Plundering - from Dr.Aborg
The key is to find inactive users partially developed and not in any alliance. So what do you do?
First - click on the map link and look at your neighbors.
Find users with greater than 30 construction points but less than 150 points - these might be inactives.
If you watch them for a day or two and no points change - or even as soon as you find them - drop a spy into their castle.
The best strategy is always to get information first,
only then will you know if you have a good farm (resource generating user)!
To acquire the resources you need to create ~350 raiders.
This number allows you to safely plunder most smaller castles (less than 30 pts) without losing a single raider or cart.
Otherwise, plundering with less will incur small losses if there are any troops.
Finally, build ample carts (~200-300) especially for those days you find the big score and need to get it before everyone else!
