You started playing recently and he is already in Colonial? You are making the mistake most new players do. You are rushing. This is not a game to rush.

Thanks for that. We've been talking about staying in ages longer.

To say you're being bullied is to imply you are being specifically targeted in some way. You're not being targeted, you've simply made yourself a target.

My city was over 2 years old by the time I got to Colonial Age. That put me #1 in my hood. When I need to attack the hood, I'd start at the bottom and work my way up until I fulfill the requirements of the quest. I suspect most players do the same thing. I have no idea who I'm attacking, I start at the bottom and work my way up.

If you're at the bottom of the hood, expect to be attacked simply because you're at the bottom of the hood. If you are at the bottom of the hood, who's fault is that? Who has the power to fix it?

Sounds like you're on your way, but will suffer a bit more until you work your way up the rankings in your hood. You've rushed the Tech Tree and are now paying the price. Don't age up until you've got a better ranking.

Sorry if it sounded like I was claiming to be bullied. I wasn't saying that. I was agreeing that there are some bullies in the game. Thank you for the helpful advice!

I think this is a very good suggestion. Given the details of your city, the amount of time it will take you sitting in Colonial Age to catch up with everything about Colonial Age is about the same time it should take you to start over and progress properly to Colonial Age. If you choose to stay with your existing cities, everything will be a long hard grind for a long time. It will be hard to dig yourself out of the hole you now find yourself in.

Starting over on the other hand will give you a much more enjoyable experience having a strong city as you progress through each age. It won't be such a grind. Give it some thought.

Thanks! That makes sense.

 

[Mightylor]

No, it isn't. Using that term is the problem.

Think of this comparison... If you were in a battlefield in CoD and people shoot you, would you call them bullies? This is actually a closer comparison than you might think at first glance, since this game was designed around a pvp core.

I agree with what Agent said, you are rushing the ages way too fast. The higher you go, the more established the players you will face will be, and the worse the situation for you. Stop aging up, and start building up your strength. The game will get much easier for you.

1 month 10 days to Colonial, only great building a level 9 Tower of Babel, and a total of 18 battles and 87k ranking points doesn't have you prepared for where you are. By your era you should have a decently leveled Statue of Zeus, Castel del Monte, and Cathedral of Aachen, as well as a few other great buildings like an Arc, Chateau Frontenac, Lighthouse of Alexandria, etc.

As a loose rule of thumb, you probably shouldn't be aging up unless you are consistently in the top 10 in your neighborhood week after week.

You are also sitting in a dead guild, since 26 out of 33 members haven't logged in in at least a week, most much longer. I'd consider leaving your guild and looking at a guild in the top 100 that has open joining enabled. You never want to stay in a guild that doesn't open up all 4 levels of GE every week.

If I were in your position, I'd consider abandoning your current world and starting a new city on another world. Then you could start over and learn from your mistakes, and you wouldn't lose much time or effort. Something to think about.

Thanks for the help.

Lots of helpful things shared, so thanks very much. I do like the players in my guild, so I'm staying there and will continue to aid the fellow members and help the guild when I can.

I would appreciate direction on where those discussions are. I'm new to this game and forum as of only a couple of months ago. In my cursory search, I was unable to locate them.

This is a long message but I advise you read the whole thing.
The forum is a confusing place... a lot of people who get attacked constantly come and whine to the forum... I appreciate that you weren't one of those people. There have been many topics about this. You can look at the page that the Galata Tower Great Building was announced, There will certaintly be talk there. Other than that there will be some threads you will have to dig to find. My advice is to either contact the person and ask them to stop, or send them a friend request. If they are a friend they can not attack you. Once you progress and get better people will be less likely to attack you. Another thing is, are they attacking or plundering. There is a difference, a a succesfull attack does no harm to the person that is attacked... and no units from the defending army are damaged. But a plunder, done after is a succesfull attack is the actuall process of taking your resources (goods, coins, fp etc.), some players will just attack... but not plunder, this has no effect to you as they don't take anything. They do this cause it gets them more ranking points, and if they have the Great Building Himeji Castle, they get a chance to get a reward for every battle they do. So they are just trying to do some attacks/battles.

Hello and welcome to the Forum! If you are up for some reading:

Under Guides, the thread "Understanding why you are attacked and plundered and what to do about it"

Under Questions, the FAQ " Help I am being plundered!"

Both contain good and bad advice, a bit of reading will help you determine which is which

For insight into those players who enjoy attacking and plundering, under General Game Discussion check out "Plunder Progress", a popular long running thread.

Have fun!

Thanks very much. I'll take a look at the info related to the Galata Tower. And it was my husband who was being attacked but not plundered which got us to talking about what I included in my initial post. I did look in the "do not suggest" and "already suggested" areas before asking here.
