One of the many ways your hometown can become a Doomed Hometown. A group of bandits, pirates, Army of Thieves and Whores and, including, soldiers working under the Big Bad, cause trouble primarily by sacking the town—that is, looting, damaging property, and sometimes even murdering and kidnapping innocent townsfolk. Raping is optional(-ly shown), but the town is almost always burned down afterward. This gives an excellent opportunity for the bad guys to Kick the Dog. Rape, Pillage, and Burn is guaranteed to appear in any work involving Pirates or Horny Vikings. Sometimes appears, though not as frequently, in The Wild West or Medieval European Fantasy. This activity is a common pastime of The Horde. This is one way to gain Plunder. If this problem persists, villagers may resort to hiring The Magnificent Seven Samurai. Truth in Television; historically, this was known as "chevauchée." This is generally a problem in areas without a strong government to keep order, even today. In many civilizations, it was not resolved until power, money, and land were consolidated under noblemen and kings rich enough to afford standing armies. It is also one reason why peasants in older times tolerated kings and nobles who were quite nasty, as the alternative was almost always constant chaos caused by dozens and dozens of rival warlords (although they could still suffer this in wars the nobles or kings waged with each other). These days, this trope is considered a Crime Against Humanity. It should be noted that as nasty as this trope can get, it's not entirely unjustified in terms of cold hard pragmatism, at least in less civilized settings. It provides food, supplies, and funds for an army far away from home which is in constant need of all three. It raises morale among the attacking forces, demoralizes the victims, and builds a fearsome reputation that can be used to coerce surrender. The downside is that it creates a lot of resentment from the population, turns enemy troops fanatical and invites reprisals, damages the economic value of the area you conquer, postpones cultural assimilation by decades, and can become addictive to the troops, which is a big problem when they return home. Even "good guys" like Lincoln in the Civil War were known to order pillaging because supply issues were making the army tactically sluggish, along with burning crops in the South to destroy their resources and hasten a surrender. Also, rape can mean multiple things. One of the more archaic definitions is "to capture" (although this was frequently to commit sexual assault later, thus the changing meaning). And remember, to avoid (even more) squick or damaged goods, it's rape, pillage, then burn. |

Parodied in several The Far Side strips, usually with Horny Vikings: As most of a Viking crew are looting and burning a village and carrying off the women, two are in the foreground, casually having lunch, one of them complaining (as he looks in a lunchbox), "Well, she did it to me again. Tuna fish!" Vikings are depicted running about tossing eggs at huts, with the caption explaining that "for many years, until they became truly nasty, Vikings would plunder, loot, and then egg the houses of coastal villagers". A party of Viking raiders are waiting outside a "Small Defenseless Village" that has designated plundering hours, patiently waiting for the time to arrive. |

Come and See: The last act of the film largely follows the main character as he gets caught in a Belarusian village overrun by a Nazi death squad. As you might guess, things go very poorly for the residents. In real life, the Einsatzgruppen were indeed such psychopaths that even regular SS were disgusted by them. | |

The Trojan Cycle: While the official goal of the Greeks is to retrieve Helen, most of them are fully intent on doing this to Troy. The actual event was covered in the now-lost epic Iliou persis, The Sack of Ilion, which described the specifics of how the victiorious Greeks rampaged through the city, stealing, killing, burning, and carrying women off as slaves. The only thing that they show any hesitancy towards harming are the temples of the gods, as they gives serious thought to stoning Ajax the Lesser to death when he damages Athena's alter while wrestling Cassandra away from it. The Achaeans' conduct during the sack is so debauched and feckless in the eyes of the gods that only two kings' troops got to sail home unimpeded — the rest all managed to severely offend some god or another, who promptly makes their return treacherous. A variant version from the Trojan perspective is covered in the opening of The Aeneid. The Iliad indicates that the Greeks also sacked neighboring cities during the long siege of Troy itself. It opens just after the sack of Lyrnessus, where Briseis was enslaved. | |

Crusader Kings: In Crusader Kings II, pagans, Hindus, and tribes of any religion can raid other realms for loot and captives. The resultant pillaging reduces the affected holdings' income for the next few years. Noble captives can be ransomed back to their families for gold, sacrificed in pagan rituals, arbitrarily executed, or, in the case of adult women, made into concubines. | |

