expansion, colonization

Is it worth building a colony somewhere further away from your capitol, for the sake of being closer to others.

Example KillDaddy is 18 hours away from me, if I build a colony closer to him, would that help reducing shipping times?

not really, it would still take the 18 hours to ship it back to your capitol.

it would make it easier for us to do business, as I wouldnt have to have ships out that long, but the benefits for you would be negligible.

The only way around that would be to build your colony up pretty well and only send shipments from it to your capitol every few days. Would require you to have a good defense set up in your colony. In effect, you are turning it into a massive warehouse for the capitol.

so if my colony is closer to you, it would help you to get ur trade ships faster, but I would still get the stuff from those trade ships in 18 hours?

yeah, they would arrive at your colony pretty quickly, then you'd have to turn around and send em the 18 hours from your colony to your capitol.

why would I send them from my colony to the capitol? colony is extension of the capitol, or just how it works - to receive trade goods from others stuff needs to be going to the capitol?

Your colonies do not share resources. You have to send trade ships to resupply.

**KillDaddy** · 03-22-2008, 07:04 PM

colonies run the same as the capitol pretty much. like ikonic said, the resources aren't shared. so if you have a colony on a wine island and need a lot of wine in your capitol, you just ship it to yourself rather than buying or trading for it elsewhere. works in reverse too. colony needs something the capitol has a lot of? ship it out to the colony. You're only out the time to send it and get the ships back.

Gold is shared.

**UnDeaD77** · 03-22-2008, 09:27 PM

So is your research. That's why its nice to start another academy.

**Tonk** · 03-23-2008, 12:44 AM

meaning I can have 2 academies = doubling my research??

Turbinator · 03-23-2008, 01:20 AM

also anyone know the ratio? how much each time = to in minutes of travel for trade ships? I'm thinking of colonizing island on 78:57, which is not far from current 82:60.

thank you

**Tonk** · 03-23-2008, 01:23 AM

along with research and gold.. are trade ships shared?

You could move your capital to the new place...
