CB2 takes OVER (in Off-topic)

Gun discovered a new game, started just today, called Wild Guns! and we as a CB2 community are going to TAKE OVER.

As of right now, there are a goodly number of CB'ers who have started, and we intend to form an in-game alliance and beat out all competition.

Currently playing are:
[CB1]Gun
rent
Moltenwolf
drudge
Hakai
Soxjr


Come help us take the game over! We're all gathering on Server 4.

1. Go to http://www.spydah.com/forums/
2. Sign up. You will not see anything when you first sign up. This is to prevent people not in the CB alliance from seeing the forums.
3. Message Spydah on CB or on Wild Guns with the user name you used to sign up on the forum website.
4. Spydah will add you to the list, and then post away!

yay! Come join us! ^_^

What nation? or doesn't it matter? :/

Doesn't matter what nation you choose :) Just make sure you choose Server 4 so you can come find us and join up to conquer the WORLD

Eh. Bored already. In tut and it's taking 9 minutes to build one of my two farms.. Gah...

JahRoor
I'm building up Roorsdale

29 minutes to build a granery. And not being able to build (and therefore do anything else) in the meantime. No thanks...

Awwww. =(

Well, it's a fun combination with CB2 for me :)

I'm in!

Username : BluBBen (of curse)

I've started. We'll see if I get bored. Name is Xenko.

I think I'll try it, too. Doesn't look promising, considering games I've tried before and didn't like. One stands out specifically. Looks practically exactly like Wild Guns (hopefully it's not as bad as I found the other one).

I'll probably quit before the week's over, but... eh. Why not?

Yeah, I'm bored already. It's the exact same as another game I've played (and hated). Everything takes too long, and nothing really interests me in it.

*number being dialed* hello? waaambulance? i've got an emergency! tyriel needs help! stat!

I'll check it out when I get home.. This better not be another crappy game that sucks.

Another gameforge spinout? Ogame was the only good one they ever put out, and that's slowly dying. All they do these days is use the exact same system and put a new GUI/theme over it.

I'm in.

Building up my Main building right now, which I think people should build up first. It takes a while, but chops your buildings times down.

Yeah but the building times don't matter when you don't have any resources to build with....

Oh yea, how often does your supplies regenerate? Every 10 minutes? I couldn't find that anywhere in the game, and that would sure be helpful to calculate what needs to be done when.

Giving it a shot... looks boring but will try & stick it for a while..

Well, from what I gather, you get whatever the (+#) per hour, though it goes up little by little throughout the hour.

Someone please correct me, if I misunderstand how it works...

it's the number per hour. but it adds up like... 24 per hour would be 4 every 6 minutes. or 1 every 1 minute 30 seconds.

Resources are more important than building your main up initially.

Count me in :).

Do we have a CB alliance yet?

I am Zandagarth in 168, 212

I haven't had the chance to build an Embassy yet. Currently we have no alliance, but I am at 196|225

How!

Im in as Freed at 201/162

I am in.

I am in with the same name

i'm playing as well as LightningRaider at 251 / 141

139 / 241

Tutorial isn't going to get finished until tomorrow, as far as I can tell. It's going to take ages to get the resources...

Well i've started playing a quite fun game called "12 sky". Its completely free, rather addictive and the graphics are good. Anyone else play?

What part of the Tutorial are you in? And yes, it's best to follow it for the Resource award instead of branching out and doing your own thing.

I'm at the part where I need to build:
1 Hideout, 1 Ramport & 5 Farmers (Hideout and 2 farmers on the way).
Hopefully I"ll be able to do the rest after I get home from work tonight, but the farmers take about 40 minutes each, so I would suggest making them asap.

Is anyone else past that point in the Tutorial?

I'm in!!

Only have one Iron mine expanded and working on 1st clay pit expansion.

I'm at the same spot as RX3.

Seeing as the manual isn't terribly illuminating, does anyone know what the booze trek unit actually does? It would seem that it possesses the ability to completely capture a village, but I'm hoping I'm wrong on that.

For those just starting, after the 2 farms make 1 or 2 clays off the bat.

Also, be sure to activate your account. There is a rumor floating around on the forums that if you don't, your account will be deleted after 7 days. Better safe than sorry!

The activation can be resent, and often shows up in the spam folder.

No activation link was sent. Used the "Resend activation" feature. Still nothing in the email.

Lammy, it's not in your "Spam" folder?

Which @____.com are you using?


And for all those wondering how, just click on "Settings" to find where you can activate your account.

hotmail.

I also do not see my link (also hotmail)

I'm in as well. Bartman (go figure) is my account.

I'm having the same problem with activation. I'm using earthlink and it doesn't seem to receive the email. It not in my spam folder either. Anyone have a solution?

i would say to change the settings on your spam to accept mail from this place. and then it should go in your regular mail maybe? i don't know

It isn't in my spam folder either

Apparently, hotmail isn't working out that well. It has been suggested that you use either Yahoo! or Gmail for the activation, but who knows.

I just switched to gmail and it works. This kinda' sucks 'cause I use my hotmail acct. for gaming and such to reduce crap emails I get on my gmail

Yeah it isn't getting through hotmail. G-mail works fine.

Okay you guys have convinced me, so I started playing as well. I'm already playing too many webgames as it is though, so we'll see how long I'll last.

Sergeant Bromsnor is my name, and my coordinates are 121/176. :)

Guess I'll stop playing. ;p That's really lame a game restricts which email you can use. Especially in this day and age.

Lamu, I don't think it is intentional :(

Don't leave us!!!

I've tried changing my email but it won't let me until I activate my account. Frustrating!!!!

I'm hoping to build my embassy in the next 24 hours or so. When I do, I'll create an alliance called Carnage and we can all join.

Sound good?

Well, apparently there is a cap of how many can join an alliance per level of Embassy.

I only know that someone posted you can have 9 members @ level 3 Embassy, but that is not confirmed yet.

We may have to have mini-alliances until we get big enough to have 1 huge alliance.

The way I took it is that if you want to join an alliance, you must have an embassy. To create your own, you must have a level 3 embassy.

So, start building your embassy's people....

icydragons village (281 / 178)

having trouble with activation e-mail also, have tried 4 different providers and hasn't appeared at any yet but I'll still be playing now and then.

I finally sent a message to an admin. We'll see if I get a response.

Let's wait a few days before building an embassy. Just focus on resources for another day or two.

I agree. Besides that, we will need multiple Alliances at the moment, which means we'll have to split in groups.

This is something that should be done once we have a strong enough foothold and plenty of resources/defense.

I'm on there, as ColonelCustard. My village is at coordinates 143,145.

Mikels village (255 / 163)

I was about to suggest that someone make a list - well done. Who ever is ahead of the game should create and upgrade their embassies anyone joining the alliance should also donate stuff to help upgrade the main embassy. If it works anything like Travian did - yes there is a limit to each alliance but you can then form secondary alliances and on the main alliance page mention that attacking any secondary alliance will bring down the wrath of all. We will send out AoD to Reap a few souls :)

Hah! I'm all proud of myself for being #4, and then I see Bartman is #3!

Currently 6th here, Gun 7th, Hakai 12th.

As I see it, we are already taking over. There are almost no alliances formed yet, and if we team up we'll instantly reign supreme :P

Lingualas village (248 / 285)

hehe, slow game though, takes forever to get raws...

Hayek Junction (126 / 235)

Here's a quick way to rule them all...

Wood 80 | Clay 70 | Iron 120 |Grain 70 | Worker Slots(Score gain) 4

Only Iron is in triple digits. Good score gain. Leads to this.
If the six or so more of us who fight for top 20 partly specialize in one resource each. Could form a short term trading syndicate to cover each other leap frog style to get tutorial rewards and share part of the profit with trading partners in succession or simply forward each growth with the excess. In order to cover more ground which we can't otherwise wait for. This is also a fun way to plan. This thinking would work best with GW & OB.
Would 3 persons working +48 while 3 others work +15 grain to be more efficient than the xenophobia we have now? We don't even need embassies for contact.

Oops. Forgot to mention that's the market building for us indian.

Well, I can try this to see how it goes. I don't have my marketplace up yet, but my current stats are:

Wood 195 (+32) | Clay 175 (+32) | Iron 136 (+28) | Food 94 (+13) Food consumption 49/62 Approval Rating 100%

I have 3 lvl 2 wood, 2 lvl 2 Iron, 3 lvl 2 clay, 3 lvl 2 food, and 2 lvl 3 food.

I have 0 archers at the moment, but I have completed all the other steps of the tutorial to that point.

(The time is 9:12 a.m. server time)

Please add me to the list.
Stingiestbards village (237 / 196)

Got one and jumped to 3rd.

Sent Hakai 70 wood & 70 clay to tide her over from using nuggets. Only took 1hr 15mins.
Let this be known for direct sending: You can send raw materials only to your own villages and the ones belonging to members of your alliance.

Sweet, it worked.

FYI, when you get a delivery, the "messages" box glows blue, then you go into "trading reports."

The subject is "Raw materials were delivered" and inside it says: A merchant arrived from Loaded Rifle and delivers the following goods, then lists the resources and how much of each.

So... I've read that an alliance can hold up to nine members. But I haven't found anything about the benefits of an alliance. Why bother when you can send materials to eachother anyway?

Maybe we should put the list above in our Wild Guns-profile, just to scare people off. "Proud members of CB2" :P

If clans max out at nine, we should from strategic groups on nine (resource specific/production specific members) . Obviously, there would be implied collusion between groups (no attacking).

