Going to hit someone near me who DOESN'T scout as having 17million berzerkers.

He has:

373 city points

25 city guards

74k wood
55k stone
30k iron
10k food

Level 4 town hall
Scouts didn't see walls or towers.

I am sending to plunder:

226 zerks
64 rangers
1 warlock
63 paladins

Basically, everything I have since my last army got wiped out.

I'll let you know how it goes soon. He's only 4 spaces away.

Raid successful.

I lost 1 Ranger

He lost 2 city guards.

I plundered

1792 wood
1359 stone
758 iron
248 food

Not bad. Will send out the same army as soon as they get back, with what I have recruited in the mean time.

Raid 2 successful.

Lost 1 zerk
Kileld 1 city guard

Plundered

1830 wood
1390 stone
768 iron
250 food

Will keep doing this until I get bored.... building my army up as fast as I can so I can carry more.

I also have more to lose if my neighbor builds a castle. We'll see.

Build hideouts and keep your army out of your city raiding other cities. Then he gets nothing and you don't lose any troops cause they aren't home. If you are going to be afk for a while, send your troops to a city that's farther away.

I have a castle and he has 1.7 billion berzerkers. If he builds his own castle, he can take me off the map whenever he wants no matter how many hideouts I have.

If he takes my city, I am quitting. No way you can play a fair game if EA wont take care of the blatant cheaters who actually brag about it on the EA message boards.

Have been continuing the plunder cycle on that city.

Have achieved my "25000 Player goods plundered" quest. Have lost 2 units in 5 raids.

Can you destroy your castle? So you can go back to not being attacked.

Post by **GORDON** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:12 pm

Don't know. I guess I could try... but I better be able to cancel it!

Nope, the "Destroy this building" button is unavailable.

Sent a shit ton of resouces you way. Will take 23 hours to get there, but, they are coming. I will be your resource farm. I'll be building more ships so you can get two shipments of shit per day. Do you need troops? I'm planning on keeping my resources below hideout levels and therefor don't need an army.

Post by **Cakedaddy** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:41 pm

I figured it would be unavailable. "OH shit, I'm about to lose my city!!" Destroy. . .

Also, do we know if the target gets a message that they are being scouted? A battle report? Cause I think the scouts fight. But if they have no scouts, then there's no fight. So, no report?

I think sending Gordo resources on server three is a bit like blocking the tide with a single sandbag.

If 1.7 billion units are coming, there's not much that can be done about it.

Although, you could start a new city elsewhere on that server.

I'm sending them based on the assumption that the dude is banned, disabled, whatever. That the experiment will continue with 1.7 dude being out of the picture.

Post by **GORDON** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:31 pm

Yeah, send everything. As soon as I have my city maxed I am going to try a 1-man assault on the continent.

5th or 6th time I have plundered this guy:

Post by **GORDON** » Wed Apr 28, 2010 8:33 am

Still plundering the guy as my army grows. This is several raids since my last post.

What's the travel time to that city?

Do you have any castled targets around? Interested in seeing siege results.

Also, I've built up my navy a bit. I'll be able to maintain daily shipments of 15k stone and iron. Upgrading my production now to increase that daily amount.

1. About 20 minutes to get there.

2. Yes, 2 castles on my screen. I won't even think about attacking them until I have at least a 4:1 advantage in numbers.

Post by **Cakedaddy** » Wed Apr 28, 2010 4:31 pm

You need lots of siege hardware too. Also, if you can get there by water, having some boats go might be cool too.

I got the "Plunder 100k from another player" achievement today.
