My advice is to turtle up your villages, invest in economic parishes, join the super house, get to 30 villages, and wait for age 4. You can * off the super house if you'd like, you might even live through the apocalypse like my friends did. You raze their marshall, raze out kings, but at the end of the day 95% of the players will be in the same house, and you can't raze out the whole sever. After you * them off enough, the whole server will turn on you.
