Plundering.
It's sad whenever you get plundered, and I'm sorry for your daughter.
Those who posted good comments here already covered most of the basis, but there are a few others things I wanted to add in.
First, I'd add in personal experience: plundering the neighbors was always an easy way to get resources. However, I do think that 15x you quoted is extreme, I never plundered a person more than once a day. I eventually stopped that because it's not worth it to me anymore, I just pillage NPCs now.
However, there are some players who become disgruntled and/or mad at game changes for whatever reasons they may hold, and they take that out as they see fit. If that means plundering your daughter's city fifteen times...unfortunately, that's what it means.
If she (and you for that matter, too) is intent on saying on that current server, I'd suggest you bring her into a large alliance that is very helpful and cooperative. As long as she has an Embassy and has checked the box for allowing alliance members to garrison there, in a helpful alliance those who can will surely protect her city if you speak up in alliance chat.
Also, along with that, I also suggest that if the defensives have all been destroyed, then if your alliance can send a few million of each resource, to invest in one huge order for a single type of fortification. If they're not attacking you with siege machines, I'd say most definitely Archer's Towers.
