Off topic somewhat but I am highly pissed off, my very first colo ship failed and I lost it against a 1 point unamed isle. I really do not get colonising.

kk will do.
Just a quick question, if I'm right then I really don't deserve the resources. You send the colonisation ship to the island to attack, would the odds of succeeding increase with any LWS?

Yes, sending a colonisation ship on its own is insane—there's about a nine per cent chance at each attempt that you'll smash it. You need at least seven large warships to ensure the colo ship survives; most people send more than that for good measure.
Edit: now that I've read your question properly, sending more warships (probably) doesn't affect the odds of a successful colonisation, but it does preserve your valuable colony ships.

I used the calculator and found that it had an 8% chance to fail. Sucks really.

It does suck. But that's still a one in twelve chance that you'll lose, which, when you condider the number of attacks that occur in this game (lots,) means that a lot of people will be defeated with those odds. Most people would consider an eight per cent chance of failure to be pretty risky.

It was very risky on my part. The most annoying thing now is the 5/6 day wait for resources to build another one, also the 5/6 day loss on producing spears and lws.

Like it'll take you that long brother! You perhaps forget my 3 isles near you, they produce a heck of alot more gold than they do stone or lumber so the latter resource is all you will need. I forgot to mention not sending the ship on its actually. If people sent you the odd bit of lumber (my own stores are again dangerously low) you'll be back on your feet in no time!

Good good! Thanks Shendemiar, it'll certainly speed this up so he can get his first colony
