Attacks within Clan

A little more thought into, maybe the better fix is to allow attacks between clanmates, but they never draw runes.

Both kind of attacks should be forbidden..
I don't see any problem with attacking clanmates, it's the unfairness of abusing rune protection or using it for a ladder system.
Therefore, any attack that is suspicious should be reversed by a moderator.
I know this is a lot of work for the mods, but then again.. that's why they are here.
I also see no use in sending runes and resources or weaponry to any village that is bigger.
There is no use in runetrading, the game would be more balanced if there was no trading in runes and no sending of resources to higher players.
The sending of weaponry or armoury should be completely disabled to prevent large players with a small outpost gaining even more power on smaller players.

I'll be fine with legit rune trading.  I think there is a healthy debate whether Dolumar is an individual's game or a team based game.  If you subscribe to it being a team game, then rune trading is almost a necessity.  It would be hard for villages which specialize in anything other than troops to gain runes to continue growth without it.  Same goes for weapon trading.  Without weapon trading, everyone is forced to spend obscene amounts of runes on weapon and armor smiths, and iron for upgrades.  Again that comes down to the perception of individual vs team. 

I think a shift towards individual would further shrink the already too small player base, so I would argue that those items should remain as they are.  And yes, give us a way to destroy old equipment.  We can't even trade it off to offline villages anymore.

Legit trading is something we all could aprove off, but then there needs to be a trade standard.
For example:
1 water rune = 2 other runes.
Any trade up or down is fine
In case of sending runes up to a player who is higher ranked and there are no runes of the same value transfered down this would qualify as pushing and should be punished.

Same for gems, iron, food and gold...
Depending the amount of resources in the game the value should be easily determined.
I was thinking the same ratio's for gems as the storage but iron is the exception.

Sending weapons and items to other people is no problem, the problem is the overpowerd outposts.
Since you can have an outpost with a value of 3K with 700 gual (just an outpost, 1 barrack and stables, no farms since the main will provide all other resources needed),you are allready overpowered and not balanced at all. Having full plate 10 armour or sabre 10 sent to you from a clan member or your own main makes it so that you could attack villages that are 4 times your value.

It's not, on stable there is no option to send resources up, or weapons, and there are clans there as well.

Anyways, it's game mechanics that are used to avoid rune loss.
Works like a charm, easy to do, all within rules and regulations.

But it does need to stop!

True, they did not intend it that way..
It was intended to prevent a village being leveled over night, and i mean leveled like going from 10K points to 1k.

Anyways, that's not really the point, it does need to stop..
It's just that limiting the game options does not make a better game.
It might be better to enter some new code that balances the game, create some new rules that give mods the power to act against anyone that doesn't live up to the spirit of the game.
As it is now everyone is capable and free to use whatever game mechanics allow.
I would like to see that abuse gets punished.
Any kind of abuse, attacking lower ranked clan members to ladder up runes, attacking clan members to put them in rune protection to avoid runes being stolen, sending anything UP the ranking, laddering runes up within the 25% value (it's only there for trading, not for laddering), destroying buildings to be able to hit on a smaller target while sending runes to another player... and to recieve them back after the hit, sending runes away to avoid honor loss, sending runes away to make sure you win the maximum amount of runes possible (10% of total with a 100% win) and so on....

When mods know this is happening i think they should be at liberty to punish a player with a ban for 2 days (not being able to log into the game) and force them to vmode for 2 days. Ofcourse the benefits from the foul action should be reversed as well.
If it would happen again the player could be banned for another 2 days, this time without vmode making him a sitting duck.

Ofcourse this would demand a lot from the moderators, but hey... that's what they are here for