Fire Emblem: Many maps include villages, which are often set upon by bandits. If they get there before any of your units can, the village will be destroyed and whatever item or character you would've received is lost forever. On the other hand, if you get there first, the village subsequently locks its gates, preventing this from happening. Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: The villages will be pillaged over the course of several turns until you get there. Getting to a village before your enemy will give 5000 gold to whichever unit gets there (and occasionally gives you items along with it); if the enemy reaches it, then for every subsequent turn, the money reward is reduced by 500 gold. If the enemy occupies the village for ten turns, the village and whatever money or items one would receive are destroyed. This is likely due to the much larger maps the game has in comparison to other entries in the series, which would make it unfair if the village is destroyed immediately upon being attacked. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: At the start, the kingdom of Renais is invaded. It's mentioned that "homes were destroyed, possessions stolen, [and] women kidnapped". |

The Night Unfurls: The Always Chaotic Evil fantasy species, like orcs, are really fond of attacking villages, abducting townsfolk, raping them, and/or razing said villages to the ground. Essentially the Black Dogs' modus operandi during their conquest to build a Sex Empire, taking whatever and whoever they wish in every attack. Special mention goes to their assault on Navarus Village in Chapter 4, where the men are taken to be executed, while the women, children included, are rounded up in a church for an orgy. |

Vikings shows the titular warriors wreaking havoc upon the hapless Saxons in this manner, with all the rape, slaughter, and pillaging shown on-screen. Well, the rape is surprisingly low-key. In fact, we only see two instances of it, and only barely. | |

Fist of the North Star: This is often inflicted upon the people Kenshiro must save, and is an excellent way to encourage him to pop some heads. Especially if you even think about doing this to children. Averted with Raoh's army. He wants to conquer humanity, the last thing he needs is wasting time suppressing revolts. His motto to his troops was basically "kill all who oppose my reign, but if you do anything that'll make them live and hate us, I'll personally crush your skull under my horse's hooves" (which he did) |

In The Last Hero however, when Lord Vetinari describes "heroic" deeds as "murder, pillage, theft and rape", the head of the Guild of Historians clarifies that Cohen's band ravish rather than rape, in line with Cohen's a) generally decent if disinterested attitude to people who aren't likely to fight back, b) improbable charisma. | |

Seven Samurai: The titular seven are hired to defend a village of Japanese farmers from bandits. The Magnificent Seven is actually a remake of Seven Samurai as a Western. The villagers in both films expect the raping part, going as far as to hide the women away from the village. | |

"Trantor Falls": Gilmer describes the women his soldiers have captured much the same way that he describes the gems and wine available on Trantor. Even his lowest-ranking members can be choosy about what they take from the enormous City Planet. In contrast, Dean Sarns is aware that they have forty-two rape victims (37 women and 5 men) in their medical clinic (and an unknown number around the planet) and doesn't particularly care what "treasures" they take, as long as the University is left alone. | |

The Island (1980): The standard tactic for the pirates is to sneak up on an isolated pleasure craft and stealthily board it, murder everyone on board, loot anything of value, and then burn or blow up the boat to hide all evidence of the crime. Their actions towards the woman on board the schooner indicate that they may indulge in rape as well, if the time allows. (This particular woman is shot while trying to escape before any rape can occur.) | |

Soviet Storm: World War II in the East has both the Germans and Soviets doing this to the others' civilian population during the Great Patriotic War. The latter case is due in part to many Russian soldiers losing their homes and loved ones this way when the Germans occupied, and in retaliation, they do this to the Germans once they manage to enter Germany in late 1944 and early 1945. | |

Civilization: In all games, most land units can pillage the infrastructure (roads, farms, mines, etc.) outside enemy towns. Marauding barbarians are especially fond of this. Even if you zero out the A.I.s and the barbarians, if you have the Random Events generator on, you'll still have bandits raiding and pillaging to deal with. | |

Hurog: In Dragon Bones, the heroes encounter a group of bandits who are about to start with the raping. They stop them there so that the bandits never get around to the pillaging and burning. However, they later see some villages that weren't as lucky. The situation is thus that it is actually warfare, but the high king who should protect the villagers claims it's just some random bandits who have nothing to do with the neighbouring country. This is not good for his reputation — his subjects tolerated a lot of his misbehaviour, but not protecting them means they're better off without him... | |

