This isn't really an 'e-peen meter' per say, but a gauge of how much inter-colony commerce you do.

Example: I'm constantly shipping 3000 wood from my 'inactive pillaging colony' to my marble colony to dump all that wood into the quarry for upgrading. That's 10 ships a trip and 4 more to send 600 wine to my marble and wine colonies with another 4 to send 600 marble from my marble to the wine and crystal. Of my 25 ships 18 at constantly at sea with 7 full of goods from the inactive I pillage on my island.

25 ships vanish so fast. -.-

I got 1.. Havent really understood the point of having them yet (beginner), I dont have any colonies yet and just got my town leveled up to 4 where all the resources are starting to come into play.. My thoughts are that Imma try and get a colony on a wine island, just have good trade within my 2 cities trading with only TGA members for marble and sulfur. This sound like a good plan? My island has crystal on it and so far im stable enough for resources but happyness isnt good..

Edit: just updated it to 5, still havent used a single one yet though..

I have 23 ships, and when I run two pillage operations at once, 14 of them disappear. If I add a third, they're all gone. I need more but they cost so much!

I have 19 on the .org server. I did fine with 12 for a long time. But then I had to start redistributing the goods because my warehouses where running out. And of course the wine had to be distributed constantly.

On the .com server I have 13. That only came about because I created a colony and that used up the 7, found a good deal on crystal and had to by 4 then had to transport some wine so had to by a couple more. Usually I only need about 9 at any one time except in emergencies.

I have 30 now and when I see someone selling 5000 marble 6 islands away with my trading post for 10g each that number seems insufficient too when you factor in pillages and inter-colonial trade of staples. -.-;

THIS is what you should be doing with 'em. It looks like I'm on some big war rampage, but most of these are inactives, and the others are fools with 0 military score.

Bought my 20th today when I noticed that swapping stuff between my colonies, and undergoing a buying spree trying to upgrade my palace took all 19.
