    Question Bigger Player

    Okay here's a question. Say a bigger player ports in right next to you. You get 24 hours or so notice because of the cool down from his advanced teleport.

    -You have alliance members who can reinforce you.
    -You have speech texts if he gets you down to 5 loyalty (which is when i would use mine).
    -You use compact defense.
    -You don't port away (i hate losing my spots...)

    So other than being reinforced until his troops run out (which could possibly never happen depending on how high his hero attack is) or he gets bored.

    Is there any way that you can fight him off yourself? I realize that your alliance members could attack him all around the same time. However is there any way that one person alone could get a bigger player to back off? Other than just keeping it at a stand still essentially with speech texts and reinforced troops?

    (hopefully this makes sense...)

    i don't know if this was luck or not but my best friend on here was being attacked by a 10mil prestige guy and my friend only had 400k prestige so he whispered the guy and asked him to spare and LOL the enemy said yes since he asked nicely

    Talk to him. Chat him up. Tell him about yourself. Talk about Evony strategy.
    Put a "face" to his enemy, and he may go find a new target.

    This has actually helped me avoid certain destruction a few times. I saw them attacking me, and was like, "Hey there, what's up!"

    this guy is from an alliance that doesn't care --- if I could put the alliance name, it would say it all lol.
    I did try mailing him when he first ported - so far I haven't heard anything back.
    He's just after resources i think.
    Still want him to go away though.

    transport your resources/heros/troops to another city. Let him crush an empty city until he's bored. Move back in when he leaves.

    this happens to me more than 1 occasion.

    When I port to attack there is 2 main goal, plunder plunder, or trophy hunting red city.

    Most times, I plunder, while I was plundering a player with 2 billion food and 30 mil resourcess each and I got an email " hi! how can I help you?, what a big boy like you doing here?" and he was good at rubbing my ego .
    I felt bad and I lose the interest to plunder him to zero, so i left him with half or more of his resources and moved on.
    Ofcourse, i can only imagine what he is saying after i left, what a jerk, fooled him.

    Yup i agree with this, too.

    many players also have multiple server account, sometimes going holiday/ truce because he might be threaten in his other server and felt the bigger threat needs more attention.
    also, sometimes nothing planned works out, like medical or family emergency at the worse possible time.

    Well said, you speak with experience dealing with big players.

    Yes, a big player losses more than troops and even much bigger if he dont play smart.

    Each time he send waves he loses food even faster, and without return, it brings him closer to refugees and few, i mean few players utilize the holidays.

    Why would they truce/ holiday? well when a porting player disturb a hornet's nest, it will be a task of farming, defending, attacking, with a massive army, he needs to farm far more than the player he is attacking, meaning if he is not in control of the situation, he is force to holiday and return when he is in control.
    Anyone ever tried attacking, defending, while farming away? specially with 50 incoming attack at any given time, tracking those attack and timing it so that you are there when it land is a pain.
    This is when a high rate of mistakes happen.



    Unless it is a personal fight and your city is a key or stratigically located near all your alliance member, than chances are he will be persistant.

    Also, most smart players dont continue if there is nothing to be gain, so, if you move your resources and make the fight as hard as you can chances are, he will move on, unless you instigated something and made this a personal fight.

    If he's farming you make yourself less interesting to attack. Have only enough iron and wood for your troops and use them all on building troops before you log off. Make sure your walls are at 10 and full. If he has nothing worthwhile to plunder he'll bore of it and attack someone else. If that doesn't work, port. I know it sucks having to do that, but I was getting farmed as a noob, invested in an ad. port and then built myself up to have troops where hardly noone attacks me.