Perhaps adding a [CB] tag to the beginning of each clan name would make this easier. Also, would be nice if all of our clans were in the top clan point spaces :o)

Aeris
Village: Nibelheim
Coordinates: 263, 155

Clans maxing out at 9?

I hadn't heard of such a thing. We can just make multiple CB2 clans though :)

I think alliances start with a maximum of 9 members when your embassy is level 3. As your embassy level increases, the number of members allowed also increases.

I've started an Embassy, I'll build a market later tonight.

Here's a updated list. The first name is the name a person uses in Wild Guns, the numbers are the coordinates of the town, and the name in brackets is the name that person uses in CB. Please, feel free to add the information I'm missing or forgot :)

Too many misspelled words are driving me crazy. Names are very hard for the CB spellcheck. And since I don't feel like adding <br> tags everywhere, I am inserting this little piece of text. My apologies if you read this thing.

Why not just make a docs.google spreadsheet? It'd be much easier than the way it's being done now I'd think.

"I think alliances start with a maximum of 9 members when your embassy is level 3. As your embassy level increases, the number of members allowed also increases." This is correct.

Indeed we don't need to waste raws to be cool...yet. Don't care if you list us in your profile, I'm still laughing at my last invite from TheBestPlayersofWildGuns. When we started playing said it would be a race to start the ally, first one there runs it. That goes for all.
Ally names would be close to [CB2NADs] Carnage Blender Native American Division. ;)

Hehe, we -could- have an Indian, Mexican, and Cowboy alliance.

I vote for Carnage Blender Treaty Organization (CBTO).

I vote for ACBF Allied Carnage Blender Forces

Who ever makes it, takes it. :P

Anyone know how to increase raw food material income? I have 2 farms at 3 and 2 at 2 but it's still +5.

Nevermind. Found out for my self... Have to build a Mill, which requires a level 5 farm.

You don't have to wait that long. If you upgrade your farm a couple times in a row WITHOUT building anything in between, your +# will go up. Whenever you build something besides your farm, it lowers the +#.

So upgrade 1 or 2 farms, Let that build up a bit, then build whatever you want later. This is the most effective way I have found so far.

I currently have 4 farms at level 3. I have completely abandoned everything but making farms for the moment. It's proving to be quite helpful.

Yeah, wheat is a serious choke point as far as raw materials are concerned. It looks like any decent building strategy will have to account for building and unit upkeep with increased food production compared to the other materials.

Is it supposed to be that way or is it a glitch? ... Either way, wish I'd have known about it before.

I'm sure the game accurately reflects the intentions of creators, Entreri. One of my favorite games, Master of Magic used a somewhat similar system for food production and upkeep. You just have to plan ahead.

I just checked the top scores. We have 9 players in the top 100 right now. If we all join the same alliance, we are definitely in the top spot.

My town: BluBBen x:167 y:162

Alliance is up and open. I could only invite 8 so far but that'll change when I expand again. We'll see how fast we can rise to the top of the chart!

i'm in like 7500 place

Sheeze, I made a couple of poor build choices and am now having to wait a day for my food reserves to build up enough for me to do anything else...

I can't trade/receive until I have a Market place ?

Fear me. Ranked #1178.

AbbathorXs village (175 / 263).

So everyone needs a marketplace and embassy to be able to contribute yes?

G_Beee, you can receive. I have not yet built my marketplace, but Gun managed to send me some clay and wood anyway.

Don't woory about building an embassy until the end of your 'protection'. Just focus on resources.

Well, I can't do anything until my food resource builds up.

Might as well go to the pub :)

edyits village (122 / 267)

Bartman, I have accepted your invitation and have joined your alliance. What resource do you want me to focus on? ......We should all focus on a particular resource to maximise our potential.....

I have 2 lvl 3 and 3 lvl 2 food (adding more soon), 3 lvl 2 wood n clay n 2 lvl 2 iron..... Let me know which 1 of the 3 resource I should focus. ( wood, clay n iron)

I m in the train 5 farmer part of the tutorial. Cheers!

Welcome Zan!

You get a bonus on resources when you finish the tutorial so finishing that should be your first goal.

Food is going to be the short pole in the tent for all of us so that's where you should focus your efforts after the tutorial.

Two members, and you're already in sixth of the top alliances, lol. Nice job! lol

I started a new account in the sixth server, as a Mexican. They're great fun too :D

I just accepted your invitation :)

Alliance is 3rd Strongest now.
And only 3 of us in it.
Zandagarth
Bartman
Mikel

And yes, everyone should focus on Farms.
I have 3 Level 3, 3 Level 2, and all other resources are Level 2 (Iron, Clay and Wood).

And my Protection doesn't end until another 4 1/2 days.

i agree with the farms... i just discovered it as a weakness

I'm producing +17 food, currently. I could join the alliance, if you guys want me to. How do I do that, by the way?

Sorry Bart, couldn't join. I don't have an embassy yet.

In order to join, you must have an Embassy level 1.
Post here and/or let Bartman know you have one so he can invite you.
But more importantly, keep those Farms and resources coming in. Don't worry about following the Tutorial too much.

If you have your resources coming in at a good rate, you'll fly thru a few of the tutorial Requirements.

First level: Build up 2 farms to level 2
Second Level: Build Storage for Raw Materials and a Granary
Third: Get 2 Iron, 2 wood and 2 clay up to Level 2
Forth: Build Barracks, up Main to level 3
Fifth: Train X Units, and Build a Hideout and Up your Rampart to level 1
Done!

That is if I recall it all correctly. The Hideout might be in the wrong spot.

hideout is right, i'm at the last step but need to concentrate on food for a couple of days

How long does the whole tutorial take?

As long as it takes to follow it, but it rewards well.

Building embassy now. I'll be in it soon =D

what do i get for finishing the tutorial?

...

Did you read the bottom of the tutorial page?


"After finishing the tutorial, you receive a premium account and increased raw material production for one week!"


In addition to that, for each step you complete you are awarded resources as a bonus.

yeah, i was talking about the resource bonus

definately are why you want your resourses high before you finish last step of tutorial.

On the alliance there is a forum area. i have posted a welcome and also if you post needing anything that maybe we can work tegether... lets test this out. click your embasy then click to alliance. then there is a forum link for those in the alliance that want to check it out

It seems like I always have a short supply of clay as well... I should have been the Mexican's or something.

I'm running out of clay and i'm mexican

I have a shiny new embassy... if only I had somewhere to belong (pretty please)

I'm JahMex on S6, and JahReds on S5 if anyone wants to start an alliance.

By Monday, I hope to have an embassy built and be ready to join the alliance.

Just joined the CB 1 alliance.

I'm looking to expand my embassy tomorrow. When I do, I'll be able to take more members.

Wow, this game is slow. I havent yet worked out if thats a good thing or not.

Well... I wont be playing it. For some reason my computer errors every time I try to do anything... o.O

I just joined :)

For those of you just joining, pump your farms up heavily.
I am making quite a bit of food per hour now, and I have a level 2 Market (and will continue to grow it and my farms) so I use that to get the best deals from people that want food.

You can easily get better than a 1:1 ratio. Food seems to be vastly under rated in this game until you get going and then you realize you need tons more.

For example, I just traded 100 Food for 140 Logs, and before that I traded 100 food for 120 Iron.

yep, food really is hard to come by.
Pump your farms up every time you get below 100 food...

As for the real reason, we're late with forming an alliance.
I'm already seeing several alliances showing up and gaining members.
Currently doing the last task, only need to build 5 farmers and I'm ready.
After that, I will begin building the embassy as fast as I can.

I'm still counting 3 days though...(could this game be any slower?)

you'll be glad it goes slow when you're getting raided :)

Ok guys....for those who have finished the tutorials....what's next? troops or trade?

there im ready to get invited in the guild

so, should I keep my other raw materials at lvl 2 and pump my food?

Yes, Food seems to be the resource that slows growth.

You shouldn't just go for food without first thinking about what you're trying to build next. Also, I think each class has a slightly different ratio of what's needed when.

It's really a case of working out what you're looking to build and then some simple arithmetic.

My next requirement is to "build" a further 3 'Poncho's' (Mexican soldiers).

To do so I need a sum total of 480 iron, 390 wood, 345 clay and 180 food.

Knowing your refresh rate means you can see what you should really be working on. It's going to take me 1090 mins to get what I need on iron and only 540 mins to get what I need for food.

Should I bite the bullet and build another iron mine to actually complete my Poncho's quicker than if I were just to do the soldiers first..?
Yes, I should. My refresh rate on iron will increase enough to justify an iron mine being built and I should actually end up completing my 3 Poncho's quicker...

Should I look beyond my 3 soldiers to what the next building is and understand the food requirements for that too. Of course, but I can't be bothered...

I still like the game though :)

In saying that, the food refresh rate doesn't appear to stay constant but actually drops. Must remember to keep an eye on that...

It drops when you build. But if you have food built up over time, the impact is less. That's how I see it anyway...

But G_Beee is right, building up your food while ignoring everything else is senseless, as someone will just come and take it. Don't forget to keep an eye on when your protection is over...

That's a good point Hakai. Once the resources were under control, I built an academy to train soldiers. I'll be training soldiers as soon as I upgrade my embassy.

Does it drop +1 every time you build something ?

When you build something, it will show a crossed-out grain and a number - that's how much grain refresh the unit/building steals.

