Players attacking over and over

I am reaching the point or utter frustration and leaving the game for good. There is one player that does nothing but attack me. Over and over and when online scouts me non stop so I can't even get troops built because the second I finish unless I sit and watch he wipes them out. I don't see this as a fair tactic because he hides behind the fact he is on the #1 ranked alliance in the game. I have no recourse other then to quit playing or start a new account and play on another server.

What if anything can be done to stop the harassment of a single player that it is ruining my game experience. I am tired of daily rebuilding turrets and traps and trying to build troops only to have this jerk wipe me out again and again. I thought once alliance Wars was added it would stop but it has not.

Re: Players attacking over and over

I suggest you hunt your troops.

When troops are hunting in an oasis, they may not be killed by any player. The only way they may die is by starvation.

I would advise against impetuousness in this situation. It sounds as if you are new to the game, and therefore you should take time to learn the game and devise strategies before quitting. One of the things that makes this game great is the interaction between players. A major aspect of being successful is how you deal with other players, and how you present yourself to the world. Dont fall into linear thinking, and assume that this person attacking you has malicious intent. I highly doubt they wish for you to quit and/or have a negative gaming experience, it's simply part of the game. Have you tried corresponding with this individual and pleading your case? Remember that your approach to this situation will affect how you are viewed, and shrewdness may be called for.

Re: Players attacking over and over

Actually have and not in a bad way. I asked nicely why and I was trying to level up and enjoy the game. So the harassment picked up. I understand the hunt your troops but when this player is online he is scouting me constantly if I have over 200K goods or any troops he attacks. The final straw for me was yesterday I had 1K troops being built. I left work to drive home and in the 20 min it took to reach my house he had scouted and wiped out my troops. His reply was hunt your troops. So after waiting 12 hours to build my troops I guess I should of stayed late at work for them to finish and not for a second think that they would finish as I was driving home and I could send them to hunt after the commute.

I thank you for your reply I understand the game and how it's played its goal etc... But being the constant fodder for just one player who is acting very childish. Is not good gamesmanship. To scout me ever single time he is online to see what I have for him to plunder.

If I can't even manage to build up troops how am I to protect myself. I don't seem to be bothered by other players?

Re: Players attacking over and over

Then maybe you should fight fire with fire.

Take all of his oases every day. This can usually be done with a single cav unit.

Scout his troops diligently. If you can't kill them, give his Coords to another general, one in your alliance, perhaps.

Let your alliance mates know this guy is harassing you. Perhaps they can help. If not, maybe find a stronger alliance to join.

Before logging out, sell all your resources so they can't be plundered. If you need to save them, sell at a very high price, so they won't be bought. Cancel the trade when you log back in to get the resources back.
If he attacks while you are logged in, use all resources that you can and donate the rest to your alliance, to ensure he can't take them.

Keep building traps. You get prestige for it and it kills his troops when he attacks.

Of course you get out of this game what you put into it. If this fellow is spending all his time scouting for troops, it is likely he is earning more prestige than you. This is natural. How can you avoid your troops coming out of production when you aren't prepared to attend to them? Get a calculator. Determine the build time in advance and decide how many To build so that they come off the line when you are ready to hunt them.

To be successful, you will have to master troop creation and build yourself an army. Only then can you truly take control of the situation. Once you have an army, you not only have the element of surprise, but you can proactively engage your enemy.

In the meantime, try upgrading your scout level until it's max level. Likewise, upgrade your cranny to protect resource accumulation while you are offline.

To be honest, I can not sympathize with your plight. The options you have are virtually limitless, and cannot be listed in full, here. If you intend to stick with the game, you must be clever, and resourceful. Consider his level, whether his cities are upgraded. Does he keep his subs hidden? Can you find them and reveal them to a friend to steal? Don't forget, he may only attack your cities 5 times in one game day. Figure out when he is active, and attacking you. Devise your strategy around this. It doesn't require much to cripple someone when they're offline, as you well know.

Now I'm rambling, so good luck, and I hope you stick with it and give that jerk a what for.

Re: Players attacking over and over

Here's the deal it's a WAR game. If you can't cope with being attacked use War refuse or the tactics taem has outlined. Leaving your troops out for 20 mins is still your own fault get used to it. If you can't cope then maybe this isn't the game for you but that's the honest truth.

Ps sorry if I sound harsh
how do you let people know if your hot cakes are selling well?

Re: Players attacking over and over

Thanks Taem96 Lots to think about and build on. I don’t feel I can out right attack him I can do as you say but he has the #1 alliance backing him on my server so I risk one pest to an alliance of them.

As for Nathon05 I have your take on this on other threads and you sir are exactly what I see as what is wrong with the Youth today. Easy route always pick on the weak knock down them down to build yourself up. No sense of fair play or accomplishment just fastest and easiest right. If you can’t hack it leave then get out because that’s one less person to challenge your superiority.

Sure it’s a war game so lets find the easiest target and pick on them and no else and keep them down and under my thumb so they can’t rise up. Because that’s what it’s about right knocking down the weak over and over till they leave. I am sure Haypi loves paying customers leaving so you can feel better then everyone with your pest like Tactics. If he was so great have him pick on someone his level or greater strive to be better then someone his equal. No it’s easier faster better to prey on the weak and never have to worry about retaliation because he hides behind the #1 Alliance.

Re: Players attacking over and over

welll youll find that in war the weak are the first to go...just for being honest with you, man up a little and do whats necessary there is no need to generalise about the "Youth of today" as i am not that young myself. each person tactics are different his may be to pick on the weak thats his choice. you have to deal with it whether you like it or not. i also offered you a further option of war refuse so before you jusge me and call me a "pest", you dont even know me. your beginning to sound like a whinging child yourself. i used to get picked on just like you but rather than complaining i modiffied my tactics, and progressed eventually wiping my harasser. i found that his constant harassment turned me into a better player

Re: Players attacking over and over

Well playing on a Windows Phone 7 there is no easy way to obtain Coins or buy them. Some weird email to PayPal setup that as I read ends up to lots of money missing so why bother. As I have no coins refuse war is not an option and I am not about to lose money to a game that is losing its enjoyment factor.

Sorry I am not about to call people out but your take really burns me. It still stands up his tactics is prey on the weak? It’s a game to have fun and challenge. Unlike real war where lives are lost and after a few times that cities town either moved or no longer existed. So is that the game Haypi is wanting to let the elite prey on the newbs until they leave then fresh batch? Or maybe the elite could practice on each other. Which goes back to No because that would be a challenge and to tough to gain levels that way its easier to prey on lower levels and gain it the easy way.

No whining at all but yes as enjoyment slips away from unfairness of one player then why bother right. Change tactics several times spent time upgrading resources spending money or better turrets and trap upgrades. But as he levels up and takes mine it’s an uphill losing battle.

 haypi don't let you get attacked for the first 7 days or till you get to lvl4.

He attacks you for a reason. If you take away the reason he won't attack.
Simples :)
(eg easy res, easy pp, or you have annoyed him)
