A fun story about sanctions (Illustrated screen shots)
Speaking of sanctions here's a story about a friend of mine. Back when I was lvl 13 I was building $$$ makers until i was satisfied and wanted to move on. Well I started getting attacked by a guy named Grimsey. The strange thing was I kept winning over and over yet he kept attacking me. Every time he'd attack me I'd attack him back and win, so I wasn't sure why he kept it up, then he started winning somehow. He had the same units as before as did I, but he was winning all of a sudden.
(This is about where the screen shots start) So I increased my building defense which didn't help much then bought a bunch of Naval Destroyers (27A,15D) until i began winning about 15 destroyers total. Then he bought 11 Commache Helicopters (25A,13D) and started winning again. So I decided to level up to lvl 15 and bought myself 8 M80 Stilettos (15A,35D) and he hasn't been able to beat me since.
Instead he decided to sanction me FOR $850,000. I thought it was funny, lost around $20,000 and then attacked him again. After all that's what the games about. I guess I pissed him off sooo much that he decided to sanction me 22 times (and counting). Then to top it off he used up 50 honor points to join my country, so now can't attack him lol. When I saw that it just made my day. So since I keep getting added to the sanctions list I decided to add my alliance code to my name. And get some allies with the exposure.

The nice thing about getting Sanctioned, although you get beat to a pulp there are a ton of people that attack you and don't win. Therefore check them out and find a few cash cows. 3 of the people that attacked me and lost ended being great to get cash from.
When people put a sanction on you does the minimum amount go up each time?
Also at higher levels do people often sanction you over and over?
