And...
It would be great if we could start with (2:60:9) and (2:69:14) since these are ones that can move stoners around (dropping them on a island of choice at inconvenient times).
If no-one volunteers, I'll throw something together...

I had hoped to take on one of the stoner defended isles. However, I will volunteer a suicide fleet to take down one of the larger isles' defenses somewhat. If a few of us sacrifice a fleet of 50 LWS with soldiers, one of the big fleets can take out the rest.

Just saw Guinevere's (Guinthefey) post. Great. Well my colo ship might be quite close but my fleets are way over at the other side of ocean 1. Clearly this is going to have to be coordinated very well or we'll lose our cats and colo ships to stonethrowers dumped at the last minute.

There was a small defense on the island - which he took from Tyrant during the Tyrant campaign. He spent almost all of his forces taking it down, as I understand it and barely had enough to escort the colonyship afterwards. And then he focused on getting it rebuilt rather than protecting it.. Ive just been through the attack reports for this isle, It was malin who cleared tyrants fleet from it, i cant tell exactly what if anything that big blue lost in attacking it because whoever posted the corleth ones erased the names and put units of corleth in their place but this is the succesful colo attempt. Quote:*Attack on _......|007|Tyrant {2:60:3} _* Colonization successful. *Units of Corleth* *Total* *Losses* Large Warships 56 0 Small Warships 20 0 Small Merchant Ships 129 0 Colonization Ships 1 1 Stone Throwers 46 0 Spearfighters 244 1 Archers 30 0 Catapults 6 0 *Units of _Tyrant_* *Total* *Losses* *Plundered resources* Gold 1 Stone 0 Lumber 0

Tell me, is damage completely proportional to the number of warships sent? What I mean is would 2 fleets of 50 LWS do the same damage as one fleet of 100 LWS. Because this isn't the way things happen in real war and not in LOM.

I believe damage is proportional. So two fleets of 50 LWs does less damage than a 100 LWs. But the second fleet will probably have less to contend with...

Because this isn't the way things happen in real war and not in LOM. No, it's not as simple as that. The bigger force takes losses exponentially proportional to the size of the other force, that's why if you attack with overwhelming odds you only lose a spear or something, but with only 50% advantage you lose a big part of your fleet. So in general it's best to attack with the maximum force you can muster. Having said that the tiny percentage chance of losing your entire force regardless of odds is a bit naughty. ;D

Just got BigBlue's numbers. He should have 110 LWs + 20 SWs + 50 cats ready for an attack. I think we (if we are doing an alliance per island) in Corleth will go for the big one, (2:69:14). For the time being, we'll be aiming at hitting this monday the 19th, 12:00 GMT (13:00 CET for me )

Having just (ie. last night) lost 20LW with a full complement of Spears and a Coloship to a 0.3% chance I think I'll sit this one out^ I'm sure either myself or skulkrinbait can organise the isle we're assigned destoryed though.

No problem with me, but as I wrote above, I think (2:69:14) (unless someone insists) is going to be a Corleth island.
Pick one. Organise a fleet wave. Arrive around monday 19th 12:00 GMT.
Oh, and if I am to call this off, message me before saturday noon...

Then I will clear the one Jenny will colonise. Jenny, let me know which one, and when you need the job done.
