Ugh. You guys laugh at cry-mail. And I admit, it is funny at times, but I know how they feel and I hate that position.
However, I have no tolerance for 'bully mail'. For the last 2 or 3 hood switches, I've run through the hood in my IA city with military tactics to see how many have unlocked it and how many have a defensive army sent. I don't have barracks, so I'm using unattached units from the GE. I surrender to everything but the 2 spearmen defense. (Easy points- might as well take them.)
Today, I get a threatening email. I am apparently dumb for attacking his super big and strong city and I will regret it. I told him I surrendered and was simply collecting data on defensive troops and his response was "No, you attacked." He left the conversation after I suggested he watch the battle to see I surrendered immediately.
I think I will attack him every day just to see if I can catch him forgetting to reset his defensive army. Or just to make him mad.
I will be using timers to make sure he gets nothing other than a cottage to plunder.
Jerk.
My IA hood stats for the week:
26 of 74 have unlocked. Only 12 defensive armies- and all but 4 of them are in the top-12.
