I have been playing empire for 6 month now or something like that. since then I used to get the odd robber baron attack. nothing i could not handle.
lately, they have been going over the top. i mean really constant attacks.
I am not upset about the attacks themselves, I am rather upset that these attacks are really depleting my ruby defense tools. for a second it sounds like game designers are using this feature to get us to buy more ruby tools!!
am I missing something here?

You are right they don't leave us alone, I have to remove tools every hour, they said they are going to reduce the attacks in next week's update

Same here man, i get attacked as soon as i log on & atleast 2 times a day. And also how do these level 1 Robber Baron castles have such strong soilders? Shouldnt they have the basics, instead they have heavy crossbowmen & two-handed swordsmen.

As Xjadetsssx has said, they plan to reduce the robber baron attacks on the next update.
However, they've said this twice already, and I only see them rise... Major issue for ruby tools players.
I agree with you entirely on that.

Don't use ruby tools on your waves. In certain situations, there will be an event called " King of the Robber Barons". If you manage to sucessfully finish it, you get 1week worth of protection form robber barons. Robber barons, no matter what lv, will have soldiers scaled to your LV.
Here are some tips to futher defenses of robber barons.
1. Move all offense soldeirs to ouposts, they'll be safer there, as robber barons only attack yourt main castle.
2. If you are only going to be online for a few minutes or so concentate all defense soldiers on your main gate, that way you can combine the power of your whole army on just one wave, taking out the flank attackers in the courtyard.
3.Get allaince members to send you some longbowmen and haliberdiers for 12 hrs, it should be enough to keep you safe.
4. Constantly change your defense plans once the robber barons come in range, you can see thier attack formations, ajust your defenses to counter the attack force.

wow, I didnt know that thanks (we really need a sarcasm font), vassa is right, is annoying having to remove tools or losing them and even more annoying if they are ruby tools

My advice ; Don't deploy your ruby defensive tools when you are not playing .
It is better to create a bunch of non-ruby tools and deplaoy those when you are logged off .

I mean do it the other way... Be smart!!
I think U have to take and pik what U like, buld new soldiers use no tools, build some use ordinary tools, if U will WIN get rubin tools, Those robbers are EASY but do not take U troops out I`ll kill attackers more easy. So to take them away so bad idea, but I like if U all do so, I`ll kill U all then, never 100% front bad, bad idea for all defenders, not atackers!!! Look and think I say no 100% attack robbers and learn...how to kill them:-)

I don't have a clue what you mean by "I think U have to take and pik what U like". Please try to say things that make sense.
Using tools is very helpful and effective. You cannot earn ruby (or "rubin", as you called them) tools from RBCs.
RBCs at higher levels (or the equivalents in other kingdoms) are not easy at all: maybe you should get to a higher level before trying to give advice so you know what you are talking about.
I don't know why you were saying "I'll", implying that you could do something to help him defeat an RBC - you cannot.
You seem to have made a death threat - "I'll kill U all then". I don't think that is very nice or very useful.
Ocassionally, it is good to send 100% of troops in the middle - on a level 1 RBC, for instance.
I don't think you can talk about tactics - you don't seem to be older than 5 years old IRL, based on your terrible spelling, non-existant grammar and ridiculous ideas and thoughts.

Okay, instead of trying to respond to your message, since you clearly don't understand English very well, I think I will point out a list of flaws in your message:
1. The word "hello" should be spelt in full lower case, or with a capital letter if it is used at the start of a sentence (like it was)
2. As with letters, there should have been a comma after the word "hello". A full stop would have also sufficed.
3. "U" is used as text chat. We are not in a chat room, this is a message not a text and the only other excuse for replacing "you" with "u" would have been if we were close friends - we are definitely not.
4. "Always" is the correct spelling there is not a double "l".
5. Whether or not you like robber barons is irrelevant.
6. The fact that robber barons give coins is not a contributing factor to whether or not you like them. If I gained 10,000 coins from a RBC, but lost 20,000 coins worth of troops, would that be profitable?
7. I am helpful; you are not. If you disagree then provide a valid argument.
8. If you want this conversation to end then you didn't have to reply.
9. You used completely incorrect grammar: you missed out the entire word "are".
10. You should have used a semi-colon instead of a comma.
11. "My agents had got it in" means nothing.
12. You should have used a comma instead of a full stop.
13. "Offcorse" should be two words.
14. The correct spelling is "course", not "corse".
15. The word is "good", not "god". God is a completely different can of worms that I don't really want to open, at least not in this forum.
16. The word is "alliance", not "alliense".
17. Again, you have used "god" to replace "good". God is not a valid argument for anything, because billions of people don't believe in him.
18. "Buhu" is not a word; I think you meant "boo hoo" (which is two words).
19. You entire argument makes no sense - I'm not even going to try and fix that grammar (not that there would be any sense in the original point anyway).
20. You added part of your post inside my quote box.
21. I don't really understand what you mean - "I will then" makes no sense.
22. None of the definitions for "vice" does not seem to make sense here.
23. Yet again, you failed to understand what the quote box is. It is for a part of someone else's post that you are responding to, not something to add your own (completely stupid) sentences to.
23. The word is "crazy", not "crasy". I think you are the crazy one.
24. You didn't really finish your sentence - or what?
25. That was an excessive amount of question marks - 1 would suffice, not that there was a proper question anyway.
26. Please do not speak in a foreign language on an English thread.
And, the most important reason of all:
27. You didn't actually reply to any of my points with a valid reason, excuse or even a proper response.
So please grow up, or get lost. You're hopefully going to get yourself banned from here for false quotes, using a different language, providing false information and for making death threats anyway.

No, I think U are right, they need more money now, Euro down so it is more and more atacks so we all can pay for it...
U can drop tools and lose more soldiers, but the hole idea is by rubin tools and give them money;-( to Germany whit BUGs.

just put non ruby tools. lots of them. hide your ruby tools then if you see incoming (player attacking) then you can replace it with your ruby tools..
useful for players who are online most of the time.
just my 2 cents
