on a side note does anyone actually know how the build schedules that come with xxl work ? anyone who bought xxl for that feature would have been cheated out of their money. I asked Sven himself, and he replied that once a day it is checked whether *all* the scheduled troops/ships can be built, and if that is the case, they get started. Eg. set up 10 Spears for every isle that can produce them, and when you've got 800 gold, 100 stone, 300 lumber on *every* isle you have scheduled them for, then they get trained. As far as I can see it seems to be late evening when it happens. So if you go away for a week, calculate how many resources you produce in a day, and how many spears/ships you could build, and it will happen. Unless someone plunders one of your isles.

Well, the schedule remains, so if you put 10 spears in it only takes 250 days and you'll have your 2500

I'm probably a bit slow on the uptake with this, but if i put 1 spearfighter and 1 lws on the schedule will it continually build both ?

Once a day it will check whether they can be. So after a week you could have 7 spears and 7 LWS.

only sven schramm could go to all the trouble of programming something like that and end up with it being bloody useless. why couldnt he make it so that you just put in the amount you wanted to end up with and it built them as and when you had enough resources ?

Don't ask me I guess with several thousand users it'd be too much of a strain on the servers, so he just checks once a day. But he could at least build as much as possible of it.
