"make peace not war!" you can get resources if you send your soldiers to gather and you upgrade your buildings, not by war with those ho are already ded!
It is obvious that you are a newbie, my knowledge items cost 500 m each, the billion influence players can spend more than that for some of their knowledge. You don't get that from gathering and production only.
I would tend to agree with you about being a newbie to the game, and I think I said as much in the other topic he started on this issue elsewhere
It is often difficult to understand sometimes what the person posting appears to be asking or saying, especially when it appears that the person is a non native English speaker.
I now get the impression that he's saying that farming is boring, and the game should be about fighting,which has some validity, however after playing awhile, I suspect most people realise that you cant just make troops and go out and attack someone, and win and progress.
Fighting eventually becomes less important for progress, and largely fruitless as players tend to live under shields
You have to realise that you need to acquire resources to make any progress, let alone fight when it is necessary , and the only ways to do that are
#1 build resource facilities in town,
#2 harvest from the tiles,
#3 pillage from inactive players.
#4 Successfully raid and steal from active players.
#5 win the lottery and spend it in the bank
