I would be interested in posts about how everyone else is doing in the game, so we can evaluate strategies!...

I have kept my attck at 1 and have gotten my fort up to 5. I can raise about $10-$15 per 600 moves without using a map. If I was to us a map I'm sure I could do $30 as I have transport 3 and can move 4 spaces at a time if needed. So I should be able to plan to hit a money square on everymove. But I have been lazy and have not mapped enough plus I don't even use the map info I have already. It just takes to long and is more fun to wander around and quickly burn off my moves.

I can't seem to get enough money for my fort 6 upgrade without getting hit. So then I spend my remaining money because I expect them to return for more the next day but often I realize if I had just pushed ahead and used my maps properly I could have stole enough to upgrade easy. I am lazy basically but I'm having fun this way atm.

I plan on laying very low on these last few days of the month. I expect to get hit lots and I want everyone that hits me to get very little money so I don't get on the list of places for them to hit everyday. Then during the first part of Feb I will make a push to upgrade. This plan might be more based on the fact that I want a break from the game for a few days. lol

I think one area that I have overlooked as far as alliance planning goes is a wanted list and good target list. We need a list of people that have attacked our members and how often they attack. And we need to really hunt these people down. Not because it will make them stop hitting us but because it should be good fun. Several people have shared good bases to hit but we need to keep a running list so all the information is easy to get at for all members. These ideas all take lots of work by someone to make them happen. I would like to say I would do it but I really don't think I would keep it up over the long haul. I might try the wanted list thing though as I think it becomes more and more important as we go.

Several of our members are and have been under constant attack and I'm sure they feel like we are not even trying to help them out. We need a list of who to look for and we need to post the locations of these people when we find them. It might take weeks or months but we will find them if we remember who to look for.

Thanks to MissOt for most of these ideas, I'm going to try and help make this work but I often lose my focus on record keeping stuff. lol

Also I plan on disbanding all members that don't have 4 upgrades by the 30th of January. If this affects you PM me the reasons you can't get 4 upgrades and I'm sure I will understand and leave you in.
