouse for him if the isle was already cleared.

[Dalfiatach]

Does anyone in FoM have cats yet?

Did I hear a rumour they're more powerful in this game than on the co.uk server? That'd be nice, I've got 8 of them now

To think, on co.uk after a year of play I never had more than 37 cats. Of course, my tendancy for glorious suicide attacks in Morkin wars might have had something to do with it ;D

[SkulkrinBait]

I don't think any of us have Cats yet, but I seem to remember one member saying he had the ability to build them but hadn't bothered yet. I'm starting a new thread about this.

Idle for a long time now.

[eproxy]

You'll need cats to knock the main-houses down if you intend to colonise them, also of note is that the first isle has some stoners and a stonewall.

[AeroS]

I didnt think the stoners would be the issue and the post was in hopes to draw some allies in my direction. Im a bit lonely in my part of the world. I wouldn't mind a little company. how do the cats work in an attack like that? Do you need 1 cat for every level of mainhouse or something?

[eproxy]

With catapults you aim at a specific building and it prioritises that one for destruction. The amout of destruction that takes place follows a set pattern;

Building Level	Catas Req Per Level	To Raize to Level 1	Absolute value
1	0.12	0.12	1
2	0.14	0.26	1
3	0.17	0.43	1
4	0.20	0.64	1
5	0.24	0.89	1
6	0.29	1.19	2
7	0.35	1.54	2
8	0.42	1.97	2
