Well here is my dilemma. I find a bunch of people with high gold. I have 18k gold already and I find about 10 people to attack. I attacked each one of them with 5 AP in a matter of less than a minute. I clicked on the build button as soon as I was done attacking the last guy and even before the attack stats could show up. Before I could even spend it three other warlords had attacked me. One had spent 16 AP on me, another 5AP, and yet another about 7AP. About two days ago I had tried stealing a whole bunch of gold but it didn't work because I simply did not have enough APs. I was 2k gold short of what I needed even with a loan. Any suggestions on how I can reach that 50k gold to build with? I already open up the multiple windows for attack targets.

I usually find that the best time to run is near the middle of each tic. At the tic, most people seem to log on and search for runners. Another note is that 18k can be unusually high compared to others around you if they are low in gold. Even though it may be safe, its almost saying that you're going to run soon and you made be watched from those in the top 20.

As a suggestion for AP usage, its better to use 10 AP hits since you can get more gold than 5 AP hits and it can make running faster.

Hmmm, I have to agree with Arukas, you are starting from quite a high amount of gold...I always keep an eye on people with that much gold just incase they run...and believe it or not...they usually do!

Here's my advice:

Before you run you want to be on good gold...but not very high gold...there are run busters out there who know what you usually sit on and if they see you on unnusually high gold they WILL know you are about to run...so let your gold go high...but not too high...and try to sit on that same amount for a couple of turns to put the run busters off! Believe it or not if they think you are just sitting on good gold and getting hit tic after tic they will be more likely to leave you alone.

Do NOT run on tic...I know many people that have done this and got away with it but in general it's best to avoid running within 8 minutes of tic....give the tic hunters time to lose interest and get off the attack pages before you run.

When running make sure you have just logged into the game...(you don't want to get logged out half way through your run!)...look at your bottom attack pages and select your targets...open each target in a new TAB (not window)...once you have the targets then go through them one by one selecting 'prepare to attack' and then select the 10 APs option...check they are still on good money before you hit them!...Once you've done this you are ready to start running...go back through all your tabs and click attack...then go back to your original attack page and click build...you should have just completed your run in well under 20 seconds!

Hope that helps and isn't just repeating stuff you already know.

That is just it. There were only 44 people online. It was 14 minutes until the next tic. I never run on a tic. Also I had them open in tabs(if I said window oops). Captain Nobeard I do all the stuff you said in the last paragraph. I just seem to have really, really, really, really, really, really bad luck.


Oh and an observation for Draconians. The more Hatchers you have the better your morale for Poleaxemen will be.

Thats the way it is for all races with the morale... Yarr!

Either way, one stratagem you might consider is changing the settings on FireFox so it only sends data to server in bursts, for instance set it up to do it in 30sec bursts, then make all your attacks and set it to reset once it regains communication with the server, all your attacks are sent simultaneously but due to the way Trade has the server set up it will take them one at a time but in a fraction of the time it would normally take.

Another idea is not to bother waiting for the page to load, just plough ahead a make your second attack, once more Trade's economy over power benefits those with knowledge.

Here be a valuable thing to know. When you are running instead of waiting to load the build page then clicking BUILD on the building you want simply input these links and skip all of that and get it built without waiting! (Just take the spaces out from between the ws in www!
