[quote="perrinaybarra"]I have been in world 141 for about five days and because in the new worlds it is impossible to farm barbs until you are much stronger, I have been farming all of the 15 or so inactive lord cities in close proximity. Starting on day three or four, every time I successfully scouted one of these inactive cities, it would disappear with the error "We could not locate the target city." I have many screen shots of my scouts returning from an invisible or non-existant city. I also tried farming three players in guilds and their cities also disappeared after I scouted them. When I look at the guild list, they are still in the guild and the roster shows that they have one city, but when I click on their name, their profile shows no city. This discrepancy at the very least indicates an error in programming.

Please address this issue or explain it fully. The inability to farm for the past two days has started to seriously slow my growth.[/quote]

Those are cities that went inactive between our apocalypse scripts (the macro script that runs through a world and proactively removes the cities).

As for farming, yes, we would like players to spend their time interacting with other active players (by farming them) or by teaming up to take out barbarians. My guild in 122 managed to take out ~10 barbs in the first 2-3 days by teaming up. We took that advantage and consolidated the top position in the world. Guild play is much more important now.

When the cities disappear that means they were inactive for at least 3 days in the first 7 days. In order to make sure only active players are in worlds that first initial removal of inactive players happen.

I agree that not being able to know till an attack is sent is not ideal for this. We are looking into ways to just have all those cities disappear right away from the map.

If they disappearing just because 2-3 days of inactivity, then Valor trying to disable farming? What's a point? Today I scouted 10 city's, 9 of them just gone just after landing. . .

Probably because that player was inactive, and we are now removing inactive players. Time to start going to war against real players?

In world 122, I found my neighbor city that I farmed disappeared from the map.
