I'm slightly offended by this Frrooosty. Wasn't Frosty the Snowman supposed to be nice?
We are in a game. Please remember that.You have to understand, you're dealing with a company (INNO) whose culture is BASED on thievery. They promote, encourage, condone, support thievery because they themselves are thieves. A greedier buch of bile never existed.
On what planet is theivery GOOD? In some countries, they still cut off your hands for stealing, but INNO thinks stealing is GOOD! Daily viewing of the movie "Wall Street" must be required viewing for all employees. This is the kind of company you're dealing with. They take a perfectly good game and RUIN it with a culture based on stealing, these are the morals of these "people" (aka CRIMINAL TRASH).
I wonder if the INNO types teach their own children that stealing is ok, something to be encouraged. They aught to be incarcerated for contributing to the delinquency of minors!
If you think about it, there is really no good reason for the stealing that goes on. They use the euphamism "plunder", which, if you look it up, means "steal", as if changing the word somehow makes it "OK." The terms are synonomous. Any way you slice it, it's amoral and cannot be supported by logic. It can ONLY be supported by GREED.
Considering that many players spend real USD on the game, the stealing is not virtual, it is REAL. This type of criminal facilitation is illegal and these INNO thugs aught to be locked in a room with a key and then throw away the ROOM.
But fret not, a class action suit is in progress, citing INNO with criminal facilitation. You may actually get a chance to "Plunder" INNO! If we can manage to hack the inno servers, we'll just call it "Plundering", because after all, as long as we call it "plundering", then it's OK, right?
But to address your situation, the only thing you can do is this:
DON'T SPEND ONE DIME ON INNO GAMES, not until INNO shows some moral fibre and eliminates stealing from the game. MONEY is the only thing these inno criminals understand, so hit 'em where it hurts.
Or you are one of those players with a level 9 Hagia, and raced ahead in Tech Tree. Get your military defense up to par sparkyMy problem is not so much being attacked and plundered. My problem is the people who attack me are hundreds of thousands of points ahead of me. They have obviously spent a great deal of real money to get their cities to the level they are while I have not spent a single dime on this game and progressed rapidly. It's as if u spend your money on this game you have a distinct advantage. My point is, as in real life those with money have power.

This makes no sense. What in the world difference does it make whether they're barely ahead of you, behind you or millions of points ahead of you? Either you have a problem being attacked and plundered, or you don't have a problem at all. Their ranking points have nothing to do with you. It just means that they have more GBs, or that they've fought more battles than you (which is probably the case, if they're plundering you instead of vice versa), or they've used/donated more goods than you, because that's what the ranking points are based on. Even if they've spent money to do it, so what? Why does everybody always cry about the money players? If it weren't for them, we wouldn't still have a game to play...or at least one worth playing. There would be no updates, no new content, no bug fixes. As another player would say, "Suck it up, buttercup!"My problem is not so much being attacked and plundered.

No actually I have a Castle del Monte that I am trying to level up as fast as possible to strengthen my defenses. I am working on getting good to build another the that provides defense. Feel free to take a look at my city and give me any advice you might have. I only have 3 watchfire and try to get one every chance I get. I am a relatively new player who could use all the help I can get.Or you are one of those players with a level 9 Hagia, and raced ahead in Tech Tree. Get your military defense up to par sparky
Castel del Monte does nothing for your defense, its boosts only apply when you are the one attacking. The Deal Castle and St Basil's Cathedral are the GBs that provide defense boosts for when you are attacked.No actually I have a Castle del Monte that I am trying to level up as fast as possible to strengthen my defenses.

Some might argue that it has a pyshological effect, e.g oh, I attacked him, he has a CDM with a high boost, he will attack me back etc.Castel del Monte does nothing for your defense, its boosts only apply when you are the one attacking.

I guess that's possible. I never pay attention to what GBs a person I attack has in his city. I rout his troops, and then I pillage whatever he leaves uncollected. Then I do the same to the next town. And when I'm done, I go have a beer in a friend's Tavern.

I am right there with you on the feeling crappy after having been plus dered.....I also don'T think it is a cool idea, BUT.....after having been on the receiving end for a while, then...I subscribed to the pprincipal.....when in Rome...do as.....when I started playing FoE over 2 years ago, my neighbourhood changed every 4 to 5 weeks. I would sometimes be at the bottom, and sometimes in the middle, never at the top. This game was fun then. But from June of 2015, I have been near the bottom, and their is only one or two players I could beat. I am attacked daily by numerous players, which takes a great deal of fun out of a game where I can not progress forward as quickly as the ones attacking me, because the goods I need are plundered. Often while I am gathering goods, I am being plundered. Obviously these players either have no life or they are sharing their game so to monitor 24/7. I conclude this because I change the collection time from morning to night to middle of the night to afternoon but to no avail.
Also, the ones attacking me have numerous (35 or more) watchfires, which they obviously earned 3 years ago before I started playing, when acquiring them was quick and easy. which is quite unfair.
I am fine with the concepts that I am plundered, I have done it in the past, but when I have little and sometimes no chance of plundering, this I feel is unfair, especially when during special events, I cannot complete tasks, because a task maybe to plunder. Thus others that do plunder move further ahead.
I understand that a computer is set to combine players together with similar strengths/levels, and sometimes your at the bottom, middle or top, but to be at the bottom for 10 consecutive months is not a fair system.
