As Natmus wrote here, Linkin attacked and stole an island from BigBlue. It is (2:60:3) and it is already reinforced by almost 1,900 stoners. BigBlue captured the island during the Tyrant campaign, if memory serves. We are contacting Linkin, stating our intent on getting the island back.

Oh, and a quick scan reveals that RockLobster and Chapekaloco are closest to the action. People have already begun spying on his islands (see database later).

Linkin does not seem to be in an alliance... was he kicked for his action?

Seems hes been a loner for some time. No harm as long as he keeps to himself, as he has some nice force. Me and chape are both ready to move, which goes without saying, but niether have very large fleets. Sure as hell can rough em up though. I wonder why an experienced player such as himself would knowingly piss us off, and furthermore, build all those stonerthrowers. Moreover , with all of those built, I suspect his defence lacking elsewhere?

Definately, I built a load myself and now notice I'm lagging behind in spears on several isles (although I still have quite a few).

Im lagging behind in most things, but my isles have enough to deter anyone who isnt insanely intent on wiping them, in which case another 1000 would hardly matter , would it XD . In any case, im really excited about finally being able to lay some hurtin' down.

I see spy reports for all his islands in the database now. Some are obviously recently taken and unless his fleets are out, he may not be able to move his stoners off them. More reports coming in later, so we can begin to compare...
He hasn't read my message yet.
(2:68:25) (2:69:4) (2:60:3) (this belonged to BigBlue) (2:60:9) (this has at least 164 LWs+794 SFs+7 cats) (2:69:14) (this was the one that colonised 2:60:3 with 200 LWs+700 SFs + 300 As)

2:68:25, 2:69:4 and 2:60:3 I could take out, but Id lose most of my fleet, if not all, but if and when the need arises, I can wipe any one of them. The other two have too much defence for me. I have a fleet of 80 LWS and building, and one of 50 LWS and building right now.

I can clear one of his isles, no problem, but I'm not going to colonise in ocean 2.

Though there would be some justice in BigBlue getting back 2:60:3, I have a feeling these 3 ( 2:68:25 - 2:69:4 - 2:60:3 ) islands are the least of our worries. If there isn't a big fleet out sailing, they have little to no offensive power. The remaining too islands are a potential threat.
Of course, we need to hear from him first...

Indeed. Though I dont like the idea of his other isles building fleets, youre absolutely right. We probably SHOULD take out hsi mains. You know what would be fun ? Attacking him, watching him fleetsave, then sending my catapult buddies in to show him we mean business . Damn, I really hope this isn't solved diplomatically. EDIT: Could someone point me in the direction of a chart of some sort for catapults? Not sure how they work in this version , and for colonizing, I want to be able to take down a MH and SW without collateral damage :S

I'm sure anyone has figured out the damage for sure yet, the only times I've used cats they've not done the expected amount of damage (usually too little). I've currently got 15 heading towards a Level 10 Main House I'll tell you how they do.

I've the table to be very accurate providing you clear the island of troops and ships first.
