Maybe that's why I'm not getting any loot, my army is following my "revised" 8th motto of "burn then pillage"

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
I'm a bit confused. I sent three slingers to an inactive level 1 town on my island. The Military advisor had a combat report which stated the victor to be the inactive town. The town has no wall and no army. How did I lose?

Yeah, I'd like to know more about how battles are actually worked out so that I know how many troops to secure a 100% (or close to) victory. The FAQ is a bit vague to help you work out what the odds are for you in battle. I started a thread on the official Ikariam forums about this, but haven't seen anything helpful yet. I'll let you know if anything more detailed comes up, I kind of doubt it though.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Thanks, at least I know now that my fledgling army weren't the only ones that couldn't figure out what to do when let out of their own town!

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Grimm, they may have had an army. the combat report should say what happened. I have a post about how I handled a battle with a high level town.

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

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
In other news. I am flexing my heightened military muscle for the first time. That jackass that pillaged me on my original city has gone inactive so I figured it would be a perfect time to strike.
Sent 20 swordsmen, 20 phalanx, 6 archers and 2 battering rams at him.
It says the battle is still in progress, but I've only lost 2 swordsmen, 2 archers and one of my rams.
He only had 15 units stationed in town and has already lost 9.
BWAHAHAHAHA
EDIT: I lost 1 phalanx in the next round. He was left with 4 units. Plundered 1500 gold, 1300 wood, 200 marble, 450 sulfur. hehehe.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Why does my blockade option not show up when I want to attack? And since its not there i attack with ground forces to only have them turn back around. This has happened a couple of times to different cities. I wanted to send 6 ships to blockade and rape what was left of the town. In stead a have a large war bill with nothing but seasick soldiers to show for it. What is going on and what do i need to do to have my happy finish?

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Blockades don't seem to be available against inactive towns. I never get a blockade option with inactives.

Re: How to pillage like a man and how to protect yourself.
Besides colonizing which wouldn't be cost effective I don't think people from off the island can get to them.
