There have been about 1000 separate attacks in the first 14 hours. The overall amount of gold isn't very much right now, so there are few resources available right now, AND everyone is still really close together in the rankings.

There's no difference between your power level if you are ranked 5 or 50 right now. Things should settle down in a couple days when there's more accounts and the rankings spread out more. You're not allowed to attack people who are really weak compared to you, but everyone is equal right now.

Best thing to do is get people to click your link so you get more peasants, join under a commander to get a defense bonus and retaliate. Most people are really weak on defense right now.