Most things take one, yes. Farm upgrades and building the hideout take 0, and there are a couple things I've seen (building upgrades) that cost 2. It's shown in the building cost as
"Wood 325 | Clay 240 | Iron 350 | Food 50 | (crossed-out food symbol) 1"

should I try to finish the tutorial or build up my resources?

I'd advise you finish the tutorial given that you get resource bonuses each time you complete a step.

DarkWeb (180 / 148)
Embassy will be ready in 30ish...

/\88/\

So what could happen if you are attacked/raided? I assume resources can be taken, but can buildings be damaged/destroyed as well?

Well you can build up how ever you want, but I just traded:
170 Food for 200 Clay, and 85 Food for 100 Iron. (One more level and I'll have a level 5 Farm and then I'll build a bakery for a nice food boost).

So GB is somewhat correct in not dismissing your other resources, but you can easily put a trade 100 for for some resources.

80 (+20) Food consumption 59/79

Look at it like this. I am currently using 59 pieces of grain per hour, but producing 79 pieces per hour. So my profit is 20 pieces per hour.

Tezmacia (183 / 305)

Logans Run(321/214)

So you have to be logged in for "game time" to go by?

Oops, looks like not, nevermind!

is there a rule in wild guns that says I can't buy resources with stuff outside of the game?

From what I understand, as long as you can send resources using the "send raw materials" function, it doesn't have to be an even trade...so I guess, yes, you can.

Wonder what the cb$ exchange rate is for the various goods :)

i'll supply anything to anyone for some money to pay my debt here :P haha. j/k

recently traded 200 food for 280 clay, that's a Mikel-style deal ;P

lol, I would do 1k-1.5k per resource.

Well, I traded 50 wood, 50 clay, 50 iron, and 50 food for 300k CBD. There's a starting point you guys can jump off of to set a standard.

WTB Raws

are we allowed to ask to buy stuff here?

I just sold 60 grain for 100 iron... :o)

I'd like to ask to be included in the alliance. Coordinates: 143,145. Call me.

just finished building my embassy

Spread Sheet of Wild Gun Players

nice list RX3,

just one note..
My screen name there is the same as here, my village is named dos cervezas.

I"m saving up for my first mill right now ;)

well, I've given this a try as well... Just started an hour or so ago...

We need to help Bartman with his Embassy so the alliance can take on more members. Also maybe Mikel or another advanced player should start upping his to start another alliance that has a non aggression treaty with all other CB alliances.

Bartman - what level is your embassy - and what mats do you need to up it a level or so ?

why can't I build more archers? can't I build units when some are out looting?

OK, I've finished the tutorial.

If I build an embassy will someone invite me? If there's no invites available I'll continue to harvest more raw materials and put in place preparations for when my protection finishes.

I'd rather join an alliance though - does anyone want me ? :)

ok i've made a second alliance, anyone that wants to join cm me and i bartman let me know if you want to be allies with me

we already have 2 alliances...
An alliance can hold at least 60 people, so I'm sure we've got enough for now.
As for me, I've built my lvl1 embassy, just need an invitation to one of the alliances.

Indeed, nice list RX3! Spreadsheets do work better :D

After getting a few farmers, my food output is finally enough to be able to build efficiently... I need to upgrade my rampart to finish this tutorial chapter. After that, I'm building an embassy and will try to join one of the CB alliances. Nice work on starting the second one, AoD!

Bartman - do you need any help with the Embassy upgrades - we have many people waiting to join. Also I think it would be a good idea to allow someone else to help with the admin (preferably from a different time zone than the US).

Draugluin
Draugluins village (162 / 102)

Just joined, resources seem a mite slow

With all this resource making activity going on for raw materials, is anyone actually building military to help the alliance when we inevitably get raided ?

im an indian so im building a huge force just to raid over and over.
Raiding is far more profitable then just building up your building. Attack some of those bandit villages in your sector to gain fast resources.

I'm still under protection so can't be attacked yet, I assume that means I can't attack either (I only have 5 basic units anyway).

What's the strat for attacking ? Can one class attack a different class only, or can it attack the same as itself?

I'm Mexican btw.

"Raiding is far more profitable then just building up your building. Attack some of those bandit villages in your sector to gain fast resources. "

I was wondering if this would be the case. Please, explain further!

DrAcO5676s village (198 / 98)

Beee - nope, you can attack whomever you'd like, except me. :)


And yeah, some of us are preparing our military. I've grown 10 archers and will be working on horsemen soon enough. ;'D

Everyone knows that they can send out troops to raid the inactive (gray) camps, yes?

Do now...

Yeah, apparently it takes no resources to do it, and it brings in quite a bit. I was not aware of it until about 5 minutes before I posted. ^_^

What the recommended minimum to send on a raid and come out ahead (subtracting out lost raiders)?

Well, according to Gun, you don't lose any when raiding gray camps. He reccomends sending all of them. I send out 10 archers at a time. Make sure it is "Raid" though, not attack or back up. Also, be sure to click "OK" on the "meeting place" screen.

Don't keep an army on def. keep them on the move and farm those greys. lvl1 rampart & lvl1 hideout should be enough. If anyone attacks you post here.

for the ones who are out of protection already, were you attacked right away or did nobody figure it out

oh crud, are we out of protection now?

It should say on your settings screen whether you are still under protection or not, right at the very top.

I just upgraded my embassy and sent out invites to:
Lochnivar
Spydah
Hakai

I'll continue to add members as my embassy permits.

Angel of Death has an alliance with only 2 members. We need to grow that one as well.

Geeez. My biggest goal: Eventually getting an Assembly Point. :P

i can add 4 more peopel for now but still upgrading my embassy but people gone have to protect me incase people try to attack me since all my resources go to upgrading the alliance

Guys - join AoD and get in TH alliance - we will own this.

I attacked a next door neighbour for the first time a while ago - lost one troops and got 50 of each material back - not good

Serialkillers village (133 / 278)

can I Join an alliance?

Embassy upgrades allow me to add an 3 additional members to the clan per upgrade.

This is what I need for a level 5 embassy:

Wood 485 | Clay 350 | Stone 405 | Grain 215

I'm currently building resources at the following rate:

Wood (+45) | Clay (+45)| Stone (+52)| Grain (+9)

Any resources donated will go directly to the next embassy upgrade.

im also going for embassy 5 but im going to bed in few minutes so i can probebly get my embassy to lvl 7 tomorrow morning

I'll send you over 100 Grain as soon as I get my market place completed Bartman.

I'll send some mats to both of you. I have my resources pretty high right now.

I'll help as best I can.

Ranger Roost (194 / 317)

Seems I have no grey villages around me.

I wouldn't attack the greys anyway. You'll lose a troop or two and the rewards won't compensate. At least that's my experience...

from to Arrival at Duration
Dos Cervezas Bartz Town 13.05.08 06:12 7:13:19

30 Wood
30 Clay
30 Iron
60 Food

not exactly lightning fast transport... If I'd known it took so long I would have sent more.... ah well

how many alliances do we have now? And which one could i join?

I agree with bee. I did a raid, and unlike on Travian where if you raid someone and they don't have units none of yours die... here it seems they can. and that makes it not worth it.

Q: when it says xxx production, how long is the interval this production occurs?

Every 20 min? Every hour?

Every hour.

if you have 10 archers as indians, you get free raids (at least when they don't have nighttime bonus) - 25 mins 1 way for about 100 units of each resource. seems good to me.
btw: I only raid other NPC indian camps. maybe players later.

Dude, GW, are you off WG? Your town is gray....

Bartman,

Please add me to the alliance if you can (just got an embassy). I will send resources.

Sent you 100 grain Bartman. Looks like it's coming via the slow boat from China.

does making someone else an additional leader in the alliance allow for quicker expansion?

I've noticed a statistic called "attacker luck" in the battle reports. In 3 raids I've launched so far, I have lost one single unit, in a raid where my attacker luck was at -8.4%. The other two were 12% and 17% attacker luck, and nothing died. This was using only 5 attacking raiders, by the way.

Not sure. I added Freed as a Co-Leader. We'll see if it helps.

If everyone could send b/t 50-100 of whatever resources they can spare, I can use a couple of nuggets to even things out and make the upgrades possible faster.

For the record I am SittingBullet. Seems there was some confusion.

Want to make this clear to CB2 and any other CB alliance.
Don't list our positions!!!! Or use our CB names, use game names.

So you mean AoD's alliance, which lists everybody's position? You can check, it's currently rank 9 in the Ally Top 10.

I have sent AoD an in game message about this

But why? Don't we want them to know who exactly to send their armies and farmers to?

*dry laughter*

What do farmers do? Where do you build them? I built 10 archers, and it told me the tutorial was over.

I think only Cowboys have archers. You can assign them to either wood, iron, clay, or grain. For each one you assign, it gains you +1 raw material production (of which the farmer was assigned) per hour. They're kinda like a base defensive unit with an added bonus.

Updated Spreadsheet. Can an admin post this in the OP maybe?

And also...

''I think only Cowboys have archers''

It should have read: ''I think only Cowboys have farmers.''

Farmers != Archers

are we gonna split resource gathering for wood, clay and iron? then move it around the alliance?

well, I think maybe if we want to start doing that, we'll need another place to put those posts? This one is pretty full... What do you guys think?

Someone invite me to alliance, name is Verifex in game.

Giving it a shot

Annihilus
81/189

this game like Ogame? or something..cause Ogame is fun

ppl are deleted from the list, still got 4 invites left after upgrade it will be more

Over-expanding on farms is very bad if you don't keep up with upgrades on your Granary x____x.

waiting for resources is boring lol... still trying to finish the tutorial where you need to build barracks and upgrade the main bldg 2 lvls. :(

I'm in as Kong Ming.

