Please explain me what I'm doing wrong: I've upgraded my warehouse to level 6, I created city walls, I got 3 phalanxes in my town and I still get pillaged all the time! Do I need to move my phalanxes somehere after I recruited them or something? I'd enjoy this game so much more if I just found out how to make my phalanxes finally defend the city....

It sounds like your doing the right thing. I had some slingers who would chicken out of a fight also. You probably just need more. The warehouse will protect a certain number of goods, but if you have more then that, then it is at risk. When you see him coming, it may be smart to destroy your trading port (it doesn't take much to build a new one) so that he can only leave with is small (60 tops I believe). If all he takes is lumber, then it's not worth his attacking yourself.

I am about to break into the top 500 on the leaderboard. My on hand cash is now over 100K and here was the sale that put me over the top.

Going rate on wine is about 20, so that cracked me up.

Where can I check what place on the leaderboard I am? Or leaderboard = highscore and rank = points?

Just hit Highscore at the top and it will list your points and rank as well as those in the same score bracket.

If he has that much money to waste you should've sent your cargo ship and then a raiding party an hour later.

Well you're going to love this. I took into account that building on an unpopulated island would be slower. Still I'm making ridiculous profits reselling undervalued goods and it's not hard to just buy extra lumber. So I send my colony out, it lands on an empty island, and like 2 hours after they land there are 9 other cities on the island.

God damn it, at least I didn't go very far out of my way to find an empty island.

What a cool concept for a web game. I love on-demand apps.
