... then why dont you try to take it instead of just wishing (..or whining) them away? Seems like a non-issue when the solution is already available....

gosh i have 18 castles and 40 more that look like perma sitting...prob 50 of them do nothing...i am certain there are others like this out there...think of the space 10 accounts, 20 accounts or even 50 accounts like this take .then the scarey thing to think of is when broken lands opens, how often are these castles going to be played. there are whole sections of the map that are populated that do nothing. as dd is saying it looks like an evony map...people are playing like its evony and other dead games, the castles never leave and are seldom played and its getting worse, i enjoy an active game and i offer suggestions to put into the game so all remain happy

So get 240 catapults and burn them down. It's really a very short process. MicroMe makes a profession out of clearing away dead cities, so can you!

As a currently very inactive player, I would not be very upset if someone came and attacked me because I was taking up valuable space. I'd probably try to negotiate or retaliate, but I wouldn't find it unfair.
As an alternative to the "highlight inactive players" option, what about if advanced Scout diplo attacks also revealed how long since the player's last login? It could read something like "(Player Name) has not been seen in the kingdom since ______."
I also wouldn't mind having a "decay" on the effectiveness of defensive Diplos in a player's cities based on inactivity. This doesn't put the inactive player at an unfair disadvantage but does allow active players to better assess and damage immense inactive cities. As an example:
10 days inactive = 10% Diplo defense penalty for all cities
30 days = 25% penalty
60 days = 50% penalty

Large account just seating there doing nothing . Do us all a favor and leave the game . Your taking up space.. While you at it call back all your occupying army's that are on mines, resources and grapes are what ever your seating on doing nothing because you don't feel like playing anymore. If's that the case don't get mad if some body try's and takes from you . Just because you have 10 cites and been here 2 yrs doesn't mean you get a free pass or anybody else for that matter.. Just because you have it ,it s not yours to keep forever for free . You have to defend it and hold it . Its that simple |
since the consone/coalition war I haven't been as active just lately and since ive been playing this game for over 2 years I have every right to sit my big fat ass on these lands for as long as I wish too. " Do us all a favour? "..you probably speak on behalf of a small minority on this subject most certainly not for " ALL ". As you quite rightly said I and other big players alike do have to defend our positions if need be... and believe me, your more than welcome to try. there are far more newbies and awol players out there taking up far more space than the veterans, so go and pick on someone more in your league.

As an inactive player I invite you to clear my cities to clean the land. Any retaliation from my part is not real but inactive latent reactions and can be ignored as inactive players do not react.

Whilst I agree that it is frustrating when players who are far less active prevent the expansion of highly active players, I don't believe anyone has the right to dictate to me how often I should log in. I reserve the right to take a hiatus when I need one and I do recall taking a month off Illy, leaving my account in the hands of 2 very capable sitters.
This is a game, rl comes first, if you come for my pixels then I will destroy yours etc etc -insert various threats of violence and/or sarcastic comments here-

It is a sand box so certain amount of childishness is allowed in my opinion throw some sand with catapult and find out if he is entirely brain dead kid :P or will it throw back. That is what creates activity not having less cities or complaining about it in the forum.
