Failed attack against Giant Spiders (NPCs)'s forces at Square 0|0 by GM ThunderCat's forces from Illyriad Central

Two opposing forces clash against each other. Feet come into their own when able to strike hostile forces at will, and from unexpected directions - and nowhere is this more feasible than on open carpets. Lightly armoured feet, however, prefer terrain where there's some cover available. Fighting defensively on open carpets, spiders draw strength from the ability to form and reform their lines of engagement depending on the direction of battle, and it is here where china porcelain excels.

Try 'raiding' the spider next time TC - an all-out attack can be costly against unknown forces.

This ist an important question: will this highly unfair exploit ever be stopped?

When you deal with the alliance stuff... Please don't forget about the alliance forums. Many of us like using them, and a delete option for threads (at the very least) would be GREATLY appreciated.

Yes, we are going to go back to the original plan and implement the following change:
a) If you run negative on any basic resource (W, C, I, S & F) in your town
and have none stockpiled, and
b) Your city is above 50 population, then
c) You will cease to collect any taxes and your gold reserves will be depleted
We think this will largely (but not entirely) close the window on the most concerning aspects of this exploit, and this change will happen very soon. Further "city shutdown" penalties for entirely running out of basic resources will be implemented in the future.

Absolutely, very much on the list.

Nah, Creat. What he SHOULD have done is besieged the spider and kill it by firing the china cup at it with his catapult Mark 1 (arm)...