Kong Mings village (290 / 133)

someone CM me where i can see when my protection ends

^ Settings, top thing I believe. ^

Click setting up the top. It's the top thingy there.
It has it in their weird time, the same as the 'when will i have enough resources' thing. I can't figure out what time it means, because it isn't the server time... and I don't want to think too much about it.

What does level 7 main building bring? Anyone know?

AoD sent me an invite to that alliance, In game name is HenkBres.

The time it displays seems to be GMT +1. Since the Terms and Conditions and whatever other things are in some Germanic language, I assume it is the server time, and that the server is located in Belgium, the Netherlands, or western Germany.

And, in case I used the wrong abbreviation, I meant the meridian of Greenwich standard time zone when I said "GMT."

You are right, Colonel Custard, it's GMT+1. The language you are seeing is in fact German, so I believe the servers are located somewhere in Germany. I am in the Netherlands, and AoD is in Belgium, heh so the times given are correct for us.

For everyone who is wondering, GMT+1 is 6 hours ahead of CB's server time (EST).

Sorry, make that EDT...

5 invites are send and 4 left

Levon (198, 126) is ready for an invitation... i won't build much for a little while to contribute some initial resources

i have an invitation already from "Amigos", but i'm guessing that's not one of our alliances?

I think that we should just concentrate on building up each other by contributing and sharing resources instead of making trades (unless profitable ones). Anybody agrees with me? Since everyone should have at least cover their own food resource, let's divide up the other resource!

I'll take wood! That means that I will concentrate on wood only and most probably build a sawmill as well..... Tomorrow onwards, I can provide aid of wood!

Taking a look at the other alliances (WOJ).... I think that they are already sharing resources and are fast building their soldiers n etc....

Please give your comments.....

I don't know if this is a hijack or not, but I'm gonna ask anyway! I'm not through the tutorial yet, but I'm on the last step of needing to build my rampart and train 5 units. I'm putting this last step off in order to up my resources, perhaps mistakenly. I havent built a marketplace or a embassy yet either. My resources are currently at:

Farm: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3
Wood: 2, 2, 1, 1
Iron: 2, 2, 2, 1
Clay: 2, 2, 2, 2

Am I behind? What is everyone else at?

all farms 3
Raw materials 2

Got myself a barracks, the alliance hut.

Currently building my army to 10 to complete that step of the tutorial.

Your far ahead of me.

I am trying to take my main building to level 3 and even though I have the correct recourses, it fails to work.

Any ideas?

Tez - I'd grab those soldiers and finish the tutorial. The +25% to production will get you resources far faster than if you put it off.

Yeah, but that +25% lasts for a week from whenever you finish right? Does that 25% apply to to whatever your resources are at the moment you finish, or is it some fixed amount? If its not fixed, Id rather wait until I up my resources more, thus my 25% yields more. Or am I mistaken?

Yes, but you can build your resources faster if you are getting 25% more.

You'll end up with more resources in the end if you finish the tutorial sooner than later.

I believe server time is your own local time.

My server time is GMT and not GMT +1 for example.

You're all doomed if I should happen to release a beast from my lvl 75 dragon pit! muwahaha!

do i have to but a hideout before i can have a rampart

No need for a hideout until your protection ends.

Actually, I would disagree with OB about finishing the tutorial as fast as possible. I would've let all my resources hit max, and perhaps upped my Granary and Raw Material Storage once, THEN finished it, and then I would've had a huge boost in upping resource production - the premium trial account gives you another building queue slot.

"Your far ahead of me."

"I am trying to take my main building to level 3 and even though I have the correct recourses, it fails to work. "


Look at your food number. You can't build it if the number of food required is bigger then you can supply, it looks something like this: 24/30

I am just concentrating on building resources at the moment before I finish the tutorial. Right before my protection ends (tomorrow evening) I will finish the tutorial and build up some basic defense.

Currently I have:
Farms: 1 level 4, rest level 3
Wood: All level 3
Iron: Half level 3, half level 2
Clay:All level 3

Henk,

I have enough food. I will try again in 1 hour.

42/46 is my food number so I should be able to successful build.

You need to up your farms there Ranger. Your food production is really low at only +4 per hour.

"I am just concentrating on building resources at the moment before I finish the tutorial. Right before my protection ends (tomorrow evening) I will finish the tutorial and build up some basic defense.

Currently I have:
Farms: 1 level 4, rest level 3
Wood: All level 3
Iron: Half level 3, half level 2
Clay:All level 3"



I really wish I had done this. You get the supportership for a week when you finish the tute. +25% resource income (Among other things). I'd have just sat there building up for ages if I knew.

Has anyone gotten an activation e-mail?

I have not yet, and asked for it 4 times yesterday.

Should be gettin +36 each resource, +20 farm, before you rush for ending the tutor. You should try to get that over with as quick as possible all the same for the production boost and raids are a real must.

We should make a new thread as sending small amounts to those yet to finish the tutor will help us all.

What e-mail address Ranger? Hotmail doesn't seem to work with WG, but G-mail works fine.

why cant i see rampart as one of my building options

It's already in your village, as lvl 0. Look to the lower corner, right side of the entry path. For cowboys and Mexicans it's right there, don't know for Indians.

I have comcast.net.

I even looked at my spam folder and nothing.

Do you have to activate your account to continue? Otherwise I am hosed it seems.

I got mine activated using Gmail.


So far I haven't seen any reports that anyone's account stopped working due to not activating...

Yahoo mail worked for me, so between Yahoo and Gmail you should be able to get your account validated, Ranger.

I used an old Gmail account to verify!!!
however I cannot change back to my real address.

I have Comcast as well. I imagine youre checking via Outlook? I had to check it via the web so I could move it out of my spam box there and activate.

You can only change your email address once a month.

I changed mine 2 times today.

If anyone has spare resources, I can certainly use some.

I am at Ranger Roost (194 / 317).

We should try to shoot for everyone in the same alliance if possible within the next week or so.

so far there are 2 alliances delf, i think 2 are good cuz allies help each other

I think deifeln's right, we should try and get everyone into the same alliance

Agreed AoD, allies do help each other, but in this game it isn't possible to send resources to an ally if they are not in your 'formal, in game' alliance. As the week progresses, we need to disband your alliance ans shuffle people over to the larger one.

I have sent Bart 400 resources for the current alliance (he must build the embassy at a high cost of resources). I intend to send him more. If you are currently in the larger alliance, please send him more resources so that others may join.

I also think that once AoD's alliance is disbanded (and he himself has joined the larger group) we should send him some resources (slowly, as not to go over his limit) to pay for the expense he has put into his embassy.

sry to say but im planning on disbanding at all

That's fine, you can be the 2nd 1-man CB clan! :) After all, creating a second one was your choice, not something we all decided together or anything.

"sry to say but im planning on disbanding at all"

Is there a "not" missing in that sentence, or are you just using some weird grammar?

I agree that we need to expand my embassy as quickly as possible so we can add new members.

The faster I can expand, the faster we can build our alliance.

Here are the requirements for the next embassy level: (level 6)

Wood 620 | Clay 445 | Stone 515 | Wheat 275

If everyone sends 50-100 of whatever resources they can spare, I can build quicker. You need to have a market built before you can send resources.

Just so everyone knows, the resources are not received automatically as soon as they are sent. I've seen some resources take as long as 8 hours to get to me based on where the send is on the map in relation to my location. There are some slow wagons out there.

I am going to prioritize the invite list based on who sends resources.

Thanks all!!! :)

I have way too much stone, I'll send you some as soon as I can build a MP

just built a market place as soon as its up if i can figure out how to send you something i will, i want in on the alliance

Same here, I sent you a CM...

Sounds good folks. I'm trying to respond to every message but let me know if i missed you.

If I go to Embassy>To Alliance>Options>Invitations, I see this message:

Invitations

No invitations to others are pending.
To invite further players into your alliance, you need to expand your embassy first!


Does that mean if we all made a lvl 3 embassy in the clan, we could up the amount of members we can take on?

As far as I know, the clan can only grow with the lvl of embassy of the owner of the clan.

All members of the clan must send Bart some resources (min 200 each) so he can continue to build the embassy and build necessary upgrades (such as resource storage upgrades).

Please check out the forum we have sent up in the embassy. (Click on the embassy and then "to alliance")

I have stupid amount of resources - 1k of wood and clay (typed caly the first time round) and 900 iron and 600 wheat (something I use to trade)

double post: invite me quickly, I will fund a whole level of embassy for you.

Sent 200 food because you have such a low grain production.

I should be raiding 'grays' ? ... The first time I raided a 3 score gray, I lost 4 out of my 5 farmers... Guess I need Infantry, but it costs an arm and a leg for the academy + research + the cost of the units.

at first I send like 3 archers = 1 die. now I have 21 archers. they all live and loot over 1k resource every 34 mins. about 250 of each.

PK do you have a market set up yet? If so, send me some resources to upgrade the embassy.

I should be able to invite you on the next upgrade.

I don't think I can send you resource because I am not in your alliance.

You can send resources to anyone if you have a market place. At least that's how I think it works.

Have you tried sending anything to me?

yup. but doesn't work (only have like 400 wood and some wheat left) - it actually says you can only send to your own villages and alliance member

No sweat, I'll add you in the next upgrade.

Bart, offer 1 iron for 400 wood in the market (nobody will take that :o) and let him send it to you that way.

can't go above 1:3

oh well

LOL, Nice try though!