The Lunar Rebellion: A couple of examples show up: Griffon reivers menace Equestria's shores early in the story, attacking coastal settlements, sacking them, and kidnapping their inhabitants, whom they either enslave or eat. The Avatar of Nightmare Moon uses the possibility of this as a threat to try to force Shadow to convince Celestia to surrender Canterlot, claiming that she'd take the city anyway and it’d be impossible to control victory-drunk soldiers seeking retribution for a long, hard siege and the deaths of close companions. |

Fallout: New Vegas: This is the modus operandi of Caesar's Legion, their first victim in the game being the town of Nipton. In the endgame, if the Courier has a maxed-out Barter skill (which in this game means a very good understanding of economics and trade), they can point out to Legate Lanius that raiding is a very poor long term way to properly sustain a nation, especially considering that NCR towns make very poor raiding targets since they depend on trade, thus meaning even if the Legion wins the battle for Hoover Dam, they'll ultimately be defeated via attrition. This will be enough for Lanius to agree to retreat. The White Legs tribe from the Honest Hearts DLC also practice this trope and have never developed any skills, such as agriculture or foraging, that they'd need to survive in the Wasteland without it. |

Crécy: Discussed Trope. The English, as the narrator gleefully admits, have been busy burning several villages on their progress from Caen to Crecy. This tactic was a favorite of Edward the Black Prince and intended to terrorize the population into believing that the French wouldn't protect them and the English would. The narrator still insists, despite murdering French peasants, that they are the real underdogs against the French aristocratic army. | |

Fushigi Yuugi: This is an important part of Nakago's Start of Darkness. Nakago (then known as Gi Ayuru, and a very sweet boy) was a member of the Hin tribe. The Hin were disliked because they (with their blond hair and blue eyes) looked different to most of the people of Kutou, and (more than that) worshipped a different god than the surrounding people, who worshipped Seiryuu. The Emperor of Kutou sent his armies to wipe out the Hin, and the Kutou army sacked their villages. Ayuru witnessed his mother being gang-raped by Kutou soldiers, as she urged him to flee to safety. Enraged, Ayuru sent out waves of chi at the soldiers, but since he wasn't able to control that power yet, ended up killing his mother, too. When other soldiers saw what happened, they realized that Ayuru was one of the Celestial Warriors they were hoping to find for the arrival of the Priestess, and took him to the Palace of Kutou. Unfortunately, it went From Bad to Worse as the emperor decided to keep Ayuru as a Sex Slave. | |

Berserk: In the first chapter, the Lord of Koka Castle enacts this on the nearby village after several of his henchmen were assaulted by a lone swordsman in the town tavern. However, he reveals to the town mayor that he does not truly care for gold or prisoners, and would prefer to see humans in a fiery apocalypse and listen to the snapping of their bones under the hooves of horses. As his henchmen take the mayor away, the Snake Lord dons his battle armor, having resolved to lay waste to Koka For the Evulz. Wyald, the leader of the Black Dog Knights, loves to invoke this trope. Being a depraved hedonist, he especially enjoys the first part. After the runaway Band of the Hawk are supplied by a nearby village, the pursuing Black Dog Knights follow them to that village, brutalize and massacre the populations, and later attack the Hawks, carrying pikes with burnt human body parts attached. Wyald's pike has the torso of the young girl who approached Gut earlier and thanked him for his service (who was then raped and killed by Wyald directly), which angers Guts. |

The Legend of Zelda: While various monsters are implied to ransack villages in the series, it's explicitly shown in the introductory section of Twilight Princess, where Link is initially set on his quest by a band of roving Bulblins who raid his home of Ordon Village and kidnap the children. In Tears of the Kingdom, a band of seafaring monsters have ransacked and settled in Lurelin Village, scattering its inhabitants across Hyrule. One sidequest chain allows Link to drive them out, then assist in rebuilding the village. |

Mass Effect: In the background options for Shepard, Shepard can potentially have faced this twice; first, if the Colonist background is taken, Shepard survived a slaver attack on his/her home colony on Mindoir, but also lost his/her entire family at 16. If the War Hero background is taken, Shepard singlehandedly prevents this from happening to the colony of Elysium. | |

9 Monkeys of Shaolin has the Wukou invaders terrorizing coastal towns and raiding multiple villages throughout the game, with the first stage being their assault on your home with you being the Sole Survivor. You're then rescued by some Shaolin monks, trains with them for revenge, and later spend much of the game traveling through various towns slaughtered by the Wukou while fighting their forces. | |

