Corruption is a serious impediment to civil liberties.
You need to make sure you can defend yourself, fighting back against bottomfeeders is easier than it sounds. The biggest mistake you can make is having big explorers and T/Ms on top of the kingdom, that's free acres. Also make sure you have enough offense to deter them from attacking, low offense means they can hit you safely.
As for multis, that's an entirely different matter and calling in outside assistance would be warranted if the proof is conclusive enough. You're not allowed to post locations on these forums, but you can send them in PM.

Or raze you to the ground, with the help of their alliance. Ah, sometimes you just can't win.

lol Hurlin, you *really* asked for that one ;)

ps, oh and yeah, Hurlin has a point, wouldn't it be very interesteing if they shaked things up and brought back Land based gains?
Here is what we do, as an independent kd:
1. I send a diplo to the Monarch of the bullying kd, telling him/her we will cripple one or two of their provinces, if they continue. I also try to convince him/her that will make them lose time and energy.
2. We hold our own armies at home, and don't retal (keep us peaceful to them, and them from Opping us);
3. Once they brought theirselves unfriendly or hostile to us, we
- Cast Greed and MS on their Humans, Orcs, Dwarfs and Gnomes;
- We run Focussed FB/Tornado on the attacker or A/T hybrid with least WPA;
- We run focussed NS, or AW on the attackker or A/M hybrid with least TPA.
The experience is that often, they stop their attacks, because they are losing time and energy indeed ;)

This is a game, not a job...
That is not true you just have to manage the networth of your province. Last age I was in the top 100 for land and net. The next biggest province in my kingdom was just over 1k acres. I got attack by one of the biggest guys in the game. He took 300 acres and when I attack him I took over 900 acres. My networth was low, however, my province still had high dpa and in order for him to attack me he had to send everything he had and that made it easy for me to attack him. You have to know what you're doing. Make it so if somone attacks you can put some hurt on them.
Mirage, keeping armies at home simply means they get to farm you out. If you have good thieves and mages, why not sabotage the enemy while hitting as well? If I'm faced with the reaction you're suggesting, I'll simply order my kingdom to go all out on the kingdom in question until I'm satisfied with the outcome. If no counter attacks are made and we still get sabotage, I'll consider the enemy kingdom both foolish and weak, making me even less inclined to CF. Sabotage AND attacks can succesfully deter me from trying to bully a kingdom that has provoked us, though. If they do it well enough.

For that matter, I've often been on the receiving end of a farming attempt. Sure, having a credible threat of being able to cripple the enemy long-term in hostile helps a lot and we'll do that when we can. Of course we'll combine that with attacks.

LoC fed off us last age, we couldn't retal cause anyone who did got attacked another 10 times so we all had to take it. therefore Mirages idea wouldn't work.
Engage in war.
If you are significantly smaller, war them!.
There gains will be crappy, they can't raze-kill you. Eventually when you won't withdraw they'll withdraw themselves. Otherwise they lose honor and time exploring and attacking other people.
You have to be prepared to give up the next 2 weeks in rebuilding ;) xD
to deal with bottomfeeders, u stack urself with GS and hosp and suicide back. if u r good and active enough, guarentee their whole kingdom will have a really difficult time dealing with u
Bottom feeding should not be possibel at all.
why not? because you cant deal with it? bottom feeding already has drawbaks to it, less gains, more losses and longer attack times. you would like to force everyone to topfeed? then we'll see ppl complaining about not being able to retal small suicidersOriginally Posted by 010101
learn to play correctly please.
