I have a wall but no army, wall kinda tek long to setup so mi decide fi deal wid it early out. If somebody send u sumn u mussi have to have the dock to receive them as well as if u want to send off something or trade u need one. You dont need to form an alliance though, so far i'm wondering if I can only send goods to someone near me without researching first.

Wha kinda resources you nubs have, mi have wine can trade, well i'll learn wealth by 8:40 tonight, might increase the rate still but by tomorrow mi want some goods, esp marble.

Is there a way to send a message knowing someone's IGN? So far i've only been able to send by visiting someone's island. Mi need a message from everybody so it will easier to jus reply when mi waan mek a link.

Anybody know if you cancel a research and start a different one if when u resume the one you cancelled it start over back from scratch or if it start back at the amt where u cancelled?

If you see somebody you can click on their city and diplomacy will be enabled on the left and u use that to send a message.
I know you can cancel research, what I wanted to know is if you cancel it, when u start it back if it start from where you cancelled it or you have to do it all over from scratch next time.

If you know someone's IGN, click on Highscores at the top and search for their name. You can send a message to them after finding them on the highscores list.

No man, think the final one is 279 years to complete.

But what you should understand is, once you have expanded and created a palace and expanded your colony by creating new towns in your island and other islands, you can assign more scientists to the research. So you can have like 50 scientists at each of your towns (like say you have 5 towns) that's a total of 250 scientists working on the research. So the time decreases considerably.

Then again, the game not fully complete so maybe they will decrease the times it takes. But they can't let you get all the research so easily.

A few tips for you guys after doing some reading:

• Build a wall. A wall increases your defense and deters others from attacking you. Especially if your town is higher, people will see you are doing well, and decide to target you. Especially those on your own island. Building an army takes more time than building a wall.
• Keep the wall at the same level as your town hall or greater. The lower the wall level is below your town level, the % of the defense goes down. KEep the wall level up, so as to keep up your defences.
• Keep your port at level 1. Unless you have a big enough army to defend your town from attacks. Attackers use your port to load the goods from your town, unto their boat. The higher level your port is, the quicker the loading time. So if you have a high port level, the more goods a successful attacker will get.
• Contribute to your saw mill and luxury mill. The more you donate to your mill, the quicker you will get it upgraded and the more workers you can set working at the mill. If no one else is donating on your island and they are increasing in level, (and you sent them a nice msg to donate) consider building an army and pillaging their town.
• Keep your people happy. The happier they are, the higher your growth rate. If growth rate goes below 1.00, it will reach Neutral state. Below 0 will be Sad. To keep them happy, first thing to research is Well Digging (Science). This adds +50 happiness to your capital.
  Next thing is that you need to build a Tavern or Museum. They are a form of entertainment for your citizens. To build a tavern you need to research Wine Press (Economy).
  After you build your tavern, you need to keep it filled with wine, So you will need to have a source of wine to keep it filled.

That's my useful tips for now.
Think we should start an alliance as soon as we can, so we can help out each other. Each of us will need an Embassy before we can join/start an alliance.
