Graffam8: great!
Round 1 of 12
Ryoneko: so you understand the diffrent land peices and what they are good for right?
Graffam8: yes
Ryoneko: k
Ryoneko: watch for where the blue head is, stand on that exact spot and action button
Graffam8: i tried
Ryoneko: takes practive
Ryoneko: do you understand how the crystite deposits work?
Graffam8: yes
Ryoneko: there's four high plots and radiating off them in diamond pattern is lows and mediums... kk
Graffam8: oh
Graffam8: lawl
Ryoneko: so ya directly below that medium I searched is a high on the mountains
Ryoneko: off each direction of the high is a medium and off each medium is a low.
Ryoneko: I like to make a small grid and track them when I play
Ryoneko: you can tell me to shut up if I talk to much. But otherwise I'll spout out all the random information about the game I can to help ya out laters
Round 2 of 12
Graffam8: heh thanks
Graffam8: i'm readin it
Ryoneko: like when the land for sale comes up. never let an AI buy any land if you can help it
Ryoneko: typically the AI won't pay over 1k for land so you can usually push them off the purchase board even if you don't want the land
Ryoneko: stay low
Ryoneko: I won't sell to you at high prices for now. Most people would have had you run up over 100 to purchase right there
Graffam8: :(
Ryoneko: same there. most people will make the buyers push the price to 100-300 range
Round 3 of 12
Ryoneko: for the first 7 rounds less than 2k buy land if you can. after that push the price past 3k and never buy land unless it's a high crystite
Ryoneko: that's the way most players will work the land auctions
Ryoneko: don't sell this time
Ryoneko: I'm keeping the ai from selling
Ryoneko: we're running the price up a bit more
Ryoneko: first 7 rounds people will manipulate the smithore prices to get a decent chuck of money to work with
Graffam8: jesus
Graffam8: theres that much strategy in this?
Ryoneko: there's tons
Ryoneko: like tricking people into buying land at to high a price
Ryoneko: like dicking people out of much needed food or energy to keep them from producing
Round 4 of 12
Ryoneko: gambling on wither or not the pirates are going to come and investing in all crystite
Ryoneko: flipping the smithore markets at least twice in a game
Ryoneko: some of the bigger players are beyond brutal
Ryoneko: oh! wampus hunting tip. He only shows up on mountains that are not owned by any player
Graffam8: ah okay
Graffam8: your breaking into my market!
Graffam8: i don't want the competition
Graffam8: :(
Ryoneko: lol I'm being gentle too ~_^ I normally would have bought out the smithore first round from the store and not let it burn if I could
Ryoneko: I'd run all smithore the first four rounds and buy all my food and energy
Ryoneko: so by round 5 I've sold smithore for at least 200 in two rounds
Ryoneko: first earthquake just halves our production.... any later on can move mountains and kill mules
Graffam8: scary
Ryoneko: ya not as bad as first place syndrom
Ryoneko: people in first and second place are prone to bad events targeting them
Round 5 of 12
Ryoneko: when you can, cluster your plots together. tiles next to other tiles producing same things or you own them produce more
Graffam8: oh i kind wanna restart now
Graffam8: lawl
Ryoneko: lol
Ryoneko: thus why I suggested a game of training with the free help I offer ~_^
Graffam8: hey would you mind restarting?
Ryoneko: not really we can
Graffam8: cause your woning
Ryoneko: lol yes I am
Ryoneko: same thing as the last time I quit. I'll start another training game
Graffam8: k