You have to upgrade the market to increase the ratios and it's not worth the resources to do it right now.

Please review the following thread regarding all things Wild Guns:

Click Here

please check the alliance forum when you are free.....

Got it, sent you a response......

Looks like I'll be able to upgrade the embassy to level 6 later this evening. That's 2 embassy upgrades in one day!!!

Keep the resources coming and we'll be the biggest, baddest alliance in WG!!!

i sent 200 wood i think, but you are so far away from me that it takes like 4 hours or so to get there.. it will be there later tonight :)

Thanks, every little bit counts.

FYI, I purchased a bunch of nuggets so i can 1 for 1 trade the resources to whatever i need for the upgrade so send whatever you can and I'll make the adjustments.

I just checked the wagon status. It'll be at my place in 1 hour 45 minutes. I also checked resources and saw that I will be able to upgrade when it arrives.

Keep up the donations guys, it's working!!!

ok. i guess i'm ready to join the affiliation.
will ye have me?
i'm j'bob at 165 / 183 (Buddy Lee's Town of Action)

I've got so far
Wood 279 (+60) | Clay 365 (+67) | Rock 257 (+52) | Wheat 751 (+37)
It should increase a bit over night.
All 6 farms are level 3
Clay is 3x3, 1x2
Forest is 2x3, 2x2
Rock is 1x3, 3x2
I've got 7 Ponchos and just built my embassy
What now? eh, gringos? :D

I'll need to invite you to the alliance first. Just continue to work on building your resources and I'll add you as soon as I can.

I already have 3 invites for the next upgrade. You'll be on the upgrade after that.

Man, this thread is bouncin'.

I wish I had enough time to take over the site with you guys.

Good luck! ;)

i still got room in my alliance if anyone want to join

Player Nam: LittleAnthony. Invite me, i don't know what to do yet.

Thats alright m8 - nor do I and I been playing for 6 days :)

Hey... about deifelns idea to get everybody in 1 alliance as soon as possible... Bartman said "I am going to prioritize the invite list based on who sends resources."

I'm in AoDs alliance, so I can't send resources to Bartman. What should we do? Or are we just last in line to join Carnage 1? Upgrading this alliance even more doesn't sound like a good idea now, so me and the other seven [CB2]-members are just upgrading their villages as much as we can.

By the way, I absolutely love the big hideout cowboys have. =)

Add me to the list to be included now that I've built up a little more

what i have to do when i am lack "resources" to expand? Wait?

Yup. The numbers next to your resources show your refresh rate per hour. e.g. (+45)

LA. that means that you dont' have enough extra wheat to expand. you need more wheat farms.

so far i've got:
all wood cutters at 2
all clay pits at 2
2 lvl 2 and 2 lvl 1 iron mines
5 lvl 2 farms and 1 lvl 4 farm
lvl 5 main building
a storage shed, hideout, barracks, silo, and academy all lvl 1

let me know if you need anything

edyit you might wanna start building some military.

edyit, what is your game name?

Added invites to:
Chuck1234
Painkiller
J'Bob

Looks like another upgrade sometime this afternoon.

Here are the resources I need for the next embassy upgrade:
Wood 790 | Clay 570 | Stone 660 | Wheat 350

Keep the resources coming and we'll be able to add more players.

sent 400 of each

got 4 invites left and im currently upgrading to lvl 6 so gone have more room in an hour

i'm getting a headache just from reading the activity going on... lol, you guys are already going to dominate, so i think we can all take a deep breath and slow down :)

don't worry about merging the alliances yet... just get everyone in one of the alliances, then we can decide how many alliances to maintain

i dont see the point in all getting in the same alliance, yes we cant transfer resources to everyone but 2 alliances in the top 3 will be bigger then only 1 on the nr 1 spot, i rather attack an alliance with 2 diffrent alliance then 1 alliance, its more a strategic move, that way they have split up and pick 1 alliance and the other alliance can raid all the way

I think AoD has a pretty good point. Maybe 2 separate but allied alliances is the way to go.

btw we can still send stuff to eachoter trough mp if bartman or i need resources we put in 1 wood clay iron or food in it and ask 200 of what we need, that way we can get the stuff we need
for everything there is an solution (exept me disbanding my alliance)

Been spending a lot of time on MagicDuel.com. Came back here and saw this. I'll give it a try.

"i dont see the point in all getting in the same alliance, yes we cant transfer resources to everyone but 2 alliances in the top 3 will be bigger then only 1 on the nr 1 spot,"


OK, so explain again why it is better for us to be in 2nd and 3rd than to decisively own 1st?

ooty, why can't we take the gold and silver and leave the bronze for someone else! Raise that bar up a bit mister!

Using this as an opportunity to ask if any of our members want to have the title of diplomat. If we get attacked by another alliance before all out war (costly for both) we need to talk with that alliance and, depending on their size, perhaps agree upon a non-aggression treaty.

Any volunteers message bartman or myself and we will change your title. I would suggest G_Beee but I dont think the other alliance would understand his accent :).

I would be no good either as they would tell straight away that I'm drunk.

I finally got an embassy and marketplace.

If anyone has spare resources, they would help a lot.

User name: Fortunatto.

Ranger Roost (194 / 317)

Thanks

Freed, I can help with that if no one else wants to step up... ^_^

Well thats one - I think we need another in a different timezone from Hakai - anyone from Europe wanna volunteer ?

Or even from Scotland :)

got the academy up today, building nothing from here out but soldiers and farms to feed them :)

has anyone discovered if upgrading the embassy allows new members for the alliance that you're a member of, or is it only useful if you're the owner of the alliance? i should just leave my embassy at level 1?

i never said 2 and 3th place, 1 should be first the other 1 should be second or thirth
upgrading to lvl 7 embassy, 10 places free atm

Ranger: Get into C1 and I'll send.

Levon: Leave as lvl1

To end this split decision. Since AoD has invested heavily into his alliance, his should be open to all WG. While C1 reminds CB only.

Running for my life in Manchester Freed (no joke), no time for diplomacy...

Anyone been attacked yet? What do your armies look like?

Also, I've got my embassy up, finally~

I'm saying 2nd and 3rd because that's far ahead of the position we are in now. If we were to continue to split members between alliances, we simply end up with lower scores than the other clans - whereas if we had one alliance with as many members as we have, we'd easily take first.

Fact is, 1st and 2nd isn't even a possibility. 2nd and 3rd is a stretch. But #1 with one clan? Easily doable.

Level 7 embassy now.

Sent invites to
Edyit
Ranger
Daz

I've got about 10 more players that I know of who still need invites. If you haven't sent me a message,either CM or in WG, please do so and I will add your name to the list

Next level embassy will need the following resources:

Wood 1015 | Clay 730 | Stone 845 | Wheat 450

I've got good production on stone and clay but need wood and wheat.

Everyone has done a great job sending resources. We need to keep it up until everyone is in the alliance.

Just started the tutorial

Cosmos Canyon Bartz Town 15.05.08 08:28 4:08:46 250 Food

Damn. You're so far away...

@ OB - Fighting for #1 may be doable for now as we have ~45-50 members ready to join our alliance. But down the road, other alliances will be sending out invites to every player that's available. If we stay a CB only alliance we'll be at a large disadvantage as we have a largely limited number of players to ally with.

you want all members in 1 alliance, fine add all my former members, they all out of my alliance

I am in the alliance.

I'm Khardin at 87/230.

I haven't built an embassy yet. Probably at the end of my premium acct/resource boost.

I finished the tutorial and am trying to up resources while I have the boost. Farmers suck for raiding but the whole self-feeding defense thing/double size hideout is alright. I need to get food and infantry I guess.

I'm trying Indians and Mexicans on server 3 and server 6 and also made an account on Travian com2, which is (apparently) where they copied the ideas from.

Hmmmmm... looks like there are lots of new players setting up their villages just a space away from mine...

I guess I'm going to have quite speedy, bountiful raids a week from now.

Well, AoD decided to kick us all out of his alliance...

so that means me (AKA Sergeant Bromsnor), ColonelCustard, HenkBres, Levon, LightningRaider, (CB1)DeFiAnT and someone who I can't seem to think of right now are looking to join Carnage 1. I just sent Bartman a message in-game.

My protection is going to run out tonight though, so I hope I'll be safe. :)

I'm very uncertain here, but AoD there was no need to do that, people were just discussing it.. some people thought 2 allicances was a good idea and others didnt'. I don't think that should have meant for you to just kick people that obviously wanted to be there.. but oh well. since you already did it.

Multi alliances work very well - I dont see why AoD kicked you out though guys - we now more urgently than ever need to get the embassy upped. I am forgoing any training to try and send as much stuff to Bartman as possible.

The other alternative is to rejoin the other alliance as Sox said we were only discussing, AoD not requesting you disband. I am not sure what the limit per embassy is but I think if another village is formed by Bartman you could increase by upping the embassy there - what do others think ?

Bartman - make sure your 2 stores are big enough to cope with the extra materials you may be sent.

Im 3 ponchos away from being done with the tutorial and then its embassy/raid time. If someone wants to bid on my 50 grain for 150 wood, thatd sure help me out :O)

Not sure why AoD did that either. I never mentioned anything either way about single or multi alliances. I've just been concentrating on building to get as many people in as possible.

Just upgraded the embassy and sent invites for the following:
ActionAction
ColonelCustard
HenkBres

To be fair to everyone, I'm going to do the invites based on the largest players first. This should do 2 things.

