Hungry Hungry Hippos dominated the tribe rankings, statistics, and forums.
This quote is from an external forum thread called Who Will Survive?
Tribe Milestones:
200 villages: 1st hippos, 2nd BoE, 3rd LOME
1 mil: 1st hippos, 2nd CND, 3rd center
100k: 1st hippos, 2nd center, 3rd CND
Our first two losses were to Hippos:
2,608 societe [CND] OrangeCrush! [Hippos]
3,299 BDB1 [CND] firekat [Hippos]
We have a thread about BDB1 - basically he was alone in k55 surrounded by Hippos. In retrospect, he never had a chance. At the time, losing the village added to the Myth of the Hippo that had grown.
News of our weakness must have spread to other Hippos - they started attacking in a couple of other places.
Thread - INCOMING!
Meanwhile over at andruid's place, a Hippo attack that wasn't fake:
Soon after -
Support was on its way, though... in units of 100 spear/ 100 sword. Would it be enough to withstand the fairly big attacks being sent?
So exactly how much defence had we managed to stuff into the village?
Remember, this is kind of near the start of the game, everyone was surrounded by enemies, distances were large...
Wow. Impressive stuff.
But we weren't all about defence. We were an aggressive tribe.
Thread - Stupsi Against Two Hippos
Support was sent ...
Stupsi took his target
And our defence wiped out more Hippo nukes:
And I took back a village Hippos had taken from Center.
Hippos couldn't have known that the Center guys were feeding us information that allowed us
to keep Hippos out of k54.
So the battlelines had been drawn - Hippos would dominate k55, and CND and Center would
share k54. I was near the frontline with Hippos, and it's fair to say my entire foreign policy
was based on Hippos, the way the British used to obsess over India. Until they collapsed, though,
I never had any contact with any Hippo.
Their charistmatic leader, Openeye, was clearly a great leader and good player, but sadly (for him),
he was dangerously positioned in k54...

I suspect these are distractions from the main event to stop you supporting others.
Could be wrong but you should just dodge for now and lets see.
I have 10 hippo incomingsI think most of them are fake ^_^
Those have to be fakes as andruid looks to be real target - any chance you can get support to him?
Meanwhile over at andruid's place, a Hippo attack that wasn't fake:
Attacker: Lobster5

Soon after -
Change of Loyalty Loyalty loss from 87 to 60
Looks like they expect to take the village as support is on the way to arrive just after the noble that has been sent. As loyalty is 37 right now I assume another noble will be on the way in not too long, so if you can get support here in time please send.
Support was on its way, though... in units of 100 spear/ 100 sword. Would it be enough to withstand the fairly big attacks being sent?
Both attacks suitably smashed...
Stop teasing, we want reports! Excellent news![]()

Thread - Stupsi Against Two Hippos
I will need a heavy support at stupsi (489|537) K54
and in 2 of my other villages:
stupsi (485|538) K54
stupsi (489|543) K54
Please send me as much as possible, because I will fight against 2 hippos at the same time.
Are you being attacked at the moment? Will send some along in a moment![]()
I am not attacked at the moment, just want to be prepared because I will noble 1 hippo village within the next 48h
and after securing that one ... will take out the other villages.
No Hippos in K54 allowedand more important not around me !!!
Support was sent ...

Stupsi took his target

And I took back a village Hippos had taken from Center.
3,493 crimson-idol [Hippos] beardsy [CND]
Hippos couldn't have known that the Center guys were feeding us information that allowed us
to keep Hippos out of k54.
