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.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.

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

The Warehouse only protects a small fraction of your goods. Upgrading it will protect more goods while expanding your overall capacity at the same time, you will always have unprotected goods.

I have lost too many damn spies. I send out a spy and over 3/4 of the time they are discovered as soon as they enter the village, I don't even get a chance to send them on a mission.

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%

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.

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.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Get 18 total and throw down waves of 6x3 or 9x2.
