A Rogue's Life: Strategies for Success in Forge of Empires

As you navigate the world of Forge of Empires, it's likely that you've encountered your fair share of rogues - those sneaky AI units that seem to pop up out of nowhere and wreak havoc on your carefully laid plans. But fear not, fellow players! With a little strategy and cunning, even the most novice of rogues can become a formidable force in this game.

First and foremost, it's essential to understand that there are only two ways to avoid being plundered by those pesky AI units: either set your productions so that you're always on hand to collect them as they finish, or build a city that doesn't rely on structures that can be plundered for production purposes. The latter option may seem drastic, but trust us - it's often the more effective solution.

Of course, not everyone is out for conquest. Some players are content simply to rack up those tower points and bask in the glory of their virtual achievements. And who can blame them? After all, what's the harm in a little friendly competition?

But what about when you're on the receiving end of an attack - and let's be real, it's only a matter of time before that happens to even the most skilled players. So what can you do if you find yourself being attacked and defeated by those dreaded '1+7' rogue units? Well, for starters, you might want to consider building a city on the Continent map instead of the regular game board. On this map, AI units don't automatically attack rogues - which makes the whole '1 real unit + 7 Rogues' strategy a lot less effective.

InnoGames, the creators of Forge of Empires, seem to be aware of this issue, but rather than implementing an easy fix (such as replacing the city defender AI with the Continent Map AI), they've chosen not to address it. So, what does that mean for you? Simply put, it means you'll need to get creative if you want to succeed in this game.

In conclusion, forging a successful strategy in Forge of Empires requires a combination of cunning, creativity, and a healthy dose of luck. But with these tips and tricks up your sleeve, even the most novice of players can become a force to be reckoned with. So go ahead, give those rogues a run for their money - and see just how far you can take your virtual empire!
