true it can be a pain, but it's part of the game, this little tribe we've been knocking heads with keeps nobling 100-1000 point barbs or inactives as we noble off their bigger villages, not worth taking...but a darn nuisance to just leave lying around. we leave em alone & move on, sooner or later we forget about em & they rise up from the ashes while we're fixated somewhere else effectively forcing us to fight on a front & our middle. something ive done in previous worlds- nice big barbs in your province no ones catted? well rather than take one at night while you sleep, why dont i take 3? sure you can nab one or 2 before i get a church up, but you wont be taking all 3 from me, & il have support land right after the church is done. theres alot of folks who take a bunch of barbs then brag, dont worry about these folks, they usually go inactive as soon as someone half their size takes 1 or 2 of their villages, theres good & bad that come with it & alot of people take advantage & try to use them to fluff up their numbers....read their bash, thatll tell you all you need to know about how they play
