As Eden gets bigger, we will find cities and players within occupied areas. While we aren’t going to war with every one of these, many are smaller groups or individuals which can be used as a valued resource.
Plundering is a good way to boost your own economy as it can give a larger sum of resources each day. In fact, for most players, resources lacking and much more important than the coin one may receive from Occupation.
Now we don’t have to be total jerks when we do plunder someone. In fact with the ability for them to set their cities to not resist attacks and take less loses, a diplomatic message can go a long way to help both them and yourself.
Try to notify someone they have been targeted and give them a subtle nudge they might be better off to join us or if not, inform them of how to reduce their losses.
For example:
Greetings Denizen of Golden Age!
Your current location is within Eden’s Kingdom and thus you will be subject to plundering until such time as you depart or join us.
In order to minimize your army losses, we recommend you go to your city Administration Hall and change the defense option to Guard when Attacked. This will make them not resist unless someone attempts to conquer your city.

The above letter would be apt for those players who have larger cities; cities which are good for plunder and would make a good possible addition if they are active.
