I like the challenge of this game. If it was too easy, it would be boring for everyone. Do i like getting plundered no, but it challenges me to ask myself...what can i do to not get plundered or as often? This is what i love about this game. I use this to improve my city...improve my city defense, level up my great buildings, use friends tavern boost to protect my city, focus on stocking up supplies if im getting plundered a lot, attack them back, friend them, set traps...there are so many ways to improve your city. Do i still get plundered yes, but i wouldnt like this game if it was too easy.
