Indeed he logs off at night and goes to work in the morning,
Whats stopping him from logging onto the pc 10minutes before he sets off to work to click build on the barracks and walls?

Even doing that...he has 8-9 hours of accumulation prior to those buildings (they won't use it up)..and he will have 8 more hours while at work.
I've seen cities hit for less TBH.
Either way...that's why I was saying that perhaps this isn't a game suited for people with little time to commit in a given day.
If you can't check on it several times during the day, ensure your resources are used up or have someone monitoring your cities status....you become a big target.
I dont know when i go afk i can easily use all my resources up and i generate over 100k of each resource per hour in 5 different citys,
I never get hit either, could that be something to do with having around 10 alliance members right next to me? each with more than 3 citys scattered around the area?
True on the first part...but if you left for an 8 hr job, you would be fat for the plucking! (100k on each resource and all)
on the 2nd part, not everybody falls into those ideal situations of having an alliance all around you. Even teleporting to their state is random unless you get a lucky WoF spin or spend your $$ on an ADV teleport.
I currently have none of his problems, however I know of some who do so I can empathize with the situation.
i've seen limits on who you can and cant attack based on levels in a lot of games. there's a legit argument about alliances going to war though. thats a tough issue.

well, Im not sure why an alliance would go to war with another alliance to beat up on people much lower than themselves. unless the smaller alliance picks the fight, then make them fair game.
I am not a morning person, so I do not log in before work, thats kind of asking alot to be honest. "in this game, if you want a prayer, youd better login at steady intervals every day." well good luck with the middle school, high school, and college crowd lol. hope they have the money to buy tokens.
its not that I have a problem being attacked, it happens, no big deal. but the fact that the attack can wipe out a week or weeks of non stop defense building in 1 hit setting you back to square 1, and with NO defense, they can then just farm you with rounds and rounds of transports, nothing to slow them down after the first attack wave. can heal soldiers, but cant reclaim an archer tower. thats ussually the benefit to defense, you keep a % of the destroyed defenses after the attack. eh
btw, Im at work now. unfortunatly the game just doesnt run at work, the page wont run correctly due to whatever software conflicts are going on. though I can access this forum just fine obviously.
Have you got flash player installed on your work's pc?
Edit: Im not a morning person either, but i make special exception to login in the mornings to just double check everything, all it takes is 5mins.
I suppose it never occured to you that maybe he doesn't have the authority to install programs or upgrade current ones because he's not 'qualified'. He also may not have permission to do those types of actions on a COMPANY computer.
I have a computer at work that will not run Civony and I do not have permission to install or upgrade anything. In fact, if I were to do so behind my company's back, I would be immediately terminated.
Maybe accepting the fact that everyone just doesn't have it as easy as others would help you see that the game needs more balance.

oddly enough, I do have flash though. flash 9 anyway, which should be good enough. but as mentioned, I do not have admin ability to make any changes. Im sure there is something restricting it on my end. but thems the breaks, its probably for the best lol.
the bottom line here is fairly simple though... I should be able to walk away from the game for a day, 16 hours, 8 hours, even 1 hour, and do feel like I wont come back to nothing... 2 weeks of building can be erased 100% in a 10minute march. and I cant do anything, spend all my resources? its a good theory, one that I did practice.
but you presume they are attacking for the resources... or that they might have losses that would atleast set the bar on what resources theyd need to plunder to be profitable.
but when they can walk in and wipe out my defense with a dozen troops lost(and then heal 50% of them), whats it even matter? its a simple case of forward thinking. kick everyone in the teeth to be sure they stay down. wipe out their defense till they bail and then you can farm them freely. if I was a big fish in this game, its what Id do. be stupid not to. its what the game is designed for. why let anyone get a foothold, wipe out their defense while you can so it cant build up to something.
IMO there are 3 types of people in this game,
those that have been hit and driven off from the game due to wiping out their town.
those that will be hit and driven off thfrom the game due to wiping out their town.
the few guys in areas of the map that are the bigger guy and do the hitting.
the setup unfortunatly has only 1 possible outcome, very few long term players continually nailing every new player as they come out of their 1 week protection.
