Just started (in this Alpha, I was in 4 for several months), and I have a near neighbour who's trying to get me to relocate away from him. I'm collectivist, he's leaderist, and he reckons that because we're close to each other he can just overrun me, however good my defences are, by repeated attacks when (he thinks) he knows I'll be asleep.
Is he right? If so it seems like a game balance problem. At the moment, though, I think he's just trying to bully me.
I know about building up walls and towers as defences. If anyone has other tactical suggestions,please send them by PM.
