It can work as a deterrent.

Is it worth having a monastary when no one attacks you!?
Are you asking if it's worth getting / trying for one? Or putting one you already have out in your city? Or keeping one that's already out in your city?
I'd say "Yes" to all those questions. If you have one, you could store it and see if you become someone's target.

If anyone's on Houndsmoore add me Also, anyone on houndsmoor that has a dynamic tower that I can chip in (with a FP swap or something)

Good test if you want to know the effect.

Monastery looks pretty.

I think so too. And unless someone knows what it is, it doesn’t LOOK like a deterrent. But I like the 20% defence boost.

You never know why they don't attack you. Maybe because you have the monastery.
Nicejust build my arc, now working towards Dynamic Tower
just built me Dynamic Tower, now I wonder if I should delay building more in order to level up my current set.DeletedUser
Or it might simply be a nice neighbourhood. But you never know when things are going to change.

The only time I attack people, repeatedly, is if they have no defense at all. I mean, if you're past LMA you got to know and understand the game and know how to put up a proper army to protect your city

Hum, my hood today is nice, only 2 people ever attacked me, all retreats XD I don't know why do they repeat attacks if they retreated last time.

I have a few neighbours like that. I suppose they just find it easier to attack one city after another (and retreat when necessary) rather than try to keep track of who has defenders and who doesn't.

I have a friend who consistently tells me I should put the monastery up for defence. She believes it's a quick fix better than any other defence building (other than levelled GB)
DeletedUser111589
Watchfires and ritual flames are much better than monastery. Monastery being 3x3 building and giving just 20% defense is much lower than 36% of 9 watchfires

I’m happy to have the monastery space taken up until I get my defence GBs high enough to carry cover the 20% it gives me.
DeletedUser110179
I'ld rather have a 10% attack than a 20% defense boost ... quite frankly, I don't put up any defence GB/SB if I can avoid it (it sends the wrong message).
Occasionally, you have a very large neighbour (who'll defeat your city defense any which way) but I rather have a large attack boost so that would-be assailants know that their city isn't safe from retaliation (MAD).
You can't really retaliate against thieves that maintain a 24/7 city defense shield ... but even they aren't beyond the reach of the long-arm of the FoE community ... maybe even on a different world.
That said, I found @ Gotchya Haha's comment about building up in Bronze Age before moving up, quite refreshing
(some people want the benefits of being grown-up without actually, growing up).
Better a tiger in Bronze age than a goat in Colonial age ... but nobody can escape their 15 minutes of weakness.
