Often while I am gathering goods, I am being plundered. 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. But from June of 2015, I have been near the bottom, and their is only one or two players I could beat.

I would sometimes be at the bottom, and sometimes in the middle, never at the top. When I started playing FoE over 2 years ago, my neighbourhood changed every 4 to 5 weeks. You will not get them to change their nature but you can make them earn it. Don't do that! Read Zephyrus Kinslayer and Arduk Kumerin. No one knows when your production comes due unless you let them figure it out. If you are in a neighborhood where attacks happen frequently you MUST change your habits. They don't understand why people do absolutely nothing to avoid it. On these very pages are thoughts posted by players who plunder as a way of FOE life. I'm LMA now and that neighborhood is months behind me but I still follow him because checking his city out is kind of a mystical experience for me. I learned during my daily rout that I can make him need to heal a little and I can make him settle for a few coins from a residence. This person has 7 rogue hideouts with an Alcatraz up 31 levels and was not to be resisted but survived. Zeus at lvl 19, CdM/17, CoP/15 Arctic Orangery/16, Arc/31. This guy was so huge my anger instantly evaporated to be replaced by awe. Until I visited his city and then my jaw hit the floor. Are you really going to let a few bees keep you out of the flowerbed? I bring up Duke.Q8, an HMA player on my EMA neighborhood. It's kinda like all flowerbeds have bees. I've been reading a lot of the posts on neighborhood attack/plunder wish to add my thoughts for the people posting their frustrations.
