There's a guy who has a level 20 city on the (marble) island of Chaoeos [21:58], a level 14 town on the (crystal) island of Saeshoios [21:57], a level 16 town on the (wine) island of Repaos [22:57]. He is using the resources on the islands fully, and for all that he's donate a total of 5000 wood to increasing the size of any resource. He's not in any alliance. Would it be unreasonable of me to "suggest" he contribute towards the improving the resources on these island, or face a "tax collection" from my forces? |

Hey I think it sounds fare. If he is not going to play together you might as well collect. lol He is only hurting himself by not contributing. I would suggest friendly requests for donations. I have gotten most of the active players on all my islands to contribute to the island just by asking nicely and asking them to work together. But if that does not work. Then go with the tax collection method. With fare warning to him of course : ) |

Ive done that. I did a little warlike negotiation. I said "I've warned you, and still you have not contributed to our common goal, your donations have been very lax and i demand 10000 Wood increases within a week. My armies await your response" He donated I've also done that to people ive traded with. I sent them a shipment, they never sent theirs. Once they gave it back to me, and once i took it from them. (Yes it was 2000 Wine, i raided them until i got a little over 2000 Wine) When i eventually got all my resources back i told him i was through and thank you for trading with me hehe |

OK, it's been nearly a week since I politely asked the guy to donate, and nothing. Do I threaten to attack - or just attack? Melocopter & Wounded_Puma, you guys might want to participate in this - the moocher is Razvan, and his defense consists of all slingers. He's only got a level-one trading post, so raids won't be terribly lucrative but at this point it's more the idea than anything else. |

me and this guy have had some good relations in the past, he was a former member of A-E before the split and i asked him to join but i never got a response. I did sign a cultural treaty with him back when i went through some of the A-E towns to fill my museums up, but today i cancelled it. I feel like if all hes ever donated is 5000 Wood than hes hurting you guys, and his happiness isnt worth it to me, instead im trading my bobble heads with our new member Tensu ;) In my opinion, on whether to attack or not, look at the message you sent him. If it clearly stated you were going to attack him if he did not comply than don't back down from your words. If it didn't say anything about attack, now is the time to threaten him. Give him a very short time. Say 48 hours. If no change, wail on em And bobilius... nice increase in land troops over the past two weeks, your probably #1 now ;) Edited by Xlixeryn, Jul 1 2008, 06:13.

I have a cultural treaty with him, also, so I hate to attack - but I also don't like the fact that I've dumped more than 150K wood into these things and he just siphons off the results. I'll give him until Thursday to respond to my first note - then send a warning that the donation will be forcibly extracted within 48 hours. |

I've delivered the threat - and he's suddenly started building swordsmen. That tells me he has no intention of paying up. I think I will launch my attack at 1:00pm CT tomorrow. Edited by Boblius, Jul 2 2008, 14:19.
