I would have hit your dwarf war but hes a bit too far from me too.

I just got hit by someone at 170,000nw. what a *****. i only attack people with greater nw than me.

He probably used UtopiaTemple's Target finder. You do appear a bit landfat...
Try maintaining a NW/acre-ratio of 130-160 gc.

yeah...makeo i got nailed by a guy who was way bigger than me too...jackals

[Makeo]

we've been at war for the past four or five days. they suck. this is the first war were we have been really successful. my nw has gone up about 30000 over the duration of the war.

I have reflect magic on almost constantly. its fun watching their spells bounce back.

yeah, especially Tornadoes, Meteor Showers and Fireball.
I just got 30 hours of Reflect Magic for free from Swirve

[War4ever]

what is reflect magic????? i want some...i continously cast spells to protect myself but i have never seen this reflect magic before

[Makeo]

why did they give you reflect magic??

Reflect magic is a spell you can cast to give you a chance or reflecting spells cast on your province back on your enemy.

It must be race specific.

[War4ever]

it is race specific not for elves though

I always get something for free every couple of days (land, food, runes, money or spells) and I get 5 acres per day for free, and all of this because I signed up for the Swirve e-mail account

I just found another gold mine

Don't worry, you got a lot of honor with the kidnapping, and he'll have plenty of money for the time being:

I just noticed that I was with no bushels for more than a month!
NB and more money into FS ASAP.

Despite this, by tommorow I'll pass the 600 acres.

[War4ever]

hehe thanks zopper....i figured out how to cb someone properly with the angel and such....made a good land grab off an orc close to my size....took 53 acres of land

with my over 5000 def spec and 450 elites still at home, there shouldn't be any reprisals from this fella !!!!!

thanks again....

Good going!

I didn't make exact calculations, but your utilization should be good and you've pumped quite some money into Alchemy, so income should be OK. Otherwise, ask for money in the forums
What's your current income?

Edit:
This is an alteration of the earlier strat:

35% Homes
05% Farms
05% Guilds
05% Towers
20% Hospitals
25% Barracks
05% Stables

This will work better I think.

[War4ever]

i make about 29500k and my upkeep is around 4500...so i am neting about 25ooo with all my banks right now.......

5400defspec
2400elites
450offspec...to train into elites when they come home...
250 wizzies
175 thieves

i need way more elites...so i can't go hospitals yet.....as i need those armouries...

125 homes 21.5%
55 farms 9.5%
112 arm 19.2%
125 barack 21.5%
89 banks 15.3%
30 guilds/towers 5% each
12 stables 2%
4 forts under construction...

i am losing 2-300 bushels of food per month
not really growing too quick
i have tons of cash but no troops to train...
when i am sent troops, i then lose peasants as am maxed in limits
i have done all my science research

casting paradise is expensive and i don't produce as many runes now that i cut it by half.

i am low on thieves, wizzies, and elites......

i wonder what i should do with my 53 new acres in 12 hours....

at least my arnies come home quick!

any thoughts
