Pillages

[XMX]

There is nothing you can do against pillages if you can't fight off the advancing troops or are offline.

I would suggest that after a certain level, Medicine works for villages as Military Medicine does for troops.

I.E. every level researched above a certain level saves 2% of villages.
Won't stop thise damned pillages but at least it would soften the blow a little.

version 5 will help in similar way (im not currently allowed to share details  )

seems a fair idea
