Then, I can contribute more, but for a little while, I wouldn't be able to go above about level 4. Sorry I can't help more, but I need to get my other islands up before I can help a lot on Tribal. Sorry again for any inconvienience. ''

Hi Dac -

I am sympathetic to your situation even if I cannot quite recall the exact gold earning power of a player just starting out. Making level 4 costs $380,000 total. Adding just two more levels makes the total cost for getting to level 6 = $1,150,000. I could see that amount being a significant percentage of your weekly earnings.

I think Dia Tribe can absorb a few players like yourself and still finally hit the 1500 goal. The problem is that we had 10 players last week that could not manage to exceed level 10. Working in your favor (IMO) is that you are communicating with us here and that you have a reasonable plan to establish your Ethereal island, which will make it much easier for you to add more levels.

I've been thinking about how to quickly get an Ethereal island up and running. Perhaps I'll make a post about my thoughts sometime soon. The main thing is to breed 2 different single element Ethereals. Once you get those two established on Ethereal island, you can quickly build your Ethereal population via breeding. The biggest hurdle to accomplishing this is the 2.6M total food required to level both Ethereals to level 15 so you can teleport them. Since that requires $26M in gold, you probably need daily earnings of $5M+ to accomplish it in a reasonable timeframe.
