    Default Attacking Random People

    So I am curious about community etiquette. Is it considered mean to attack other cities randomly? I thought that that was the point of the game. Colonize people, build your empire, etc. I was recently kicked out of an alliance for attacking someone, and apparently that person's alliance raised a fuss. The guy I attacked had more prestige than I do, so one would expect that he would be able to defend himself. It's not like I attack total newbies or anything, though I am myself still very much a newbie. I'm not targeting a specific alliance, and I am mostly attacking people with more prestige than me, so what's the problem? Just a whiny alliance leader that complained to a wimpy alliance leader?

    Most likely they were afraid you would drag them all into a fight the alliance couldn't handle. There are sometimes instigators planted in alliances.

    In general as long as you can handle who you attack..or even the rest of the guys friends..there usually is no prob.

    sounds like your alliance was wimpy, ive had alliances knuckle under like that before and they never last long as anything more than sock puppets

    Yea..I agree--seems like a lack of support from your alliance---I was recently booted for same scenario---attacked a grey with twice the pres(3mil) and later was booted because he was "a friend" to another player---so after he booted me i wiped the host and VH---it's only fair, cheers!

    That's the problem, and eventually you will find someone who not only hits you back, but calls in their friends and has some fun with your alliance. Even someone you can knock over easily can have friends that will nail you and your alliance to the wall in retaliation.

    If you want to play lone cowboy attacking high prestige players without taking into consideration what might happen to your alliance because of who you attack, then you don't deserve to be in an alliance. If you simply don't care, then you definitely shouldn't be in an alliance.

    I have a feeling you aren't telling us the whole story.
    But....the eternal ray of sunshine REALLY wanted to see you, so I helped brighten your day by removing the city from around you! ^.^
