    To expand or not?

    I have a level 7 city on a wine island pulling in decent amounts of gold, wine, and wood. However Im constantly in need of marble and glass which I have been trading for regularily.

    So I have enough resources now to start a new colony and was wondering if I should sit tight and amass more resources while trying to trade for what I need for a while longer. Or start that new colony on a marble island (as I need marble the most it seems currently, glass will be priority soon enough). I just worry that sitting here amasing lots of resoureces without a proper level of military and wearhouse (limited by both my desire to save my resources for expansion and marble is scarce) that I will get pillaged and loose all that work. Better to invest in now while I have it and scrap to get back up in resources?

    Well in my infinite patience I went ahead and Im setting up a new colony, though I have a short while that I could recall it I believe so fire away if this is a horrible mistake.

    It's never bad to settle a marble colony. You're definitely going to need it.

    Marble trading nearby would be AWESOME!! Nobody outside of TGA on our side of the world is very forthcoming with the marble. My next colony will be a marble colony, in fact. Good choice!

    For sure Arithea once I get rolling I will start shipping. It should be just over 5 hours but its cheaper then me building a glass colony at this point.

    Rock on! No rush; I've been able to acquire enough to keep me going, if barely. Just send me a message in-game when you're ready to start trading; I'll keep you back some crystal.
