I've an inbound attack on my newest and weakest colony, I'm not sure whether to sit and face it or send everyone away, I'm spending all my resources on STs so he can't plunder anything and the main house is level 10 so he can't colonise (I think) yet.
Help!!!
This guy is in VI which isn't good I don't think, what's the politics here?
I'm messaging him to ask him why etc.

He's online but not even read my message, I'm probably going to sit tight and take the pain but I might send my ships and as many men as I can out just before he hits and then recall them straight away, to see if his second wave might get a little surprise.

Given that all his colonies are in ocean 13 right around your isle, I think we can assume that he is out to steal your colony. With that fleet of yours away when he hits, and if he succeed in first go, he inherit it.

He replied and said in extremely eloquant style: "im going 2 take it"
So I replied and said I'd make it not worth his while, try to do a Natmus on it. Trouble is I've no cats near enough, anyone want to raid Torkren and batter it down to nothing?

He got the wall, my forces evacuated just before he hit and are now back on the island, only 60 odd sw and 60 sp and 60 st but they might as well stay there.
Rebuilding the wall again before his next wave hits.
If anyone wants to raid PM me on IK and I will get my troops off before your cats hit.

I ordered my forces to attack my home isle just before he hit and then cancelled after they landed, so they are intact and I can repeat the process, but I will probably keep them there for the next wave as he might use a smaller force. Alternatively I might evacuate next time when I assume he will hit my main house and then use them to try to kill his colony ship, by which time I could reinforce the island with all I’ve got.
I’m bound to lose ultimately as he’s a top 100 player but at least I can make him wait a bit and try to demolish what I can with Ringy etc help.

Unless he has his colony ship included in the strike force. You never know...

I don't think that works does it? You have to have an isle with level 1 main house for the colony attempt to work, not sure.

My nearest cat force is 12 hours away. Aside for them hitting in the middle of the night, making the evac of soldiers difficult, brown-nose must have hit with his colony ship by then, given the close proximity of his main isle.

I remember some confusion about this issue, but it is possible to use cats to level the main house to level 1 and use a colony ship to colonise an isle in one and the same attack.

Yes, I seem to remember that was the case.

Looks like his colony ship is on it's way:
" A fleet from the isle 06. aerbo (13:77:25) is attacking your isle! " My watchtower range is only 7.5 miles so it must be going at about 2kts.
My only hope is that he's not got a big escort and expects no resistance, I can rebuild the stone wall up to level 8 or so by the time he hits so might at least make him lose a few units.
I call heads, 50/50 chance isn't it!
Alternatively I might launch at the isle which sent the colony ship as he might be fairly weak, but I've no forces near enough to do much damage to it, bah!
My mercs are out so I can't even send out the few resources which are left, I've quite a lot of stone and lumber spare, I spent the gold on stonethrowers/spearmen and ships to depricve him of that at least.
