your palace in your capitol gets destroyed when you do this. but such is life.

Every "square" away is 40 minutes.

I would be somewhat careful of colonizing to far away. You could become the target of another city/alliance and it is hard to support a colony to far away.

I like going about 2-3 'squars' away then build up that colonies military capabilities with support from the home base then jump another 2-3 isalands/squares.

It get very expense after you first two colonies so be careful what island and resource you choose. Sulfur is the least needed and most easily to buy resource in the early game.

thanks for that info.

I started with sulfur, I am going for Marble, seems like most needed resource in the game, for buildings.

Wine is very important when your tavern is at a high level, since its a perishable item, it goes quickly. I agree, its easy to find though, however in a couple of weeks when more people are building larger more efficient armies, Sulfur will come into play big time.

I noticed that some people colonize on islands for specific resource however don't really care for the temples that those islands house.

Gaia - 10% marble production boost. "Blessing" - doubles production of marble
Dionysus - 10 % wine production boost. Blessing - wine production doubled.

Do you fellas think its insignificant?

Um..I have a garden of dionysus on my wine island and the description is +10% wine production and I'm getting +1 wine per 20 people i send to the vineyards (i.e. I send 20 people I get 11 wine. 40=22, etc.) So I think they are working. Maybe its just the blessings that dont.

Also, has anyone tried doubling up on palaces? Will 2 lvl 1 palaces (i.e. one at main/colony) let you get another colony? Cause I know research is stackable like that, so I was just curious.

I'll be testing this shortly, as I really don't want to pay for a level 3 palace to get my third colony.

If you build a palace in another colony, isn't your first one destroyed?

I'll have to look that up. I thought you could build it no higher than your capital's palace.

the only way your palace is destroyed that I'm aware of is if you switch your capitol over.
