Attacking People

Ok we were on about this yesterday so I thought lets read the bloody forum about it, staretd reading it this morning and it seems like the Town centre actually has a bloody attack (would help if they specified that before but they never), the town centres attack is higher than a single slinger and that is why you always lose a slinger when attacking, if you do try and attack an inactive then make sure you attack with 2 or 3 to be sure in the attack, on a side note remmeber when sending your units out their upkeep doubles lol.

Well what we need to find out is what role transport ships play in attacks.


According to the online manual:
"Pillage - as soon as all defenders have been defeated everything that is not thief-proof is pillaged. You have 20 minutes to pillage and use the trading ships of your victim to load up the pillaged resources. You also rob gold (City stage x (City stage - 1) Percent) out of the treasury of your victim"

Firstly is this how it works? -Maybe
Do you capture the ships permanently? -Seems to harsh
Can you also use your own ships as well?
If so do warships also transport goods?


If you really do use the enemy ships then it would be a lot more profitable to hit people with ships then anyone else.
