Hi guys. I lost my mind and started this browser game. As if I had nothing better to do.
Anyway. Here's the game.
You start with one city on an island. Each island has one out of four resources:
marble - for building
wine - for happines
crystal - for building science
sulphur - for building troops
Each island also has a saw mill producing wood, which is needed for building and for donating. Your production volume depends on how much the players on an island have donated to the mills, quarries, vinyards ...
Up to 16 players can be on one island. You can trade stuff with people on surrounding islands. Cities are producing gold, depending on how much workers and scientists you employ, military costs upkeep.
Cities can not be wiped out. Worst case is you get raided or occupied, loosing gold and goods.

I'm playing on the lambda world.
Looks like I found a couple of decent allies there. I will point them to this thread, island mail is just to tideous for making plans - so there might be new faces to this board.
