IMPORTANT: Defend yourselves!!

[eproxy]

Coru and tom have 500 spears + stoners on their mains. To whom Gorbag was refering I am not sure, perhaps he has an alternative reason for giving us this information.

[SkulkrinBait]

Maybe he was trying to elicit information from us without sending spy ships? Or he's trying to worry us into thinking he's got huge fleets.

[coruscation]

Seriously, he has exposed some major flaws in our alliance.

Trust. We all are competent players, unity not division.

Gorbag drops one comment and we start to panic.

[eproxy]

I wouldn't say we panicked but I would certainly admit I was concerned, after all it takes only one minute flaw to open up a massive crack. Just one weak link can break the chain.

[inyati]

Far from panic coruscation. Morkin is based on much dialogue. We talk alot about everything. Comunication is essencial and the more FoM members place their views here the better the stronger the alliance will grow IMHO.

Its by exchanging ideas that we get to know each other better and if "we" are having panic attacks or just trying to resolve a situation, or figuer out what's behind a piece of information....

[mmupatton]

I certainly appreciate the input on how many spears (we are talking about fully researched shields here, right?) that would be necessary at this stage.

[bishop]

I would also be interested to know how many stone throwers everyone is putting on their new colonies. Clearly they need some defence, even if it is relatively minimal.

[Natmus]

I'm probably going to regret saying this, but I'm not putting any on at all. Stoners are a waste of time and resources.

When mines are up I build barracks level 5 and start building spears. It's a gamble, but with the current state of play it could pay off.

[eproxy]

I do that on IKUK pretty much (or at least I only move around existing stoners).

I've got my barracks making stoners on my colonies; my first colony has over 300 of the things, my newer ones have alot less. Usually though I am spears all the way xD

[coruscation]

I concur with Natmus, I don't re-enforce my colonies.

It's not worth it. And I farm my colonies for resources.

[Ringthane]

I have reached 1k spears at my main, and already going for the 2nd hundred in each colony.

[eproxy]

Nice, I havn't even quite started getting Spears on any of my cols (although they do have stoners). Your main also seems to be quite well defended so far, effectively a couple hundred spears ahead of mine :S

At what level gold mine are you all starting to produce spears? I waited for level 20 on my first colony but that has been producing stoners since level 12 (or maybe it was 15?).

[Arminius]

Perhaps Gorbag was referring to the colony at a later stage, once it's fully built up...

[Natmus]

I think Gorby has his hands full with those sneaky TRS bastards right now. Diesel surrendered to Gorbag after TRS had shown they couldn't fight, then they used the cease fire to try to coordinate new attacks and even to get Angel to join in.

When that little spat is done, we should try to get Gorbag back onto track about what we should do about Tyrant. He is out of control, if what I hear is true.

What happened with TorreyMac's main?

[coruscation]

Ask Tom. He knows.
