This complaint repeats itself constantly. Should people harvest on sov? Probably not. Do people harvest on sov? Obviously, because I've been hearing the same complaint for two years. Real life metaphors about cars are irrelevant--this is a video game, and people are not beholden to real world standards of behavior.
I post guards, and I have never had this problem. Being a practical guy, I am more concerned with the result (not having problems with unwanted harvesters) than I am with questions of meta-game philosophy (should sov be viewed as an exclusive claim to rare resources?). My policy of not killing harvesters is from the same vein of thought: I am uninterested in chancing a pointless fight with some belligerent dipstick over her dead miners, when I can easily remove that possibility with a 1 gold/hr militia unit. |

I don't understand this concept of thinking you automatically own everything within your 10x10. Players must be getting it confused with the 10x10 rule for city placements.
As long as I can remember its always been 10x10 for city placement and 5x5 exclusive zone for sov, harvesting and armies. This 10x10 exclusive zone for everything makes no sense. There are very few cities on the map that don't have their 10x10 overlapping several other players. Plot it out on a map and you'll see how a 10x10 harvesting,armies,sov rule is just plain silly. |

Yea, I agree. Harvesting on someone else's sov is rude and warrants a kill. I don't think armies need to be posted on sov and it just isn't practical. More than the cost, those commanders can be doing something else. Sovereignty is ownership but now and then you need to get out the shotgun and run off the idiot kids vandalizing your stuff.

Brandmeister one of the spots is a grape patch the square NEXT to my city! I find that outrageous and completely disrespectful that you would send your harvesters RIGHT NEXT to another player's city and harvest their resources. I shouldn't have to have an army on that patch!!!!! It is NEXT to my city. Say what you like but is some player came next to your city and was harvesting you would be irritated. I should not have to pay per hour for gold and have to put an army on a spot NEXT to my city. That is completely ridiculous!!
The other spot is within my 10 squares and should not have to be guarded either. I would never dream of harvesting on another player's sov. If you are a wise player you will leave the sov indicator on and make dang sure you stay away from the sov spots. You can also read that the spot belong to a player!! How does a player miss that a player is soving that spot? Disrespectful and rude. I am paying for the spot that makes it mine. Think of it this way; if you bought a car and some random stranger got in it while you were standing in the garage and started taking things out of it, would you be so passive about it then? I would hope to heck not! |

I respect each person's right to their own opinion. Since I am arrogant, I believe you also have a right to my opinion...
 Here is what I post on my profile... Harvesting Code of Conduct: 1) You are welcome to harvest any resource near my towns. No sense it going to waste. If my harvesters get off their lazy butts and decide to do something, they may bump you. If your harvesters bring an army, my harvesters may bring an army. 2) Outside of my territory, my harvesters might be found gathering whatever is not occupied. Never will they intentionally bump someone who is already harvesting although it has occasionally happened because of timing, stupidity, or inebriation. 3) If you have any conflict with my harvesters, just let me know. I will gladly send you the harvest. I prefer my harvesters out working for you instead of sitting at the tavern drinking my beer. 4) This is a game. If mutilating my cotter/skinner/etc. with your army adds to your enjoyment of the game, go ahead, I really don't mind. 5) If you claim that soveriegnty, 100 X 100 squares, phase of the moon, bad movie reviews, psychological problems, lost pets, or a nasty disposition gives you an exclusive right to allow an unharvested plot to simply rot away, please refer to Code #3 or #4. |

Yeah, the only time this really bothers me is if 1) someone else tries to park an army on my sov (rude, just rude) or 2) if they send more herbalists than my rare herb patch has, thus threatening to over-harvest it. Grrr! But that rarely happens.

I am referring to harvesting within 10 squares in general. Outside 10 squares put troops sure. But if a player puts troops within my 10 squares or harvests without my permission they lose their troops/harvesters.
