A hostile Army is incoming due in 6 hrs.
 
Since this is only day 8 of play for me, I have a very small Army of Militiamen only.
 
What can I do to ease my impending pain?

Get more guys and build up your city wall...do you have any magic spells working on your town ?

Also use up all your resources to build something and leave them nothing to steal...

Being only a week in the game, I have no city walls.  I don't even have a level 7 Quarry yet.  Close, but not there yet.  In retrospect, I should have used my Protection Period to build only resource improvements and Library.  But that seemed kinda boring so I tried doing other stuff.  It's still kinda boring to just upgrade mines, etc.
 
Will a Vault protect resources from the invading horde?

My assaillant has a Pop=317 [compared to my Pop =101] so I figure he is much more advanced and his Army is likely well beyond anything I could resist even with a few more weeks under my belt - Borg "resistance is futile" comes to mind.
 
Does it make sense to throw a tiny army against him only to get wiped out and give him XP?
 
Should I send my Army away and hope his Army leaves before my Army returns?
 
What happens if I am sieged?  What does a siege do to me?  Can I produce from my own city resources?
 
If I am seiged and bombarded, then am I basically out of the game?

The_Dude.

Are they the incoming Diplos or Military?
You can check it if you click on the Diplos or Military at the topright Unit Movements.

Vault will protect resources yes, but only the amount it says.
You can check it by clicking the vault.

You can send your army away if you think you cant make it.
He cannot siege you yet, because he is too small to have it.

Also, if you have more questions come to http://webchat.quakenet.org
Channel Illyriad
I am there mostly of the time, or maybe other people can answer your questions.

It's an incoming Army, not diplo.  Unknown Size and composition.  Good to know I can't be seiged yet.  My Vault is large enough to protect my resources on hand.
 
So what happens if I have no Army present when his Army arrives?  My resources are less than my Vault limit.  No Walls.  Will I suffer damage to my buildings?

Wuzzel,
 
I'm a Luddite.  I went to the Chat link but I couldn't figure it out.  How do I chat with you when I am in there?

the attacker can't damage your buildings without siege equipment.

in short, if everything is protected by your vault, the attacker will get nothing.
