I may be out of the game, but there are a few facts that need to be said, about attacking a small city.
1. said city cannot have phalanx or ram---bonus attackers
2. said city cannot have a tower---bonus attackers
3. said city has a wall under 10---bonus attackers
4. you have to be an idiot to defend said city given the above factors, when you should know that your attackers don't even want to take it. They are attacking because of reasons 1, 2, and 3, and the exchange rate for BP's is good. Why would anyone want an 1800 point city, unless it was to spoil a WW island?
5. this ties up and kills your defense so that it can't be used to defend a "real" city. You guys have to be retalded.
Just my observations,

Well Lox, I take it you mean retarded ?, let's see shall we, maybe actual figures and stats are better than assumptions.
Here are some of the totals from reports of the attacks on this little retarded city, all of these are after revolt attacks and when the city has been stacked, I have included Mortiferums' "good return for what I lost" attacks, also, I think I had used the +30% Defence by this time.
Wall is 4, for all these attacks.

All these are Defence wins apart from Moriferum LS attack which is +22 to the attacker.
Mortiferums figures can be confirmed on Grepointel, a few points different, but proves my figures are not made up.
I'm quite surprised now that I've looked into it, Defence wins !, even with a low wall.
If you call that a good return Mortiferum, then good luck to you.
