Here's my view, the one from a new player.
The game is somewhat hard to understand when you start out. The tutorial etc help a lot, and the forum too. But there are a lot of people that don't look on the forums for alliances.
Starting recourses aren't that high, and even when taking down the starting defense it's hard to come around for a newbie. I've played a bit in 6 different worlds now, and in 5 I've been conquered 3 or 4 ticks after giving up protection.
The problem is that inexperienced players don't know what to expect. One enemy used a portal. Another used a training base near me. How should I know what those things are for?!
And at first I thought that being conquered was the end of the game. After browsing the forums I found out it's not, but waiting for 72 ticks is long. And I don't have the resources to build a decent army, so I don't know if I even succeed.
My first time playing ever, I was conquered. (E4 The age before ByE4). I was conquered for about 700 ticks, by a guy in KoG. I just built up day by day and I was able to rebel in peace. You don't necessarily fight your conqueror to be free. When you take your time and build up an army decent enough you can join a top alliance, now you can rebel in peace. That's what I did...I still have rough starts...and get conquered. I am still a noob, but even being conquered for 700+ ticks, I am able to get rank 20~25 on my first time playing, you can to. So being conquered isn't the end and they should understand that...
The only time that it's the end is when you give up on yourself.
