Your pillages are now limited by "action points." I believe that you get two "actions" per week until your town hall reaches level 5. I could be wrong as to the specifics, but there are definitely limitations.
I just got my battle report. I won with no casualties. So now let's hope I get some good stuff.
I'm playing too and I ask to be a member of this secret Ikariam sosiety.
I'm at the island of Worytia [43:93] and my city is the one called Apsurdia. I'm quite near of Apreche at least and actually his neighbour shamowfski has send troops towards me. I send him a nice letter that suggested that I don't like war, but maybe he's not the kind that will drawback an attack.
I sure hope my city is not turning into a tasty pillage snack in my absence! I may have to invest in a slinger or two now that my population is closing in on 200.
I got an action point back after my pillagers returned. Seems like its not a you can do two things in a week thing, but rather meant to keep you from doing too many attacks/trades at the same time.
I just sent out my second raid. I was going to raid the same place, then realized that I needed crystal, so sent them to an idle on a crystal island. Should know how it went in an hour and a half (it was kinda far away.)
I sent three raids yesterday, and I seemed to be able to send out right away again. Today, I'm following somebodies suggested strategy (Can't find where I read it now) to send out two waves at the same place, as the 2nd wave's battle will only take 1 second instead of 20 minutes. Supposedly, this gives you twice the resources for the same amount of time(As long as they both win and you have enough ships for both groups). So far, it seems to have worked(My 3rd and 4th groups should be back in about 35 minutes).
I just found a city with 0 defense and 2,306 total points.
Oh, the pain.... if only I could send out another raid.
I found a lvl 10 city with a military score of 0 and a total score of 2128. Send out my two phalanxes.
EDIT: They won, of course, and are returning. On the ship is 39 wood, 79 wine, 44 marble, 82 crystal and 52 sulphur. *grins* Perhaps even some small change.
I can't seem to find this located in the help or in any of the wikis, so figure I'd ask here. In the wiki is states best shot is to attack inactive cities. Is that what the (i) symbol next to the name means? Is this essentially an abandoned city? Or is this something else, such as the person isn't logged in, or has been set to "vacation", or some other item I have yet to learn?
Side note: I'm over at Ageouos[66:92] City - Spectra
Is that what it is? I thought it actually meant something as cities with that are grey instead of the normal black. So the (i) is the same as someone just placing XXXX in front and behind the name? Or are you talking about something different?
I have noticed a 'v' on some cities. I believe this is an indicator of a player in "Vacation mode". I guess the 'i' would stand for them being idle. I sent out some Slingers to two idle Polis towns on my island but it wasn't really worth it. Now that I know a bit more, I'll check those scores next time. I am now working on Expansion. I don't think I'll have it done before tomorrow morning though.

I think it does. I have two people like that on my island, as well as one with a (v) and a little palm tree. It seems that the latter is on vacation, so I'm guessing the first two with the (i)s are inactive.
I just started construction on my city walls and some slingers. There are two little (i) towns on my island that I plan on raiding later on this evening. I think I can afford the 16 gold hit for a few hours. Besides, my warehouse is overflowing and I lack the marble to make it bigger.

Low and behold I got an action point back. I'm pillaging it now.

I found more info on my battle:

Wood: 141
Marble: 15

Well worth the 1 slinger life lost.
