		<title>What to build in your cities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every city you build obviously needs to have a town hall, that&#8217;s the first building you start with. The next building I build in a new city is a warehouse, to be able to fill it up with resources. Then it is usually a tavern, as it&#8217;s pretty cheap, quick to build and will get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Intelligence and hideouts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really important to have high levels hideouts in your cities to prevent enemies from getting intelligence on you too easily. Early on the server having a hideout 3-5 levels lower than the town hall of the village should be ok, but later on the server you should strive to have the hideout level higher [...]]]></description>

		<title>Counterattacking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Counterattacking can be really useful if you&#8217;re being attacked by a huge force but don&#8217;t have enough troops to defend yourself. If you counterattack the guy attacking you, you might make him turn back to defend his own village in the middle of the battle instead of plundering your resources. This is just a tip [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do I need a navy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard several times players claiming that you don&#8217;t really need war ships in Ikariam anymore once you get the occupation technology. Then you can occupy other players cities and use these as a base to launch attacks after all. I agree that it&#8217;s really usefull to be able to avoid other players fleets now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pillaging to grow quickly.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being an active pillager is definitely the fastest way to grow, especially in the beginning. You&#8217;ll notice many accounts going inactive, and keep attacking them as often as possible, not more than 6 times every 24 hours though, in case they suddenly log on and report you for bashing.
Usually pillaging active player on your own [...]]]></description>

		<title>Start plundering inactives early</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You really have to get some trade ships and start plundering the inactive players around you early on. Many of them will have had those first 30 workers getting them lumber for several days, and when the godly protection runs out you want to be ready with a few spearmen and trade ships to take [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wonders and the new miracles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just thought I&#8217;d take a quick look at the miracles that were implemented with version 3.2 of Ikariam. There have been many complaints in the various forums about them, people saying most of them are pretty useless. The fact that you need a building space for a temple makes quite a few players that already [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plundering the barbarian village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Plundering the barbarian village is something you should do very early in the game, getting the 500 lumber from the first attack will really speed up things for you early on. If you&#8217;ve read my first few steps guide you could consider this short article here as a part 2. What you need to plunder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wine and plunder strategy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This strategy is for the players who prefer to go around with huge armies and plunder their neighbors instead of doing it the boring way and produce resources yourself. This is how I play the game usually, and it&#8217;s the best way to grow quickly and dominate your area. This works best when you&#8217;re on a fairly [...]]]></description>
