Why did we start it?
Not so long ago I have been messaged by someone's alt that we could get inside of Amish Paradise and drop the visitor buff, then kill the AD warriors inside it. That has dragged our attention to the city and we have set it as our next target to eliminate it and fight the rest of AD/AP that will show up to defend the place.
Sieging & Fighting
So, Lolo (LS of Cenders) and I have built a siege camp that wasn't noticed for 3 days. At least, this time we have had plenty of sleep and started firing the catapults in the afternoon. It took 3-4 hours to notice us by one of AP residents. We have had a quick chat on Skype, where he has told me that there is no-one to defend and he is going to move out of the city. I've suggested him that we wouldn't siege his plot, but he seemed to be adamant about leaving this place and finding a group to play with.
Consequently, we were not really expecting anything to happen, provided that Hawkeye was online (he has a bad luck with missing all the fights). Suddenly, when the shield had 35000-40000 of shield hitpoints left, a group of fighter has shown up and started bashing one of the siege camp palisade corners. We have quickly grouped up and chased them until they've hidden inside of their city. They have been trying to shoot at us as well and hit one of our fighters for 200 soft hp when we've run towards AD/AP squad.
Afterwards, they have attempted to go outside with an archer and a few fighters of theirs but would keep at least 20 tiles close to the gates. Anytime we would come outside, they would retreat back again. So, we have sent 2 fighters to attack them from their backs (Hawkeye+Puri) + used two meatshield characters (controlled by Ozzy+Zeler) on horses to block them from their gates (played the key role in this). That way we have managed to kill one of their warriors (after being blocked by Ozzy, he was KOed by Lolo) and steal the body (Berthedin). AD/AP seemed to be demoralised and dissapeared out of our sight.
Final Battle
Some time has passed, our alts have noticed AD returning back to Amish Paradise at the front gates of the city. Some more people have arrived, so Hawekeye and I decided to go and see what is happening. We have been surprised to see around 8-10 people mounted, so we have ran back to the siege camp, met 3 more of our guys halfway, grouped up and decided to give it a go and counter-attacked. The city defenders started stacking some coins on us, but they've lost their nerve and ran away from us again. We have chased them to the river north of AP, shot one of them for 500 hp in total, attempted to chase them further but decided to go back to the camp, suspecting it might get attacked if we'll run too far away. Pretty soon, the defenders started attacking again. This time they had to face the equal number of fighters and many of them didn't make it out. Our people were chasing them far from the city, so they couldn't hide behind the walls. Most of them were some naked alts with no stats, and it is extremely strange that AD decided to fight us on the even ground with 3-4 fighters + trash alts only. It felt like they were sure that they had almost equally strong squad.
Aftershocks
After the fight, we were able to finish destroying the shield and outer walls without any resistance. Next day, the idol has been destroyed, we have breached the majority of the plots inside of the city and been able to carry out 5 wagons of loot. Mostly curiosities (10 cb of ivory figurines, for instance), salt, some food, 1.5 cbs of gold, silk and etc.
AD still claims to have another place where they're living and feeding on. As far as we know, Lunarkill has transported some q160+ coal from AP to GH, including their top-q. anvil.
Also, we have had the highest concentration of women in our raid. 5 in total.
