Need help

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I had to take a bit of time off due to RL. Being in the middle of nowhere, I assumed my city would be safe. I had been farmed by Sancheski a couple of times, but I had sent him a message telling him I was active and to please stop the attacks. However, I returned to find my city under seige, and a message demanding 400 livestock every month, which I couldn't make if I tried. I need help urgently. I am located at -506|444.

	man that sounds harsh... I'd smash his armies for you if I wasn't over 600 squares away.

	Probably your best options are: a) relocate... if he destroys your city you can rebuild anywhere on the map and keep your research. b) find an alliance to join that is strong enough to defend you c) speak to this player nicely (because it sounds like maybe he is taking something personally) if he's been offended by something you said then a few kind apologetic words are often all is needed to resolve a tricky situation. but most importantly: d) get yourself some mage tower levels, get yourself the best generic slaying rune you can, get yourself a few basic scouts/spies for diplo defence, spend all the resources you can on city walls and don't keep more advanced resources than your vault can protect, once you have some city wall levels only train basic bow/spear units/.. I know if he is already seiging you then these options are rather tricky to do, but in general for a new player they are always sensible.

	e) send a PM to Iduna of [CURSE]: They've got plenty of assets in your area... if you send a nice enough pm they might arrange to have your agressor "lightly reprimanded"... maybe even they will let you into [curse] who knows? The big alliances are kinda busy with the server tournament right now though so you might have to hold on for a couple of weeks. Edited by Createure - 12 Jan 2011 at 14:36

	I'm sending a "cease and desist" message to the offender. If he doesn't stop, he'll have a war on his hands. (CW) is dedicated to protecting players weaker than ourselves from oppression of all kinds.

	It looks to me like the siege has been withdrawn from -506\|444. I note that the offender is not very large, and not in a large alliance. My expectation is that this has been permanently resolved. "Protection Rackets" are frowned upon by a large number of established players and alliances.

	If you have one of the killing runes available to you, cast it before the army arrives. That will kill a few of them, at least.

	seriously creature how can it be a personal thing when she hasnt been on for a while due to RL issues?? I do agree that you really need to get your mage tower up but it will probs be good to build you an army too, even if it is small. If you have any more trouble from him and not in an alliance yet, send a message to shak requesting to join TT
