    My experience started like this -

    Saw the ads for the game and figured I would try it out and got my 9 year old son to play also. Signed up on server 3 which had been out a little while we were a couple of hours away from each other. We had no real idea what we were doing but we formed a little 2 man alliance and both enjoyed the game building our little empires comparing how things were going. I made friends with a couple of the neighbors and we set our alliance relations to friendly but there was one very powerful neighbor who was silent ignoring any whispers or mail saying hello.

    Fast forward 7 days and about 10 seconds after I signed up. That powerful neighbor launches an attack at each of my cities while I was offline. I thought (at the time) I had a decent army but they were all wiped along with my wall fortifications. I spent several days hiding behind closed gates getting plundered a couple of times a day, every time while I was offline. This went on for a little while until I finally had a decent army built up. I tried communicating with him through whispers and mail again, not angry but just to say hello and see if we could be friends but these were always ignored.

    He attacked once while I was online and I was able to get all my soldiers in the city he attacked and opened my gates. I took heavy losses but won the fight and he left me alone for awhile. I spent that time building nothing but more units. New servers were launched and I decided I would restart there but wanted to give him a little more payback before quitting. So I launched a late night attack taking all his valleys and attacking 2 of his cities (not his main ones as they were too strong) and took one of them which I NPCed. Then I NPCed all but my best city then teleported it away so he couldn't farm it. I did no long term damage to him as he and his alliance were too powerful but at least I was able to make a nuisance of myself.

    ==============================================

    My son's account had similar issues but not as bad. The attacks on him were only every once in a while but one guy started attacking more regularly. One day I was home sick from work, playing his account and my new one on the new server when the guy launched an attack. I talked with the guy and he seemed ok and I explained how the account he was attacking was just a little kid, I told him I wasn't mad just asked if he could lighten up a little. He said he would.

    So the next day I get home from work to find the "nice" guy launching attack after attack trying to take all my son's cities. He said his alliance told him he needed to take them because his cities might be a threat. I asked him how a 9 year old with little army because of the attacks on him was a threat and he had no answer other than. "Sorry, but I'm taking them."

    I threw up a truce agreement and told him that he was a jerk for changing from farming my son's cities to trying to take them 1 day after he learned it was a little kid. I then NPCed all the cities but one and teleported it away with the only teleporter he had.

    Not long after landing somewhere and the truce agreement wore off, the new local tough guy launched attack after attack and I sadly had to tell my son it was time to find a new game to play.

    =================================================

    On the new server I took all I had learned and applied it to make sure I was the local powerhouse, only I would treat my neighbors how I wished my son and I had been treated on server 3. I am in the top 200 in prestige and have a massive army that I easily feed off NPCs and inactives while not ruining others fun unless our alliances are at war.

    My son is now happily playing Mariokart on the Wii.
