Harvesting Code of Conduct:
1) You are welcome to harvest any resource near my towns. No sense it going to waste. No need to ask permission. If my harvesters get off their lazy butts and if they decide to do something, they may bump you. If you bring an army, they just might bring an army.
2) At any time my harvesters might be found gathering whatever is not occupied. Never will they intentionally bump someone who is already harvesting although it has occasionally happened because of timing, stupidity, or inebriation. Feel free to bump them, but never kill them please.
3) If you have any conflict with my harvesters, just let me know. I will gladly send you the harvest. I prefer my harvesters out working for you instead of sitting at the tavern drinking my beer.
4) This is a game. If mutilating my harvesters with your army adds to your enjoyment of the game, go ahead, I really don't mind. Beware of reprisals.
5) If you claim that previous occupation, seniority, phase of the moon, bad movie reviews, psychological problems, lost pets, or a nasty disposition gives you an exclusive right to a plot, please refer to Code #3 or #4.
Please don't settle within 10 squares of my cities. If you want to harvest on my sovereignity squares, please ask first. Nobody like to see people in his garden without permission. I don't mind sharing, especially with regard to rare resources. Please also be respectful if you see hides anywhere near my city. My commanders work very hard battling those beasts and don't want to share the rewards. If we base ourselves on the basic rules, all the resources in the 5sq are yours, the others are the property of everyone. if there is no occupation, it is free to be harvested.
In the event that you voluntarily eliminate my harvesters, I will send an army in retaliation
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. -

Remember: Illyriad is just a game, the most important rule is to have fun!