1) It'll encourage players to grow quickly

2) larger players can send more resources to help upgrade the embassy more quickly and allowing us to add more players to the alliance quicker.

Embassy is at level 8. Here are the resources needed for level 9:

Wood 1295 | Clay 935 | Stone 1080 | Wheat 575

Keep those resources coming! We need to add a bunch more players!

I will see what I can do.

sent 500 clay and 500 wheat.

I found this clan:
52 CrimsonTimson [C.B] Crimson Braves 89 1
is crimson braves related to us or is he a fair target. I say we declare war on him.

i shouldnt of done that? everyone said that there should be 1 alliance well exept bob and the ppl that were in my alliance, you all were saying AoD should disband when the embassy was high enough well to bad i done it before so be happy and hush

Hey I never said you should disband. You asked us what we would do if we were asked to join the other alliance. I replied that I'd go, because it seems a lot easier to me to get resource chains going, and there's less of a hassle when it comes to wars and such.

Nobody in your alliance said you should disband. I can't read back though, but I remember someone saying that if you were to disband, you would be given resources to compensate for your losses.

That's not the same as "Dismiss all your members." I'd hush if you weren't putting the blame on us, the people you just let down.

He said "exept bob and the ppl that were in my alliance". He did notice the support from that side. Now, its been done. No need carry this any further.

Ooops, you're right Draugluin, I misread :S

I'm sorry AoD, I guess I jumped to conclusions too quickly. My apologies..

How are we doing for troops ?

All well and good producing lots of materials but not good if we can't defend them. Personally I have only 3 base class defenders so I'm a pushover if attacked.

Bartman, what's your priority for raw materials? I've got a mill in place, should I now focus on other raw materials or defence.
Do we actively intend protecting what we've got - or taking what we want from others ?

Might be fun to be an offensive alliance in order to smash the opposition. We're all too nice too often on CB :)

Suggestion for whoever owns the Google spreadsheet. Maybe add each member on their own line and assign x axis items for each production type, troop levels, etc. That way this kind of stuff is easy to track. Just a suggestion, I'm not even a member yet. :O)

To answer the troop question I did have 6 troops but they were all killed by 75 Indians - how does someone get that many so quickly I cant see how.

So far I have 15 troops is all, but if we decide to go on the offensive I can easily get more

Well my embassy is done... and soon I will start building Farmers so I will have some spare resources... Trying to build up more Resources before I leave protection anyways so I can quick build anything I may need

i'm out of protection today but i'm guessing i'm not one of the larger producers to warrant an invite yet? my resources should all be around level 3 soon, but i do have a decent hideout so i shouldn't lose many resources if attacked.... if that helps you determine priority

So what has been the general strategy coming out of the tutorial? Its been mentioned (and what I did) to up all of your resources to +2 and all your farms to +3.

What after that?
Obviously an embassy right? My thought was to create an additional 8 Ponchos (plus the 5 from the tutorial) to raid other inactive, unguarded (3 point) villages. What did you guys that are further along do.

PS, I've still got 3 days of protection.

Freed, the indian attackers are really cheap, I have 20 and planning on 50, but the prime attackers of indians don't defend, I have to build special troops for defending. So most indian villages are wide open for attack.

And Im constantly attacking those grey villages in my surroundings, gathering lots of resources :)
Ow and thanks for the invite.

If you're going raiding then I'd think perhaps upgrading your main building to lvl 5 and adding an academy in order to train different style troops may be a good idea.

I went raiding with Poncho's and lost more resources (dead Poncho's) than I gained from my targets.

Indians got attack bonus :) Those archers have 45 attack power :)

Tez: I've been raiding like mad. I'd raid the nearest villages possible while I was on, and then further ones if I knew I was going to be gone for hours (so as not to empty out the easy, closer targets unnecessarily). Raiding with about 20 archers or so is an excellent way to get resources. I do not know about ponchos, though.

Also, I've been upping my resources differently than others seem to have been. I do not up all my farms to level 3, then all to level 4. Rather, I up my highest one if possible, because one farm going from level 4 to 5 raises production by 11, while 3 to 4 only raises it by 8, or something. And, once you have a level 5 farm, you can get a mill, and it would take forever to get 7 farms to level 5 in order to get that going. Same with the brickworks, etc, which require a level 10 resource.

I noticed something today.

When I started, I had 0 grey towns around me. Now when I checked there are 7.

I guess the program makes some towns just pop up out of nowwhere, great for the game though.

The grey towns are locations created by users and then abandoned. i.e. not logged in for a few days.

those grey places are people that arent under the protection anymore little beee dude

No, G_Beee is correct, they're bandit towns.

then take a look at the pink and the grey, grey isnt under protection and the pink are

*sigh* One of the mods over there answers the question 7 posts down. Linky

Has anyone figured out how in the hell the score works? ... Is it even needed? Is it like a power rating or what?

Its your food consumption minus troops built from what I understand. So I guess its kinda like a PR :O)

food consumption - troops = food consumption from building, right?

That's kind of retarded... A farmer counts the same as a soldier? ... Right. I should just make like 5000500500 farmers. They have pretty good defense. We'll have the top score in no time.

Just upgraded the embassy again.

Here are the resources required for the next upgrade: (level 10)

Wood 1660 | Clay 1200 | Stone 1385 | Food 740

I had to increase my storage for raw materials to level 3 to accommodate the increased materials requirement.

Keep the resources coming! :) I see a wagon on the horizon, headed to my fort to help upgrade the embassy and increase our alliance!

Just checked the top scores. Our alliance will take over the top spot when the next three players join the alliance!!

Great job everyone!!

"That's kind of retarded... A farmer counts the same as a soldier? ... Right. I should just make like 5000500500 farmers. They have pretty good defense. We'll have the top score in no time."

That would not increase your score at all. Score is based on food consumption by your buildings/mines. Farmers, soldiers, units do not contribute to score. Units will contribute to offensive/defensive score, but once again farmers do not contribute to either, despite the fact that they do provide defense.

I currently have 77 score. Do I need an embassy to join this alliance?

How is everyone's score so high?

I think they all have a couple days head start on us. That, and once you get through the tutorial, you have a bonus for a week, which lets you build faster.

Rocket, yes you need an embassy.

I'll add you to the list.

Added wood/clay/iron/grain production columns to the spreadsheet.

Also, anyone and everyone is able to edit the spreadsheet now. If you want, put your own production rates in. I trust that it won't be sabotaged.

I am Darmichar at 192, 281.
Just started tonight so it may be a while before I can provide any assistance.

I'm producing a single less clay and food than I should be. Anyone else seeing production discrepancies?

lol 400+ posts.... and i still aint playing this game =x

Anyone else having a problem raiding? I'm getting a server error.


CB2 and WG both with errors, how frustrating! -.-

i think the errors are just you. I am doing fine! :)

Yeah, it has resolved itself by now, just for like...10 minutes there I was getting annoyed with the server errors.

Some of you are really lucky if you have bandit towns right next to you. Closest one to me is a 30 minute travel time one way!

do the different defense ratings of the races impact raids on NPCs?

I don't think it does, you just have to have enough Offense to do anything else you get bounced.

Dang sorry for double post.

Only if the NPC has built up Ramparts or Troops.
Otherwise no.

there are bandits all around me, but I don't have any offensive troops and not enough resources to learn soldiers...

Hey Bartman:

Please don't forget me for the alliance.

Thanks!!

No worries, I've got you on the list.

here's a CB2/wildguns interaction first: missed a botcheck coz i clicked on cb2 n switched onto wildguns n got stuck there, lotsa minutes l84 returned to cb2 to find i'm lockd out for an hour lol; first time its happened, tho i m sure its not the last ;)

OK, bit of trivia for you. Who has the longest wagon train sending resources to me for the embassy upgrades?

I'll give you a clue. If your delay time is less than 10 hours, it's not you.

Guesses anyone?

Hey bartman, any way for me to send you resources to build your embassy even though I'm not in the alliance yet?

Nope! But you CAN join the alliance and send resources! I just sent you an invite. :)

Just upgraded the embassy again.

Here are the resources needed for the next embassy upgrade: (level 11)

Wood 2125 | Clay 1535 | Stone 1770 | Food 945

Keep the resources coming! I've still got 15 more players we need to add to the alliance!

Wow, thanks! =D

Do you need any food? I'm a little low on the other resources :-\

Send what you can, every little but helps!

Check the alliance forums when you get the chance. the attacks thread is pretty busy.

Bartman please send me an alliance invite.

this game is just like tribal wars we should form an alliance there as well

Played Tribal Wars and quit after my 4th takeover. Not going back ty.

Bart. I just sent you everything I had sitting around before going out. Hope it helps.

Bartman, you live on the dark side of the moon.

I need to get my guy one of those "Jet-Man" wing sets...

anyone else who is a cowboy want to tell me how i can train anything besides farmers? i have a lvl2 barracks and a lvl3 academy and it wont give me the option to train anything but farmers

You'll need to research them at the academy if it's anything like Mexicans. Also, you may find you need your academy level increased to lvl 5 before you can train others...

Need to research in academy, not just upgrade academy

thanks i'll try that now :-)

go edyit :)

Wood 2720 | Clay 1965 | Stone 2265 | Food 1210

As you can see, the resource requirements continue to climb. Keep the resources coming!!

I finally took the time to map all the resources than have been sent. Congrats go out to the top 5 contributors:


Name____Total resources donated
Painkiller - 2600
Hakai - 2000
Spydah - 1600
J'Bob - 1400
SittingBullet - 1300

I've got another list of 10 alliance members who have not donated anything to assist our cause. I'm hesitant to send out the list but I encourage everyone to send what they can to help out.

