Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Pillaging gets much more fun, once your able to train spies, then you can find out if its possibly worth it.

No, if your warehouse covers all of your resources, they're untouchable.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
The larger the city, the less chance of getting caught. Stop spying on those level 1 towns

I only send spies if detection is <40%-F-

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
The percentage of unprotected goods will always be a low amount. It's a shame, and I think it should be a much higher number, my warehouse is a level 4, and still only protects up to 380 wood, and 190 luxury resources. Total capacity is 6,336|2,352.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
You really dont need to spy on a level 2 town. Just do the pre-planning (casing their workers on the sawmill / luxury) and invade them with 10-15 slingers if they look ripe and you should come out on top.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
I also had my first pillage experience go this way but did not consider it a success. I have however (just maybe 5 minutes ago) made my first successful pillage of an inactive village. I noticed it was inactive and as suggested by ikonic checked his mill worker count and it was maxed out at 52. I immediatly sprung into action and created a third slinger. 13 minutes later my troops were on their way and came out unscaved with 200 wood in hand. Now when they return in 20 minutes can I just resend them back to the town to rinse and repeat?

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Yes, it sounds liek hes a level 1 Trade Port. If thats the case, stagger your slingers in waves.
Example:
Send Wave 1 out.
25 minutes later (or however long it takes to arrive + 5 min), send wave 2 out.
What will happen will be the first wave will pillage 200, then 5 minutes later you will pillage another 200 from him while wave 1 just returned to your town.-F-

Get 18 total and throw down waves of 6x3 or 9x2.
