I have the layout of my city planned far into the future, in fact I have already drawn a map of it as a metropolis.

We are currently at rank two.

There are currently a few heavy harvestors where I want to place the shuttleport...we're currently rank two so thats not an issue, for now. Which made me think...

I was wondering, if a neigboring city wanted to greif me, they could surround my city with structures...like little personal harvestors or something, to prevent me from growing outward...right?

That would really suck, they could probably afford the maintenance on theses structures indefinetly, correct?

What could anyone do to prevent this from happening? I'm thinking, pre-emptive strike and place my own future, "place holders".

What do you guys think?

Yes, other players can do this to your town and its considered "legal".

Yes, there are ways to counter the move.

I've had way too much experience with this tactic, send me a PM if you'd like more info.

Probably depends on your planet too. If you're trying for a Rank 4 city on Talus or Rori, you'll probably not have a lot of opposition to that. If you're trying for a bigger planet, well...you're probably too late (sorry).

We were really worried about this issue in the first few weeks of our city's inception back in November, especially from people who were looking to snipe out our city cuz they didn't get in under the initial cap. We were also looking for this when the 2nd cap was released.

We never really had a problem with it though, since our city was dedicated to commerce, peace, and didn't run the GCW gambig of exploits and griefing.

So, if you're on one of the far out planets, unless you've really pissed someone off, you shouldn't have too much trouble with people griefing your borders. You may have to place your shuttleport elsewhere temporarily though if it comes to that point.

personals would not box you in much at all theyhave a small foot print, but mediums and heavies do. We palced our city when they first came out and our way of protecting that was to have everyone involved place heavy harvestors around the city outskirts for planned expansion and when we expanded we yanked them down to replce them with structures. AS your city expands you can kind of force thehand of harvestors and their removal failry easy. Just jack the tax way up for housing to the max usually this will burn up harvestors in a few days.

When in doubt think like a Dictator! after all who else will get it done for you?
