If you use a villager to "attack" an enemy farm, it'll convert over to your side. So, build a TC over the settlement and you'll have a nice little farming town.

What I would recommend in this situation is to leave the farms alive and use them yourself, until the enemy starts pushing back and looks like they might take the farms again. At that point, withdraw your villagers and delete the farms or kill them yourself some other way, so the enemy can't use them. Unless I misunderstand your situation and the situation in that area looks bad enough already, in which case my recommendation would be to implement a "scorched earth" policy with regards to farms and such and KILL THEM ALL!!!!!! BURN BURN BURN BURN BURN!!!!! BURN BURN BURN BURN!!!! BURN BURN BURN!!! BURN BURN!! BURN!

As norse the farms mean favor to u too...
In ur case, I would have built a new FB next to the empty settelment, then, the settlement ... If u had no res to build the actual TC, and/or if it was too near to his main tC, I would have killed them, to prevent what u said; him recovering the TC and farming again...

What's the point of keeping the farms alive if you have destroyed their TC? You've pretty much won anyway, don't waste time on the farms. If you destroyed the TC and got destroyed, than taking out a few farms with catapults might be worth it to hinder their economy. But, as I said, if you have taken out their TC, than you have pretty much won.

No lokiodin, he specified it was forward TC the one he destroyed.... Killing a TC doesnt win u the game, even less a forward TC...

Oh, if it was a forward TC, you might want to keep them if you plan on getting that TC.
I know that if you destroy a TC, you don't win, but if you destroy the main TC, you have pretty much won already because you have destroyed his main town and all.
