Since when is Illy compared to Eve? In my opinion Eve is newbieunfriendly beyond comparision with a learn or die strategy. And someone likes to settle, build and be peaceful.
If you like war so much attack someone and get out in a flame. Simply stay away from those of us who don't like your "war war war"-screaming. Even the tourneys are boring because they are only dealing with fighting making the diplomacy units somewhat of a wasted sidekick apart from quests and the occasional mystery.

Strange that you have missed the point of my post SD.
I do agree that Eve has very steep learning curve (but its player skill steep rather then just xp) but both Eve and Illy are a sandbox open world pvp games and you only need to read what devs say about the game to see Eve being mentioned, hence the comparison.
The whole idea of my post is to remove some barriers to conflict, which would allow the freedom for all available options to be explored by players. Among other things it would allow use of diplomatic units without the fear of whole GC sending sieges to you when your friendly intentioned diplomats are caught in somebody elses city.

I don't think that the devs are right then because the community did render the pvp-part unacceptable which in my eyes is the best thing yet. I played other browser games with the sole focus on beating each other. That is boring. If you like such kind of game play something else but not Illy.

And the whole point of my post is against that because I dislike your efforts to make Illy more similar to allmost ALL other browser games out there where such practise is common. I am quite happy that I am able to play peacefully and unharassed by bullies like you.

You don't lose the research in your last city, do you? Therefore should be much, much easier to rebuild in Illy than start new...

How will research help a city to build up from 0 pop? I cant really think of any research that would give an advantage for growth. The warehouse research may give the slight advantage of not having to build a storehouse. You still need the required building levels to train units and you can get geomancy spells from any nearby player. Are there any other advantages?

Ander, it helps not having to wait on research to open buildings. It's not a huge benefit, but it is something.
Most players that are sieged to 0 pop leave Illy or start new accounts and try to hide their connection to the "destroyed" account since a 0 pop siege-out usually is the result of some seriously bad-blood between the combatants.

He's right. Most wars don't go that far, it's when you've sworn to destroy each other because of a seriously bad insult or whatever that you siege all of their cities- and if you leave the weakest till last, the city may well not get many extra researches and you're starting pretty much afresh- but with a sworn enemy on your back, since someone who's destroyed all of your cities likely is not going to stop whilst they watch you re-grow, it's virtually impossible. People are far more likely to leave than try to persist in their efforts, although many people DO start a new account.

Back when I was in GOON we used to siege people from largest to smallest, to leave them with as little as possible. So really only 10 city (or 9 if you stop there) players really get the full benefit of that.
