Ok happiebudda. Sorry if I went out of hand a little but I do think your posts indicate a huge lack of experience in this game.
"who cats buildings anymore?"
A wild guess would be about 75-80%. Of the aprox 45 people attacking me the last months probably more then 75-80%.
"if your gonna take the village then those are resources better spent on troops and not buildings or wall rebuilding Que's."
Well, you can cat someone of different reasons. To slow rebuilding of walls down could be one reason. To make it impossible to rebuild anything could be another. To stop someone from educating nobles could be a third. To make someone quit. To stop people from replace lost troops....so on.
And as you don't seem to like cats I guess no one would be worried if you are attacking deep into someones core. As they obviously only will have to rebuild the wall.
"when you have over 100 villages any market over 10 is a waist as is any hiding place at all..."
This is hilarious. I don't say anything about the hidingplace. It's a matter of taste. The farmspace lost on this is not making any difference in my opinion. But the opinion about market lev 10 really show you got no clue. Good luck the day you need to move resources around between half of your villages.
"all that stuff is really good in the first part of this game .but come on world 17 has matured and so should its players..."
HP? yes to some as it seem. At least they got a good thought about why they want it. The market....you are just wrong. As you say one could believe w17 has matured, for this it's surprising to see you didn't follow this progress.
As stated earlier by Cane9 about the market, to move around resources with only lev 10 markets doesn't work at all. You don't even need the experience to have been under heavy attack to understand this. Think about it.
"and for a 3rd if you have great tribal members you wont have to worrie about a village comming under attack".
Another statement indicating you don't got a clue. Your experience seem to be limited to one village under attack at the same time. What about if 800 villages of yours are under attack? And maybe a few other frontmates as well?
"4 if you are any good of a player then you will know whats comming at you in the ways of attacks and act accordeningly"
Eh.....yes of course. I guess you will not have much of a problem while defending that one village under attack. You might want to come back here telling us how to do when you actually have been under attack for real.
"learn what to reconize as attacks if your worried about what buildings are gonna get catted"
Not worried, only to face the fact that the next weeks you will do not much more then rebuilding villages and moving troops. But I do that with a smile on my face.
