Okay, so I got pillaged big time over the night. No biggie. He got me. But this guy is checking out the whole alliance.
I'm going to post our replies to one another. Keep in mind to read them backwards. Bottom to Top.
really wouldnt stop me, make it more fun, but increasing your spies makes it almost imposiable to spy. i have 14-17 spies in all my towns

its called a "wave" attack, you send a small army at first to get the battle going, but enough to not lose and not enough to win immieditaly( which happened with you), then send as many action points has you have behind that with enought guys to win. you get 6 raids with one CR report can do that 6 times a day per island comes in handy when raiding a loaded goose

I find your tactics that boarder on bashing, if not technically bashing (I'm checking what qualifies at the moment) very barbaric. Though... good to know that it does increase your score to those levels.
i meant to recall the 2nd one i am sorry, i sent the 1st one away early by mistake, my fault, and i have 6 towns i dont raid for resources i raid for gold resources are a nice addition but unneccesary
