Pillaging

[gjts00]

Pillaging is valid to me. It represents true guerilla warfare. The value is demonstrated by a numericaly inferior force slowing down their stronger foes. Thus affording a weaker element the means to resist without sacrificing their limited amount of units. Although it isn't what comes to mind when you think about "civilized" warfare, it still has a place in the game (like it or don't).

I don't often pillage, unless I need to sever links from one city to another.

I always just surround the city with units, which in effect starves the city into submission without having to destroy or ruin too many things that I may need once I'm in ownership of Paris, or whatever it may be.

No, I don't pillage because I just end up building the stuff back anyways.

So? Pillaging is one of the better strategies to employ, but I'm glad to know who doesn't do it.

I only pillage against live opponets, and in certain scenarios, to slow the AI (Red Front for one).
