If you want to do it, do it to players across the world from you, otherwise they might get mad and invade you.6thDragon wrote:

Probably only works against new players.
You'll probably need some luck tho if you want to gain a major resource advantage in a game with that strategy.
Have never done it myself, maybe I should try it in at least one game.
As you can see, the majority of players consider this an underhanded and borderline illegal tactic. Using tactics like that, it will be easy for players who don't fall for it to unite against you because they feel insulted. In the early game, do you really want to find yourself in a situation where the world is uniting against you? Diplomacy is an important aspect of the game and you may find it hard to get allies.
I personally won't do it. I feel it will discourage noobs and maybe make them quit.
