A guy (who tried and failed to colonize me) told me he would leave me alone if he could steal my Valley. He absolutely had to have THAT particular valley. Said I had to share. Of course he said that after he launched.

Well I was in a fighting mood since he had been fighting with me all server. So I simply abandoned it Let him fight the valley troops and took it back. Sometimes I killed his troops and if he left it unguarded I took it with scouts. This went on for a week or two but he didnt get the hint. Even though I was at the time in a 5 player ally and his was a huge multi wing multi hundred ally I simply refused to be bullied.

Besides he had yet to win a single battle all server. Why should I ?

Anyway he was reduced to taking the valleys and abandoining them so they went to level 1 on reset

He said "If I can't have them, then no one can" We fought a few more days and finally he did "win" a battle. (I reinforced with cav and ate up his archers bad but technically lost..was worth it)

Then finally others started trying to snatch up my valleys when he abandoned them. Of course they were in another big mega ally that was friends with his ally. So soon I had quite the pot stirred up, because I took those back too.

Then I had the top ranked cheaters (yes they admitted it boldly in chat when threatening me) messaging me saying "don't make me teleport there and destroy you!" LOL

Like they even could! It is age II dummy! Worst you can do is colonize me and while anyone CAN be defeated...I had enough D to make the miniscule resources they would have gotten from colonization take a year to break even!

Anyway I never backed down and they finally gave up messing with me. So far

Funny how people talk so arrogant on the internet in a game. Like they are Gods because they used cheats to get ahead (and probably a pretty fair amount of cash too)
