Overlord
To plunder their attackers? Every single one of them can get into a position to do that, after playing defensively for a while. If they prioritize right, it won't even take all that long. If they have a head for the battle system, it'll take no time at all.
Rather naïve comment. Against die hard campers they will still not stand a chance.
That specific response wasn't mainly directed at new players, though, but instead answered Chalinna's follow up question to my off hand comment "you're [...] very lucky not to have tried it on me". In other words, it was specifically what I, Einrikr, would do. Even so, there's good advice to be found in it, even for beginners.
No there isn't. All there is is false hope.
What to take of the advise depends on personal preferences. More peacefully minded people would stop at the defensive measures I described, which are certainly available to all.
No they are not. Starting players don't have the silver to buy a city shield.
Rather than playing the game, starting players are forced to leave Militairy Tactics locked and start camping themselves for some time before they can move on. Since most don't know this they just move on to become campers food.
