Harvesting Rudeness

Mines can't be destroyed, so it hardly seems worth the headache to kill miners. I garrison my Iceheart only to prevent some goofball from sticking an army there and trying to claim it by force (and also to stop my 171 miners from getting eaten by polar bears). But if my armies lapsed and some rakish brigand snuck in and rustled some Iceheart, I don't think I'd have a hostile reaction, just a rueful chuckle.

Are you really suggesting that you're willing to pay hundreds of gold per hour to sov the squares, but cannot spare an extra 1 gold/hour to garrison the resource?

I'm not saying that harvesting on sov isn't rude. But it's such an easily and inexpensively solved problem that I don't know why people have it in the first place. Or I should say, I don't know of a good reason why people have it in the first place. Post a guard. Problem solved.

I have had it!  I am posting this for all of Illy to see.  I am no longer going to just bump players off my sov for harvesting without permission.  From here on out, you harvest on my sov without permission I will kill your harvesters without additional warning or apology afterwards.  I have had my sov repeatedly violated recently.  I am no longer going to be nice and understanding!  All of Illy is now warned, your harvesters will die and you will get nothing from me to replace them.  I soved the spots so I do not have to keep armies on them.  I pay for that spot every single hour!
