Auto ghosted? What does that mean? Is there anything in wiki about that?

Not to my knowledge. After ~2 weeks of inactivity, an account in the world is deleted. His/her cities are turned to what are called ghost cities, which are represented by grey flags. These cities slowly decay in points until reaching a minimum and turned back into anchor points. These cities still require being cleared of troops/navy to conquer, but only need a CS now. You do not need revolt/conquest researched to take them.

That's funny I just looked and I don't see any grey flags anywhere.

I assume you are in Theta. Hasn't been open for very long, so not many cities have ghosted. Here is a map with the current ghost cities:

I'd agree with Tyler. If you colonize on a small island you don't have access to the free resources that the farming villages offer and you hurt yourself in the long run. If you don't want to take someone's city, colonize a city that has ghosted so that you can farm resources from the villages. You'll be better off. If you're in Theta, if you wait a while they'll start popping up all over.

Sorry but I can't seem to load that link. The only grey flags I see in Theta are the ones on the small islands that have no farming villages. I don't see any on the bigger islands.

You can still farm the other cities to gain resources. That's why you use a colony island as a naval base.

Okay there is rule in wiki that says that the account is automatically deleted after two weeks. But the player can still come back.

It takes about 7 days for the account to delete. You have that long to come back, but after it is deleted, you can not get back on it.
If the account does go inactive, you are right, the player and come back and continue, but as I said, the cities slowly degrade and may also be taken over during that time.

And once those grey anchors appear on the larger islands there will be a mad scramble to get them. Alot of colony ships will be lost.

That's not true...their get to be too many, and few even worth taking. Just look at the amount in Eta right now (I just snipped a small section of the map):

It is therefore far more efficient to be conquering cities with more points than your usually found ghost cities or by colonization. You can sometimes get lucky and find some good ghost cities though.
Overall, if you are good at protecting your colony ship, you won't have to worry about it anyway! Just send a lot of LS along with it

Is it possible to reassign ships and troops to another colony/city?

No, they are linked to their city of origin.

You get used to it after a while. Not sure the game would work well without it.

How 'bout transporting resources from one city to another?
DeletedUser2039

You can do that so long as you have a market place in the city you are sending the resources from. Normally, the cities won't be on the same island though. For inter-island trading, you need a lvl 10 market.

Tyler putting me out of work with all his quick answers
Still haven't actually answered 1 simple question from the original post though
You need to have minimum levels of certain buildings to build Academy and Harbor.
Academy requires:
Senate Level 8
Farm Level 6
Barracks Level 5
Harbor requires:
Senate Level 14
Timber Camp Level 15
Silver Mine Level 10
