    asking is good, forcing is not. if your scared someone smaller then u will crush you well ok, threaten to destroy everything they have and make them start over or leave. if that pleases people. I dont see why you cant ask and except if they say no thank you. I plunder and at times ask people to join if they dont i say ok. if they say please dont attack i say ok. Honor and respect. it is a game and its war but its also diplomatic. however some dont care who they hurt aslong as they are #1. POWER is what some seek not playing a game. if its an alliance your bullying so be it but if its members on there own give them a chance, its like attacking defenceless civillians with battle tanks. plundering is one thing people can recover but being bullied, threatened and forced. that abuse. its not real life warfare.

    Well said -- and I believe the entire point Jato was attempting to make.

    I attacked an "inactive" player who came back.. the player send a polite email as to why he was being attacked, I apologized and stopped (as he was inactive). It was honorable -- and I was attacking him unprovoked (he was inactive originally), we were good neighbors.

    THAT is a war game, folks. Declaring war and attacking 1 second later isn't necessarily kosher. It is part of the game currently, and perhaps a good suggestion that war declaration has same 'start' up time as Truce durations... just a thought.

    That's the way it should be, IMHO. On one of the servers I'm on, a neighbor conquered some of my valleys. After I took them back, I attacked his city once as a 'warning shot'. He did it again, I attacked two of them and sent him a letter saying he should leave what is mine alone, and he'll have no problem from me. He continues, and he'll have a big problem. The next move is his - maybe his alliance will declare war, maybe he'll let it go, maybe he and his friends will just try to smash me. Who knows? But I'm not bullying, diplomacy has been attempted, and if anyone has waves of armies headed their way they will know why and if they are smart will be ready.

    And that, to me, is fun. Maybe it's fun for him too! Waking up to find my city in ruins because some random person couldn't wait for his lumber camps to produce, or felt I was a 'threat' without doing anything? Not fun.
