My son started playing this game recently and asked me to join him. So I started playing.

We are both 16th level and have just taken over one outpost each.

And we are both being attacked by a 23 and 24 who are very clearly established.

One attack completely wiped out all our guys and we have very little gold left.

Seriously? How lopsided is this game?

People starting up have little or NO chance against a larger opponent who is already established.

How do we destroy our castles? I don't want to leave them and I am not going to pay to win.

    it is a war game so expect to be attacked - however if they wont leave you alone and just keeps attacking you then ask people for help - from what i can see there is no one that likes bullies here
    so ask for help and you will most likely recieve it

    Even though we both won the battle and defended our castles it completely depleted our guys. We have no gold left. Now we almost have to slowly start from scratch to even get guys to hit npc's.

    Asking for help? Someone helping us now won't matter. They don't have to attack us multiple times... attacking ONCE is enough to completely destroy our guys defenders and small attackers while their attackers are to advanced.

    Who builds a game like this? This is beyond stupid.

    Gold making tips for earlier on in the game:
    Build dwellings. This effectively increases the amount of coins produced from tax collecting at the expense of resources. I usually do something else and have the tax set on every 30 min.

    Once you have some coins to get attackers, attack Rober baron castles at lower levels. You won't lose coins from troops, but depending on the distance, you may lose coins on transport. Get some tools, and attack higher level RBCs. You will lose very few men, and in the future, you will make LOTS of money.

    As for these guys, give me your co-ords and I might be able to teach them a thing or two about what it means to be "Powerful" (Granted in that server I am a lower level, but I should still be able to pound them, nonetheless.)

    Tyrael, I checked around your castle (749 away from me) and I only seen one player lvl 23 and its Duran***** and he has no alliance.

    If only you had a slightly larger alliance for support.

    I did see a MISC SikKants (a very stronge and powerfull alliance) and they have a member north/west and he is not far from you (about 9 clicks) he is lvl 35) Perhaps messege him in game and see if you might be able to get some help.

    I could offer some stone and wood to you and your son to help you repair?

    I dont know how far away I am from you, but I could try to help you. Right now Im level 45 with veteran soldiers, so I should be able to get rid of their armies before you get attacked again. If you want help from me, send me an in game message and Ill quickly build an army to get rid of theirs and give you time to rebuild. If they are far away from me, it might take a couple of days.

    i feel the pain too, but none of the higher lvls near me have responded, i was attacked twice in 24 hrs by two players in different alliances and now another player in one of those alliances is moving his castle within 7 miles of me.....I am plundering gold as fast as possible to rebuild my defenses

    Complaining about getting attacked in a war game to the point you want to quit? You may want to play something else. I have been wiped out before and it only made me more determined to build up and get my attacks back on people who attacked me first. I have been wiped at level 20 and again around 30. Then I joined a large alliance and wasn't wiped again till we were in a good size war and soldiers and coin get drained. It's part of the game. If you pay for to much and gain stuff to fast the game gets boring and lopsided. Some people are into that but many like to play fair and on even ground with others like them. This is a long term game and leveling up your castles defenses are critical to long term survival.

    What??? I was lvl 16 once. I survived. Why? B/c I had help from people around me. I got attacked once. If I got attacked more than once, I would grind through it, or ask my friends! Try it :)

    I truly appreciate everyone's response. I have quit the game. My son (anxioushorizon) however is trying to stick it through. He is destroyed time and time again by a guy that is clearly established and can bully him as much as he wants and there is NOTHING he can do about it.

    This guy, Belmont, next to us, constantly hits my son and depletes his forces. In this flawed game there is nothing he can do about it. If I and my son attack this guy at the same time it does nothing as his troops are far superior to ours. He can attack and farm my son all he wants.

    Again, the responses in this thread have been very impressive and you all seem to demonstrate a sense of honor.

    So thank you to all your kind words. I don't want anyone to attack the guy that wiped out my forces in one hit, but if any of you could help my son (as he is still trying to play), it would be appreciated.

    You don't have to attack Belmont just ask him to stop as my son has repeatedly. All my son has received is profanities from Belmont.

    Thank you for showing there is still good in the world.

    lol the guy is in leviathans. That, my friend, may be a game changer for everyone offering to wipe him out

    I was about to offer attacking them, but this info right here made it so i can't

    and have him join a sub alliance of Leviathan, they have tons of sub alliances, that will make it stop, and if that doesn't make Belmont stop, tell higher ranking members of Leviathan

    Disregard. Son came downstairs and let me know he quit (other's with Belmont joined hitting a 16/17).

    Nice game. Bullies and their friends that are way further in the game can pick on weaker just starting players.

    Not worth anyone's time.

    Won't hear from me again.

    Enjoy.

    Hi Tyrael,

    I see Belmont is a member of Leviathan. As I am in a Leviathan alliance, I can tell you now Leviathan, DOES NOT condone bullying, particularly on lower level players. I would suggest that you contact Kasolo, the head of Leviathan to resolve this matter, coming to the forum and posting about this problem, really does not solve anything.

    Regards,

    lordsaruman

    Lordsaruman the problem is as with all alliances that if they don't allow bullying doesn't mean that players in the alliance won't bully. You can't see everything that's just what I'm saying

    calm down about it bro, move you're castle or something, people get bullied all the time, man up, it happened to me in my lower levels, they will get bored of bullying you soon

    You're right we can't actually see anything at all from our alliance members. One of my alliance members nearly started a war by attacking a enemy we had a pact with and i can't see it because he's 40 distance away and i have no reason to travel to every single member in my alliance to see who they attack. Also we are only 15 in some they are 60 and my point is they will break the bully rules and you won't be able to see it.
