Pillaged!

I became too complacent in Ikariam and my capital was pillaged. The attacking force was very strong, so I doubt that I could have prepared for that level of assault. My problem is that I'm a little bored with the game since I'm not hugely interested in empire building strategy games. I prefer to play Rommel or Montgomery rather than Hitler or Churchill, in terms of game scale.

I got an offer from an alliance which I decided to join just to see how that part of the game works. Maybe it will renew my interest a little.
