Another level of tactics? Rubbish. Even if everyone knows about it, this is still a bug and an exploit. It just randomly penalizes players in areas where legions of rats and poisonous crawlers can wander near their cities. In some places like the southern islands, there is an extreme density of strong NPCs in large groups.

Whilst I agree this should be fixed by our errant developers it's now open knowledge and works for both sides surely? So hardly a case of picking sides:) This does actually seem to offer another level of tactics....

So you think it would be prudent strategy to waste my troops clearing NPCs in the middle of a war?  Are you getting paid by Bane to give this advice?  :P

So then it is an exploit, one that definitely needs to be fixed.

It is not random.  If you send a blockade to the square where an npc is currently residing, the blockade will be reinforced by the npc.  Not too much fun when at war and a myriad of crawlers is blockading your city and you have to waste 4000 cavarly to clear and your enemy only loses one troop.

Idk if I would call this an 'exploit'  it may not be intended but its completely random if a set of animals decides to reinforce.  No one can send an empty siege army and use 100k animals to do the siege.  

Also from my understanding the 12 city exploit has already been fixed.  And as Brand said there isn't anything wrong with having under 150k with 10 cities.
