I had an army up in Sweden destroying everything in site- by the time they destroyed their third farm, the first one was OK again... so they went in circles gathering food and money for me... endlessly.

Sacking should last about 10x longer than it does... as it is it plays like getting free money without actually hurting the enemy at all. :nono:

It drops the morall, it stops the bonus which the village/farm gives to the city. Well I try to kill the enemy sackers as soon as I see them, but the AI sometimes does nothing.
I vote for bigger time of self repairing, or at least not to appear again if the enemy is near. I also think it should yeld a verry little experience.

I totally agree with you! No experience would be a GREAT thing! And would specify one thing to the above: NOTHING in your province gets repaired as long a there is an enemy ANYWHERE in the province. Not a neutral unit, but an enemy!

And get the AI to defend its provinces better!
