You will figure out who are the plunderers and those who are wrecking city defenses for points(no foul getting hit for points since you lose nothing so it isn't worth getting upset over just that). That player may constantly be checking the hood on a regular basis multiple times a day. I have seen this in other cities too I leave them alone but will grab what I can to get closer to the completing the achievement.Ī dedicated plunder will take notes on your defense, type buildings, when to strike. Now if I get plundered, I allow it to happened by occasionally baiting my sleigh builders to see who is watching my city and they usually go for it. Early in the game, someone hit and plundered my city took goods I was going to for a trade bad timing. One can't apply morals to a bunch of pixels since it is part of the game. Some think plundering is a d-move or being a bully.

I will go out of my way to plunder enemy guild players(Enemy guilds are based on me and my guild view as hostile guilds and players in that guild are target of opportunity) but all-in-all my stance on plundering is neutral. I don't plunder to be a jerk although I do taunt if that player deserves it because I am being a smart ass. I am plundering to complete the outlaw achievement(once I am done will go back just to hitting for points). I do plunder and have helped players who rationally ask me how to stop me which I happy to tell them. I am sure it isn't enjoyable by that owner of that the city to log on only to find a thief icon over a building after being visited by players higher up in hood. This is why time and time again you will read/hear don't age up too quick. Their cities have building from 5 ages back and are small as a postage stamp. They now are stagnate and vulnerable to get hit and taxed.

I see players in FE and now AF that went thru the ages too quickly.

I posted this on another thread but it would be informative on its own especially for new players