Some players have only donated 100-400 in resources. That's OK because I know all are trying to build resources as well and they gave what they could afford. Even small donations add up quickly if everyone is helping out.

I also know resources have been sent to assist other to build defenses against attacks and raids. We need to keep this up as well if we are truly going ot dominate this game.

I don't want to sound like a televangelist but..... give til it hurts!!! LOL

Thanks again for everyones support! :)

The "Warriorz Of Justice" alliance seems to have a higher percentage of players who are stronger than us.

We're in trouble if they decide to pay us a little visit.

ive sent 500 wood and clay, can't spare any food or iron at the moment. Research is expensive on the iron :(

I've finally started raiding and will be donating more soon.

Same here, I just figured out how to get other units than farmers (just like edyit), been saving up resources to get the research done. Tomorrow I'll be able to build some units and I'll go raid, which in turn will get me resources to donate.

Found just out that 14 first Top Players are all Indians.

Hey, I'm a cowboy and closing those ranks up. Just 3 days ago wasn't in the top 100. And don't fret it too much. Mexican troops are expensive, and Cowboys will eventually catch up to the Indians.

At least one of those guys up top will get totally PWNed later anyways, as I am saving up troops to make a big hit.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone at having missed the significance of the benefits gained by using nuggets.

If you can afford to purchase them then I'd recommend you do so and take advantage of the 1:1 merchant and immediate updates. It really does speed things along.

Thanks for taking the time out to explain that to me Hakai. It eventually got through... :)

700 620 1480 580 for training rifleman. Just the research.

Has anyone researched them? That is a ton of resources just to be able to make a defensive unit. Is it worth it, or should I upgarde to get the ability to research better unit and stay with archers for now?

Personally, I've just been upgrading my Rampart and hideyhole for defensive measures.

I'm far more interested in getting blunderbusses and fire arrows.

I sort of thought that OB. I do like Mounted Archers also. Level 5 Academy needed.

wow? Cowboys have to have a Level 5 Academy just to get Soldiers! Who have good Attack/Defense/Carry numbers.
It's all I'm training now, up to about 25 of them. The 12 farmers stay home, since their carry is useless.
And Soldiers is good enough for now and a while to go. So I'm just building up my Resource pits and attacking.

Mikel, soldiers can be trained at lvl1 academy...
However, cowboys need lvl5 academy to research cowboys.
Additionally, lvl5 barracks is needed to "unlock" stables.

Finally finished tutorial and have setup the marketplace. Going to setup the embassy and send some resources when I come on next time. Where should the resources go to?

uhm I don't plan to use cowboys as one of my troopers. I was simply referring to the race. But thanks :)

Resources incoming... in about 3 hours or so. :P

570 clay, 200 iron and 200 food coming your way Bart. And it only takes about 90 minutes, yay! :P

WoJ is upping its entrance requirements in order to keep up with us :P. I doubt we're going to remain in close contention for a very long period of time, as they're drawing from all of S4 :(.

But hey, we have the bonus of all knowing each other :).

I have sent 200 iron and 200 food. Keep upping that embassy! =D

I realised a moment ago a thing that scared me. The cowboys will eventualy rule everything. :-\ Their sniper are the by far best attacker compared to food usage. It will own everything.

Yeah but I suspect the sniper will be very expensive to research and to build.
By then more the Indians have more then plenty of smaller, cheaper attackers.
What they can't do by power they can do by numbers :P

Ow and there defense isn't that good.

the sniper unit isn't that hard to research or to train. it only costs about 1.5 times a soldier and is a more effective attacker. against Indians if a cowboy has an upgraded rampart and a decent number of farmers with defense upgrades then they can basically take on any other unit and if not win inflict massive losses.

Yeah the indians can compensate with numbers. But the food usage will be a huge problem for the indians, the cowboys will have almost double the attack power with the same food usage. That's what will tip the favour to the cowboys.

Got this from a non-alliance guy, won't say who. Much praise onto him. :) Hopefully none from them will see this then feel betrayed as I respected Rexor, Bardogan, and the one who relayed this message to me, the most in WoJ.


Well... We are going to make a new alliance today, because we all thought chrisgala was a bad leader and to childish... so today we will have a new alliance so I ask you if you want to join us then... because then you are choosing right side... but you do what you want to do... but if you want to join our new alliance so message me and I<Rexor> or Bardogan will invite you...

I'm getting close to another upgrade but still need some help to make it happen today.

Thanks to all who have been donating regularly to the alliance. Hopefully , a few more upgrade will allow all our members into the alliance.

I've had a request from one of the top players in another alliance ask to join ours. Seems theirs is not working together and their leader may be inactive. Its the United Nations clan.

Funny how both other clans in the top 3 are having problems....

Glad ours is active and working together.

So... will you join them? Or maybe we can ally with new alliance?

I can't send any resources because I'm not in the alliance yet. Can Bartman send an invitation? I can spare quite a bit of resources, probably 500 of each.

800 Iron coming in about 5 hours.

Not leaving and hate you for asking!
Should make ally with them.

Apparently I can't send any resources is because my merchant is still not back in the village. It will be back in another 9 hours or so... Will send some resources when it comes back (hopefully there will still be resources ;)

Yeah, I've got a grip of food I could send as well, but I'm not a member either. Building up a small force and raiding pays huge dividends and really speeds up the ol village growth!

Sent more, Barty.

I think I will quit as there is no nub to let me catch up to all the players that started before me. That is grossly unfair as I have no way to beat them, like new players here can surpass me. Time and effort should mean nothing in every game just like in CB! j/k of course. but the gist of the post still stands.

Ranger, you can buy nuggets; since most of the others don't purchase them, you'll be with a virtual NUB for as long as you keep paying....

A message/request from Rexoz:


chrisgala is not a good leader... happy do your alliance want to be allied with our...?


He would like to ally his alliance with us. What say you people?

We are a CB alliance.

CB2 will take over. We need no help!!

That is my opinion.

Of course he wants to ally with us. Who wouldn't?

For me we should stay as a CB only alliance for the time being because it suits us today. I'm also happy to be passive for the meantime.

btw, I'm conscious of the fact that my contribution to the alliance (i.e. Bartman) has been only about 400 or so raw materials with many people having contributed much more.
I'd be happy to try and "formalise" the contribution based on score. We need to get our waiting list down to zero.

Also, any of our members not wanting to keep playing, please let Bartman know so that he can remove you (no need to keep the dead wood), but also so that we can raid you for your materials if you haven't gotten as far as a market place yet. Obviously if you have a market please send your material to Bartman.

They just want to keep us at bay, they're afraid. If you can't beat them, join 'm.

I'd say just let them be afraid, if we don't ally with them, we won't lose the right to attack them :P

Eventually we will have to ally with someone as other alliances will ally (again this happened in Travian) we can only grow so big as we have a limited number of members (50 or so ?).

Not saying we have to do it now but dont discount alliances with other non CB groups - or even a non-agression treaty.

I feel that we don't need to ally him. Instead signing a NAP (non aggression pact) would be a much better idea. If they breaks the NAP without a war declaration of any sort people will know they can't be trusted (one alliance on Travian could have won the game if they haden't broke a NAP), and those guys know that.

So no, not a alliance, but a NAP. Just to be sure they don't attack us. Because if they attack us we will have to attack them back. And now in the beginning we don't want a war, we want to grow! Later on when we can take over villages SURE, a war is just what we want. But only because it will help us grow faster. For now, peace is the way to go, but binding us with them with a ally is just stupid.

^many words without really meaning anything, I just wrote what was in my head^

Ranger, train some troops and start raiding bandits, you'll grow fast as heck.
I got super lucky now, the town right next to me has become a bandit, woo hoo, 10 minute raids!

Once you get some troops going, you'll fly up the charts.

Killerz Of Revenge? Ugh, that's nasty. If they had taste I'd push ally.

NAP wouldn't make such impact as in Travian. No one on WG cares. Their name doesn't offer trust. Best dealings would be allied war with WoJ, which may be pointless for a month.

It costs me 2,580 resources just to research a Mexican that I can use for offense at the academy, plus another 580 to actually create one. That's a heck of a lot of resources required to put together a suitable squad of Mariachi to raid the greys.

I intend to carry on pumping my raw material production unless someone else out there has a wonderful strat for Mexicans that I've missed.

bee if the mexican is anything like the cowboys, then yeah. you have to find a unit that has a better attack. then save and research then slowly build up your base of units to attack. I had to do the same thing and now I have 12 farmers that stay in my village getting extra resources and 30 of the soldiers that actually raid. I am finally doing well. It just took a long time to get here.

I am the same as G_Beee I have no army atm. Just trying to get the levels of my camp up.

Mexicans can train up about 15-20 ponchos and raid the bandit's with those. I have a Mexican on server 2. Once I got some ponchos, My growth really shot up, but I agree, their units are the most expensive.

ok. can you play on another server with the same e-mail or do i have to use a different e-mail?

Here are the resources needed for the next upgrade (Level 13:

Wood 3480 | Clay 2515 | Stone 2900 | Food 1545

The resources have picked up. I thank everyone for their efforts!! Keep it up and we'll have everyone in the alliance in less than a week!

I am playing on server 4 PotatoHead is me name there as well. Co-or: Purgatory (299 / 239)

I will send 250 of each resource each day, should hopefully help to increase our embassy level a little quicker.

