wonder update

So I officially suck at posting wonder updates!! But the good news is that we're moving forward and my work project from hell is over today. Yaaaaaayyy!!!

Here's the updates:
- Jopa and Haawk wrecked Muller's wonder taking it down ~30 levels. He has started rebuilding, but this is still a HUGE win.
- Serenity and Six took out two Great Warehouses in Maggie's wonder, which inspired a combined VN/Shadow follow-up attack which took it down to L0. Now they've given up building this wonder!
- The TSW meta (WW/VN/PM) led an operation which captured almost all of the Squiggle's construction plans. This effectively stops their wonder construction, but they can still work on warehouses and granaries. We expect them to try to capture plans back soon.

Our defense is picking up in all our wonders so we need to keep shipping in more and more crop every day. If our defense holds strong, we could be victors in ~2 weeks, but anything can happen! Please keep those defense troops building and going to wonders (spears, phalanx, prets are preferred) and keep the crop and resources flowing too.

Final stretch now - let's finish strong!!

Cheers,

-LS

Lugh and Pondor are the two wonder holders who are not building. I would expect that the TF folks will try to get a wonder plan back. Moti can still build his wonder and so can Muller, who is now really far behind.

Tough to be the squiggles this week. I wish I knew what their members were saying.

I changed my profile in honor of hotshotone. When Danmac arranged for a mass attack against him, he changed his profile to say essentially that we couldn't win. So I had to take a little shot at him in my profile.

Keep reinforcing the wonders!! This is the incoming list for 0|-1... looks like some tight groups right after the natars, so if you can get more troops in please do:

From a wonder sitter...
~~~
As suspected, tonight we had some squiggle hammers land to coincide with the level 85 Natar attack. The enemy did not receive a single attack report. Although these reports show no damage to our infrastructure, their attacks did in fact do minimal damage (anyone could have seen this by observing population of the village).

Given the fact that we were able to see their attacks coming from far out, and that we responded as a meta very well with reinforcements, I think we did very well.

Their first attack actually landed *before* the Natars, in an attempt to lower our city wall before the massive Natar wave arrived:

This was followed by the two waves of Natar attacks, which can be seen in the compiled Natar attack list thread in this subforum.

Following the Natars were four major squiggle hammers, targeting city walls and Great Warehouses:

Thank you to everyone who responded by sending resources, wheat or reins. We were able to minimize our losses greatly and managed to not lose ANY Wonder levels and maintain our lead on the other Wonders.

Things are only going to escalate, so please....train as many defensive troops as you can, and ship them out

My hero got 5 levels last nigh..

Oh yes, btw, this is an amazing alliance, this just shows it.

Just wish SHK could have been around to help..

mine got 2...... hahaha. the comical thing to me is this..... early in the server i had asked TF for some help, back before i was anything with a decent army... and they blew me off...... too bad for them.

At this point, activity and doing what is required -- sending crops and troops and building more troops and sending resources -- is all that is required. We have just overwhelmed them with our superior activity. Our enemies haven't really put together a decent operation yet. If this was their best, it was woefully short of what is required at this level.

Ah, I miss talking to muller.

Well at least he knew which wing was best! =P

haha.... his arrogance is nauseating..... watching TF's dreams of victory vanishing into smoke is extremely satisfying.

Muller must know by now that they have become the scum of the toilet with hard water and lots of iron in the water supply. His wonder has no chance at catching up unless we start slacking and give him a chance.

My merchants want to say something: "Our feet hurt, and we are under paid. We are going on strike."

pffft sn isnt shit

Moti's wonder is only two levels behind though. Got to watch that.

There's still LOTS of armies out there that could completely change the game, so please keep the merchants moving and the barracks pumping.

125|125 and 0|-1 have closer rapid reaction forces, so please keep as much defense as you can flowing to 0|74 to build up the garrison.

TF armies started rolling in... nobody going home though.

Nice. I don't think TF has the catas to damage our wonder villages. Looks to me like we have the advantage. It'll be either us or VN at the end.

I'm completely shocked by the D we have up and so is TF I'm thinking. Those are some insane numbers.

What happened to the other TSW wonder village? They had two that were neck and neck until this morning. Was it the natar attack, or did the squiggles get a hit in?

It's pretty common to time attacks to land right after natars, so it's probably a combination of both. We won't be attacking them, though. It's a military game against the squiggles and an economic game with TSW right now... so come higher levels we'll need to start stepping up resource and crop shipments even more so we don't have any build gaps.

you guys are amazing. best alliance ive worked with on the many servers ive played. so, how many more hammers do you guys think are out there? the way i see it, the squiggles would need at least 6 really big hammers to knock us out alone (one to destroy the wall, the other to hit the wonder/great warehouses, for each of our three wonders), and then theyd have to worry about the 3 TSW wonders...if you look at it this way, i dont think they stand a chance. but i dont like being too optimistic...i could be wrong.

I agree on both counts. First, our alliance is the best I've been in! Second, the Squiggles need some big armies if they're going to bounce back.

Two TF leaders got wiped... I keep checking to see if there are others but instead I'm just getting mad fakes.

You guys are planning on hitting this moti guy with a lvl 91 WW in the squiggles?

Fun times had by Muller. No damage yet I hope?

edit: everyone realizes we're only a couple days away from winning the server? TF is going to take every shot at us they can now with the first level 95 hit. It's their only hope of delaying the win.

We expect mass attacks on us tonight... around 3 am.

Plans are in the works for counter-attacks too.
