ADDED by Shendemiar:
*********************************************************
Each isle should aim for at least: 500 spears, level 10/10
Each account should aim for some offensive power also. A fleet of: 100LWS, troops to fill them with, and around 20 CATs
These are kind of a standard for minimum decent setup at this stage of the game.
********************************************************* Original post:
Gorbag contacted me, asking about the Morkin-FoM relationship. I answered him, and asked him why. His answer was this:
Lefty is the one in the danger zone, I'm guessing from the map.
Being associated with Morkin is not a good reason to become complacant about defense.

What does a well defended home island look like before you consider a second colony?

I'll mail him ingame, sufficient defences would be around 500 Spears + fleet, for now anyway.
As the game progresses more and more is required to discourage attackers, by the time you get to colonise the value might well be 1000 spears.

At this point, level 20 wall and 350-500 spears should discourage most attackers. In a months time, everyone should be aiming for 1000+ spears on defence.
We have good relations with Orc though, Lefty should send him a few stones in tribute and a message in Orc-speak. They are role-playing Orcs, so be aggressive and grovelling in equal measure. Something like
"Lefty is part of FoM alliance. Mighty Warriors of Morkin are protectors of Lefty. Mighty Warriors of Morkin are friends of Mighty Gorbag. Lefty is but worthless thrall of Morkin and FoM, does not want to see friends have big fight. But warriors of FoM and Morkin will crush skulls of Mighty Gorbags worthless slaves and suck their bones. Better that Mighty Warriors of Morkin, FoM and the fearsome Orc Horde share the spoils of weakling pathetic enemy alliances. Much spoils, plenty for all 3 mighty alliances. Many skulls to crush, plenty of enemies for all. Orc Horde can take colonies from weak pathetic crybabies of TRS instead"

Lefty is actually a "she".
I'll message her in game to warn her, but I'm assuming Gorbag is referring to her "main" isle. Who wants to steal 1 point colonies after all.
One thing is for sure, the ties with Morkin have worked this time in that we got a warning, although as Natmus says the relationship we have shouldn't be relied upon too heavily.

I think Orcs would prefer a nice big 500+ colony, all you need to do is look at Sabby and Gorbag : )

Must be someone else then, unless he means your 1 point colony is weakly defended, which is normal.

Probably Coruscation then... I would say ~450+ spears is sufficient at this stage (although one should always strive fore more of course). I'll drop Coru a mail and see what his defence is like.

Strange. Maybe Gorbag was trying to sound out how we react?
And: Yes, I think something like a wall level 20 and around 500 spears is the current minimum force needed on a 'main' isle once we have colonies.
