There's a dude who just attacked me. Now he is saying for me to give him 50 tech when his slots are open or he'll zi me. Problem is, I'm currently in a one to one tech deal, the guy recieving the tech is in a large alliance, but it's peaceful, and by the time my attacker's aid slots open, I'll probably be in bill lock and anarchy. I know I've done tech raiding in the past, but this guy is like using extortion, and attempting to destroy me. When I tech raid, which I don't do all that often, I take what I need, I use cautious attacks, try not to do anything with missles or aircraft, I just try to take a small amount of tech, and leave it be, then I offer peace. Maybe it's mean, but not as bad as destroying a nation for 4-5 days and THEN making the nation pay. He's also alliance-less.
So, this is where you come in. Anyone posting something like "Oh well sucks to be you" will be reported to a mod. Now I want to know if there are perhaps any small or large for that matter, alliances that may be able to help me. Whether it's loaning me a little bit of aid to get an edge on this guy (He is at about 5700, I'm at 4900, so not that much) or perhaps having one or two people attack him. I just want to last long enough to finish my tech deal, I can take it from there on. I will give further details when, or should I say if, some alliance agrees to help me a bit.
Or, gameplay advice, such as tips on maybe hitting this guy back, since right now he has 9000 defending, and I have 5000 troops in all. It was 12000 defending on my side about a week ago, but I get hit by raiders A LOT, especially during tech deals, which is ultimately the only reason I do tech raids. Anyway like any advanced strategies of any sort, DO NOT direct me to a guide in CN forums, chances are I've already read it, if you think there's a good tip inside a guide the quote it in a post or something. One more thing, do not direct me the foreign aid thread, I doubt that has worked for more than maybe 5 people? Plus I need something that'll work faster.
Now, I guess that's about it. Oh and I just remembered, also, the only place I'm quite a bit stronger than him is tanks, and tech, other than that he's far ahead in aircraft and soldiers.
Also, again no messages like "Well I guess you shouldn't have tech raided in the first place" or etc. Only helpful posts.
Any help?
