UONA'S GUIDE TO BEING FARMED
So you have built up this nice city 1500-2000 points. You have been peaceful not even attacking the two hundred point city in your area because you might hurt their feelings and you have even only asked for a few resources from the farming villages because hey they need to eat too right? However this evil person attacks your city while your offline and you find that the fifty or so of your troops that you build lie dead on the ground and your warehouse is empty. So what do you do?
First off keep calm, Grepolis was designed for people like you to be able to survive and yes even beat these people who are farming you. So what do I do you ask? Following my eight steps should help!
The Eights Steps
1. Research city guard. Militia are incredebly damaging troops that are essentially free for you. They provide 0 benefits to the attacker while taking out some of his troops and yes even providing you with valuable free BP.
2. Whenever you see an attack coming call out the militia and let him fight it. If you are done playing for the day and the big bad farmer hasnt attacked you yet make sure to call the militia before you log off on the off chance that he attacks 3 hours after you log out.
3. Do not build troops! This is an important point. If im farming someone im actually happy that they produce troops. Bp is an incredibly valuable resource that im not sure i have a constant supply off. so if you provide me with 20 or 30 bp a day by producing that much troops ill gladly take it instead of your resources. After all every 300 bp is worth 15000 18000 15000 resources.
4. Spend all resources- Before an attack hits or before you log out make sure you spend all your resources. Ideally the best situation for you is he loses a lo of troops due to your militia while gaining o resources or bp.
5. Only build the following buildings
a. city wall- this increases the effectivity of your militia
b. Farms- Every additonal level you produce gives you 15 more militia to fight with.
c. Temple- for reasons ill go into next you need a lot of favor.
Remember attackers can only destroy city walls so if you have a choice of what to build go for the farm or temple.
6. Change the god you worship in th temple to zeus- He loves the downtrodden.Do not do anything with this favor until you reach 200. Once you get 200 cast the spell bolt at your attackers city. (go to map click his city click on enact divine power click bolt) if you get a message saying you are not allowed to it means one of 2 things.
a. he is under athenas protection- in which case you wait for it to run out and then cast the bolt.
b. Some other kind person has cast bolt on him within the last 4 hours for being a meanie. In which case you then wait till your allowed to cast bolt and then cast it. you have 500 favor space anyway.
7. Join an alliance. You have probably heard that mra's are bad and they generally are. But in this case they will work for you. First they generally dont care that your being farmed so they will let you in. Second they have lots of members who also generate favor. Join the biggest alliance you can. If you can join a 1000 man alliance then do so. It doesnt really matter if your close to them or not your not getting support anyway.
8. Put up a thread in your alliance saying you are being farmed and ask them to bolt your attacker. Most of them would be happy to oblidge as bolting really takes very little effort. Remember if only 1 % of your alliance listen to you thats still 10 bolts a day aimed at your attacker. If you feel there is not enough people who have agree to help you then be proactive and start private messaging random members of your alliance and ask them to help.
