Oh god... your path is clear young padawan; purge the filthy heretic from your guild, and then go all Exterminatus on his sorry butt & plunder the ever living gak out of him!
...also make sure that you age-up just *after* one of those 'hood locking events begins, so now those sorry saps are stuck dealing with attacking/defending armies that are +1 age above them, because fairness in war is for suckers!
I did just that waaaaaaaay back just after the Carnival event began and oh my, what fun times those 4 weeks were!
(note: said 4 weeks were obviously far less fun for my 'hoodies.Lol.)
