Hello. I'm a little late to the game. Literally.

I was just told about this game and it does look interesting, if not a bit overwhelming.

Is it true that I cannot participate in Global chat or send in-game messages until I reach a population of 25? If true, then I suppose I will need to continue placing additional buildings.

Well, just saying HI and I hope to chat with some of you all in-game. And if you have any tips for me as I take my first steps, feel free to send them my way.

I am also reading the Tips and Tricks forum.

Thanks,

Ronin

Hi Ronin,

Welcome to the game!

Yes, it is true that you can't talk or send IGMs until a population of 25. This was done to deal with some particularly persistent trolls. Building up to 25 adds a bit of a buffer which gives the GMs time to spot and ban problem accounts before they... become problems.

In terms of assistance, when you do hit 25 pop definitely get in GC- people are extremely helpful with resources. Indeed, I have some on the way to you already :)

For tips and tricks- illy is a fairly forgiving game. Most things can be undone. One exception to this is your tenaril spell- you only get one. I recommend hanging on to it until you've got some experience and advice specific to your circumstances.

One of the big early choices in Illy is whether to join an alliance and which alliance to join. You can move alliances, so this isn't set in stone, but it can significantly influence your experience in the game. I recommend joining an alliance around the time you hit 450 population as this is when you can place your second town. I also recommend joining mid to large sized alliances, as these will be able to more adequately support your growth.

You can also make a second account- there are different ways to use this, and the best solution will depend on your playstyle and needs.

Finally, there's an unofficial discord run by a player called Zenrath. If you use discord, it's well worth joining. Send him an IGM and he'll be able to invite you.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me- my in game names are Eoqan The Elf and Eoqan The Short.

Cheers
-E

This is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some person started it, not knowing what it was, and we'll continue posting on it forever just because...

Build mad cotters* and see if you can buy bulk basics from someone in the general area with the basic minerals and herbs your cotters gather

*15 or more, spilt into two or three groups for herbs to avoid overharvesting
