I'm old and in over my head! Help!

[Snocat]

You sir, are hands down the most lucid and erudite person I've ever had the privilege to converse with on this god forsaken thing they call the Internet. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions; I'm fairly certain that I may or may not but probably or at least hopefully will, understand at least a part of your explanation with a week of further study. Don't be discouraged, it could be worse! You could have just found out your retarded like I did!

I'll have to look into this ally thing a bit more, and I thank you for the tip on the goo dude!

By the way, would you mind terribly taking a job with Hewlett Packard? I'm having trouble with my computer and they don't seem to speak the languages we call "common sense" "good faith" and "honesty". I'm currently searching for a Rosetta Stone but it's not looking good.

Ack!!! I knew darn well I screwed up; I didn't try to level up, I just killed things. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Just one thing, I'm not quite sure what you said. Where did I go wrong and how do I fix it? I thought I was going slow!

Welcome to the forum bud.

8 levels in 1 day? And you have you have like 1 or 2 allies right? I would slow down a little bit here old chap until you get your bearings. This game isn't meant to be played like an arcade game in one day....

Very low level allied players will need to opine whether its viable to stay this low at his level ...

What may the problem be with your computer? Perhaps one of us could be of assistance?

I didn't give you any advice except to slow down bud.

I'm asking other forum members who have very low allies at your level to help you out as your situation is pretty unqiue. Your biggest decision now is whether to stay under the radar (i.e., try not be seen by a large number of rivals) IF YOU CAN by keeping the number of allies you have at the moment the same, or increase the number of allies to boost your stats, especially defense. Most of my low level allies on level 7-9 have around 15-30 allies.

I think right now your low level buildings and low allies (I am assuming less than 3?) is not getting you any attention fortunately.

Sometimes I amaze even myself, in the wee short time betwixt my missive and your reply I managed to step on my twig and berries. ie. most of my buildings are now twos and some are threes AND I now have another ally somehow, bringing the total abysmally to two. I guess my idea of staying under the radar consists of jumping up and down screaming like a lunatic and baring my pale flaccid arse to the world. BOOGA BOOGA!!

Not only that but the damn game leveled me up to nine while I had my back turned. I've invested what little money I had into the vault in the hopes that I can sc**** some remnant of dignity from the rubble that's left of my lands... I'd say easy come easy go but it wasn't. Mebe they'll leave me the cottage, thank god I don't have a tavern yet. It'd break my heart to lose that.

Thats ok - don't add any more allies. I believe the cutoff is like 3.

Have a cup of tea and take a break. This game is more like correspondence chess - take your time. Otherwise you will get your a** handed to you in a tupperwear container very soon.

Any help regards my computer would would be greatly appreciated but I have to say that I'm loathe to drag anyone into the miasma that I call "The Young and the Computerless". It a soap opera with no comic relief, Don Knotts is playing me in the movie version.

If you're serious I'll happily accept your help, I just have to warn you up front that it's like having a dog walk across you; it's all warm and fuzzy at first, downgrading to a pink underbelly, and then WHAM! Hewllet Packard pokes its willy in your face and your all disgusted and left feeling faintly ashamed. Kinda like how you felt after watching "Dumb and Dumber".

Dang, I should get a job writing disclaimers for Personal Injury Lawyers! Hehehhehehehe!

Seriously though, I feel like an idiot, but not so much that I won't take help when it's so generously offered.

[Ghost818]

Well if my knowledge can help you ask and we will find out if I can help
