Too far away to help unfortunately. Can you not move your fleets, troops and resources elsewhere? Try make it a pointless exercise to attack. Low port levels help as he'll get very little in loot.

The way i have been told that corruption works :
Each new island you setup on is called a new "colony"
You have to upgrade the govoners residence on all your colonys to match the amount of colonys you have.
I.E I have my capital and 2 colonys, therefore the govoners residence on each of my colonys has to be at level 2. If i were to setup a 3rd colony i would have to upgrade the govoners residence on all colonys to lvl3

Thats what I do, just manage the issue as a whole and balance building based on resource costs.
yes, it looks likel most of the isle is leaving.
Im going to run down my colony there, and locate to a different isle.
I did not know about the port lvl thing though, so its better to keep it a lower lvl to stop him over looting?
Yeah. If an attacker is successful they pillage resources for a maximum of 20 minutes if uninterrupted (i.e. by reinforcements or someone elses troops etc). For those 20 minutes they collect resources at the speed your port loads goods which is level dependant. So the lower the port level, the less they can plunder 
The downside of course is the slower loading times for yourself. Though I don't really find this an issue myself.

I destroyed my port mid way through an attack, and they still managed to make off with some stuff (mostly gold).
Also If I have blockaded his port(s), is it even possible for him to transport what he has pillaged ?
Even with no port he will still make away with some loot, but it should be very little. As for gold, there's no way to stop them from stealing it other than spending it. Gold loot is dependent on island size, the bigger the island the larger the percentage of gold stock you will steal.
I'm not 100% sure on blockading, i'd have to read up on it. But yes if you blockade his port he can't bring his loot home. What actually happens though i'm not too sure. Another thing to consider is that if the attacker is on the same island as you then he is pillaging by land and not sea and bloackading ports is irrelevant.
The pvp could definitely be improved. It's difficult to backup friends when they're being attacked for a start.
I've got to the point where I'm maxed out on all resource collection, at least 500 gold coming in from every one of my 4 cities, wood is constantly maxed at 22k for each city, same for glass and sulphur - both at 12k.
I'm desperate for marble. It's impossible to mine enough of the stuff. I might have to make a 5th colony on a marble island.

Sure, i'll send you a message tonight. I'm in need for another, I just lost one cos I attacked a leecher I had a treaty with. Didn't realise that it automatically dissolved any treaties with the player when you did that

I've not logged into this for aaaaages. I think I got a bit too depressed with the idea of the beating I'd receive in the end game. Rather defeatist of me, I guess
That and an addiction to Desktop Tower Defender.

I've been pretty pacifist so far, I now have 5 cities and none of them are on a Sulphur island 
However, I'm getting to the stage where I'm having lots of excess marble and wine, working on building up my trade posts and watch the gold rolling in

Can anyone(OCUK alliance?) spare a shed load of sulfur to help me out ? need to build units to counter constant attacks.
Would be wanting 5K+ of sulfur.
Can trade for glass or wine.
Struggling to buy it close to my isle, and steam giants are expensive to build.
