I have 600k in goods to ships back to my towns and it's going to take me 2 weeks to do it.

I set up a MWC and pillaged the crap out of this guy with so much stuff that I have too much to ship back. It's a 17 hour trip to my nearest town, I really didn't think it through when I did this.

You might want to buy some ambrosia. - Spawn Jun 29, 09:17 22
- So Ambrosia is worth it? - amoxy Jun 29, 09:18 13
  - I have not used it, but I researched that offer of transport ships and was pleased with that set-up. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 09:21 4
    - watch out though, I made a mistake once and ended up with just a couple ships rather than the full load...same price -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 09:23 3
      - I doubt I will do it until I get the 160 boats. They way my mind works I would feel like I was wasting money right now! -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 09:25 2
        
        I was worried someone would poach my kill. so this cut the time in half to get stuff out -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 09:29 1
        
        Oh, I can totally understand. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 09:31
  - yes/no. its worth it for the transmorphing of goods, and the extra transport ships - tRuMaN Jun 29, 09:20
  - It is, you can double the ships used to transport goods, you can turn any excess goods into another one you need more and the 20 bonus for marble has - Krusty Jun 29, 09:20 4
    - if I know I'm going to use it, I will transfer a ton of stuff to one city and just do it all at once (save on the ambrosia from doing it multiple tim) -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 09:21 3
      - and build up the warehouse to hold it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 09:22 1
        
        right -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 09:24
      - yeah, I wish they would just allow you to convert each city at the same time - tRuMaN Jun 29, 09:22
  - yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 09:19
  - I love it. Great if you have a ton of one item but need something else or to get the extra transport ships (great for a MWC) - Beaker Jun 29, 09:19
- I had done that before but I'm broke right now so it's the slow and steady route. -- nm - Krusty Jun 29, 09:17 7
  - I would build a trading post and start selling. - Spawn Jun 29, 09:20 6
    - make sure your defenses are high though -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 09:22 4
      - spies up the wazoo to keep spies out. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 09:26 2
        
        At that point, it's a full colony, not a MPC, isn't it? (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 09:32 1
        
        Yeah, that is a no go. That is why I said deploy and station. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 09:34
      - Oh yeah, deploy troops and navy. - Spawn Jun 29, 09:26
    - agreed. and I want to build a new post to get more buyers. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 09:20