Every bit definitely helps. With the number of folks we have in the alliance now, there's no reason it should take longer than a day to upgrade.

question: how do i start to make troop? how to send raw materials?

to make troops, you need barracks. To send materials, you need a market.

150 of each resource sent. 5 hour travel time.

lol the town next door to me is the leader of some mexican alliance

Sigh. I tried to add myself but it apparently didn't take quite right. On the plus side, I don't think I messed anything up! :)
I'm at 165 / 183
and my resource production is currently at;
Wood (+108) | Clay (+94) | Iron (+84) | Food (+53)

Fixed formatting j'bob.

How many more levels on the embassy do we need Bart?

Just sent 250 each of wood, iron and clay. About 4 hours until it arrives.

finally completed the tutorial! woohoo! lol hopefully noone would attack me when i get out of protection..

now to build an embassy and a marketplace...

I tried sending resources but was not able to do so. How should it be done? I've got 2 merchants free and a marketplace as well but nothing happened when I clicked ok for sending resources to Bartman.

Yeah, 15 ponchos will work wonderfully for raids. I've shot up about 500 places in the rankings today :O)

Kong, you can't send resources until you are in the alliance. Just build your resources until I can get you in. The higher your score the better your resources.

Looks like at least 4 more. 4 will get the current list but I just added Kong Ming and {CB1}[umk]Fangs so that will be 5 more levels.

I just sent 150 more of each.

can i double check with everybody......which is better upgrading all the resource lvl by lvl or just concentrate on 1......ie.... 3 lvl 3 clay pits and 1 lvl 5 clay pits and just keep on upgrading the higher lvl pit.....or just upgrade all evenly?

By the resources spent and the production numbers, I'd say even is the way to go. However, it also seems that the production numbers may not be what they seem, so I'd hold the judgement.

to start out with you need more clay than anything else, but it levels out a bit more later when you are building a greater variety of structures.

On a side note, Carnage 1 Alliance is now the #1 alliance by well over 500 score!! WEWT


...and I have 50 archers, halfway towards my army goal before building firebombers!

I think upgrading all equally is better. As you get higher, it gets more expensive, and you waste a lot of time waiting to upgrade 1 level, when you could upgrade the others and earn much more resources.

Will sending more troops for raiding reduce the chances of losing units? I send 6 yesterday and lost one unit during the raid.

yes kong. i definately send more troops and lower the likely hood of losing any. I still lose 1 every now and then and I'm sending 30 soldiers now.

Do you target only bandits size 3 towns or all bandits whatever the size, Sox?

i would like to join, but how do i butt it out, do i skrew up the forums or sumthin?

oh wait, i see. i just started and goin great

hey folks, have any of you ever tried out the combat simulator?

Not to interrupt the flow of raid talk, but what's everyone's resources look like? Have you bought the 5%/upgrade resource buildings yet?

Also, does anyone know how one would calculate the maximum amount of resources one could send using "Send raw materials"?

and what building might that be?

Getting attacked. Sent Bart all of my stuff instead of losing it completely.

build a hide out, then they cant steal your stuff

I have one, It was just an excuse to send that stuff over...

AA, I have a mill at lvl 2 right now, and the increase wasn't that noticible, to be honest. Though, as we all know, the food rate constantly decreases, so.... I'm sure the other buildings will show more of an impact on the number increases. I have not yet gotten any of the other 5% increase buildings. My farms are not that high yet. At the moment, my farm levels are at the following:

Wood Farms: 1 lvl 6, 1 lvl 4, 2 lvl 3
Iron: 1 lvl 4, 3 lvl 3
Clay: 1 lvl 7, 1 lvl 5, 2 lvl 4
Food: 1 lvl 7, 1 lvl 5, 4 lvl 4

That brings my total to:

Holz 1013 (+127) | Clay 1915 (+188) | Iron 648 (+84) | Food 1460 (+30) Food consumption 235/265 Zustimmung 100%



I am pleased, however to say, this morning I just finished making my cannon foundry and last night I researched my fire fiends, so I am ready to start training some.

How many does everyone think I need?


Also, in regards to your question about max resources, AA, I am pretty sure 1 merchant can carry up to 1000 resources. However, please do not quote me on that ^_^.

(takes a breath)

The guy has now attacked me 3 times. The resources he has gained? 0, 0, 0, 0. He killed 10 whole archers, which is fine, because it put my food production up...

Daz, who is attacking you? We'll demolish him...I'll break his stupid ramparts with my fire fiends...

We need to make a retaliation list...

Yeah, tell us who to hit, I've got 50 archers just waiting...

Aside from the food, what causes the production number on the other stuff to go down?

I've noticed that Indians need a lot of wood to produce units.

j'bob - premium account running out, probably.

ahhh the end of the bonus, thats right, thanks ob!

say if your attacking someone we can poss arange to arrive at the same time do a joint attack

i'm playing, blarg, 159/102

Player: Wenca
Village: Inchuchuna main 139|244

I'm not really concerned. He didn't get anything...


The battle log thing is a little bit confusing:

Raid on Wenca by No mans land (139|241)
Wenca attacks No mans land (139|241)
Raid on Wenca by No mans land (139|241)

Entries One and Three look like *I* attacked *them*, but then when I go into the report, I'm the defender. They might need to fix that?

What did he attack with and what were his losses? He's very close to me and I can go after him.

Finally got my embassy up. Tutorial isn't done yet, hoping to get a buttload of production more first. Could I be on that list then, Bartman? (+75)(+75)(+59)(+51) when the embassy finishes construction

Just upgraded the embassy again (level 13):

Sent invites to:
(CB1) DeFiAnT
Aeris
Hzarb
Mastodont (

Not sure why I got 4 invites but I'll check it against the next upgrade.

Here are the resources needed for the next upgrade: (Level 14):

Wood 4455 | Clay 3220 | Stone 3715 | Food 1980


Thanks to all who are donating resources. The numbers we have now are definitely helping to keep the upgrades consistent.

Just sent 100 of each resource.

you had one left from the previous level :)

LOL, I'm hoping that it's because I get 4 invites per level past a certain point. The next upgrade will let us know for sure.

Anyone have an idea who Nerdrage is? He posted a message in the forum Spydah set up on his server for WG. Can't find him in either CB or WG.

Wasn't Spydah's forum, it was on WG Bartman.

where is spydah's forum so we can continue there instead posting here?

Oops! My bad! LOL, Still would like to know who this guy is though!

I found him. His WG name is:

Nerdrage (CB ROCKS)

Sent him a CM asking what his CB name is.

You mean this Nerdrage ?

OB, 6white9 sent 30 ponchos to me and I killed all but 2 with 5 farmers, 10 soldiers, and 10 snipers. Lost a farmer and soldier with level 3 rampart. Watch out when sending large groups of basic units.

Thanks Lameness, Not sure why his name wasn't coming up.

Let me know when you can add me : LittleAnthonys village (251 / 159)

He had 30 ish archers in each attack.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but is it just me or is it odd that Nerdrage just signed up for CB... spy perhaps?

lol... go easy on them

I currently still have the bonus production. Should I increase my troops first or raise my raw material production?

I currently have:
farm - lvl 3x6 (+32)
woodcutter - lvl 3x2, lvl 2x2 (+60)
clay pit - lvl 3x3, lvl 2x1 (+67)
iron mine - lvl 3x2, lvl 2x2 (+60)

Heh, Xenko, I don't care if he signed up as a spy or not - if it is bringing new players to the game, it is a good thing

*puts on his Aluminum foil hat*

They won't control me... I won't let them!

Fangs, raise production first.

I'm going to be training Snipers real soon, and just built my stables, then I can research Trappers (spies).

Boo_Bears village (295 / 158)
i dont even know how to play. any tips? like how do i get an alliance? :)))

To join an alliance, you must have a level 1 embassy at least, and have the alliance leader of the alliance to send you an invitation. You kind of need clay more than anything else at the start, and grain always has to be balanced against the other resources.

Is there any way to give troops to an ally?

Ranger, you could always elect a leader for your village that promises to help allying nations, but he would likely in turn attempt to dupe the whole world into fighting his daddy's war...

If you click on the village of an ally on the world map, you can click "send troops" and then select the type "back up". I have no idea how long the troops are going to stay there and how it works with food consumption though.

normally the troops stay there forever or till they die

"normally the troops stay there forever or till they die "

and then they go to your town? :D

To answer someone's question from earlier, I have gotten the first 5% boost building, which is the Mill. I've upgraded it to level 4, so it gives me 20% extra food production. I would say it is extremely beneficial, although it costs quite a bit of food to build and to upgrade (it basically requires me to up my grain storage capacity in my granary every time just so I can hold enough grain before the upgrade).

However, my food consumption is at 200/241 right now. Counting just my farms, I have 2 level 6s, one level 5, and 3 level 4s, which comes out to 201 grain production. This means that I'm getting 40 extra grain production per hour thanks to my mill.

From an economic point of view, I think I've still spent more grain on mill upgrades than I've gained from the increased production, but short-term loss is the first step in a good investment. And yesterday I was at -8 grain per hour, so the mill upgrade has done me good.

I'm building my embassy now and just finished the tutorial, wew

anyone using cowboys are they worth it

I'm using Cowboys. The top scores show that Indians are the best for quick growth but we'll have to see what the long term growth is for the others.

My char is the second highest cowboy in the top 50 but my growth has been stunted by concentrating on embassy upgrades. Once we have everyone in the alliance, we'll see how fast, or slow, I can climb the ranks. I was consistently in the top 3 before I started the alliance.