In Book of Psalms, one of David's malicious prayers is to wish it happens to his enemies, one of which wishes the mothers of enemy nations to have their babies thrown against the rocks. (Even in the ancient world, violence against children was considered one of the worst calamities to happen to a captured city, to the point where it's now considered a war crime.) | |

Sacking towns is the best way to maintain a steady income in most games; once you defeat a settlement, you're typically given a choice as to whether to just occupy it, loot and the occupy it, sack it or raze it to the ground. In Total War: Warhammer, this trope comes into play to a greater degree than before, since due to the Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration, many factions simply have no interest in actually ruling certain territories — Greenskins never really bother to settle and govern lands they conquer, humans don’t live well underground, dwarfs deeply dislike open aboveground spaces, nobody can survive in the Chaos Wastes, etcetera. As a result, many factions will only enter each other’s territory to remove strategic threats or to sack settlements for extra income. This trope is especially intrinsic to the gameplay of two factions: The Greenskins are a race of Blood Knights that live to fight, and if they don’t get enough battles to satisfy them, they will turn on each other in frustration and take attrition damage. This is alleviated by setting up raiding camps, which allow the troops to reave and pillage the countryside, simultaneously increasing your income and damaging the local enemy’s morale. The Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen have no settlements, carrying their minimal infrastructure with their armies, and as such have no way of maintaining internal income. As a result, they need to constantly defeat other armies and sack and plunder civilized settlements, in order to make money and maintain their dark gods’ favor. The Skaven from Total War: Warhammer II are ravenous eaters, and need large quantities of fresh meat to keep the clanrats loyal and support their rapidly-swelling population. You can ensure a healthy supply by defeating enemy armies, sacking towns, and pillaging the countryside. The Dark Elves meanwhile have an economy sustained almost entirely by slave labour, which is represented in-game by featuring slaves as a separate currency that boosts the players economy based on how many slaves the player possesses. Slaves are gained via raiding enemy regions and sacking their settlements, therefore encouraging the player to indulge in this trope in order to maximise their economic potential. As slave numbers also degrade over time the player is pressured to keep this behaviour up for the entire campaign in order to maintain stable numbers. |

Girl Genius: Jägers have a well-earned reputation for looting, burning, slaughter, and abduction due to their centuries riding with the old Heterodynes. Given Da Boyz reaction to a woman who thinks the Jägers are going to have their way with her and their previous interactions with the ladies it seems like they prefer their trysts to be consensual, even if the destruction and death they traditionally leave in their wake is accurate. | |

Kell even "makes an example" out of the surviving warriors by crucifying them in the remains of their homes. Yikes... | |

Vinland Saga: Inevitable, being the manga about Vikings. It makes no effort to tone down the more brutal aspects of Viking culture, and the glorification of it by (most) norsemen. Setting villages on fire, stealing the food and resources, killing most of the men, raping the women and selling the survivors into slavery... it's all there. Thorfinn himself sets a few villages on fire while travelling with Askeladd's crew, at least one of which gave him food and shelter beforehand. Years later the guilt for all the deaths he caused consumes him to the point that he swears off violence. Einar's village in northern England, originally founded by Norse settlers, was attacked by English troops when he was a child, which resulted in the death of his father. Many years later, the village is attacked again by Danish raiders, who burn the houses, steal the food and valuables and capture the survivors to sell them into slavery. They would've probably raped Einar's mother and sister if they hadn't killed them first, but Einar himself ends up being sold as a slave to Ketil. Canute at least finds the rape and slavery bits a little distasteful, and explicitly forbids his soldiers to take advantage of their displaced victims like that. When a few of them disobey his orders, Canute orders them beheaded and their heads displayed along the road as a warning. When one of his advisors complains that "collecting the spoils of war" is a time-honored military custom, Canute has none of it and retorts that he has no use for undisciplined men who cannot follow orders. Canute later forbids the Jomsvikings from entering Ketil's farm, well aware that they would start pillaging the place if left alone. He then states that the whole point of coming to the farm was to requisition it in its entirety, not to pillage it. |

In the meantime, they routinely pillage coastal towns which refuse to swear fealty to them. Like the Kaiel, they have a well-deserved reputation for eating babies, although in their case, it's less morally ambiguous. | |

Norsemen: Arvid basically dedicated his whole life to this prior to the start of the series. When he gets married he has trouble with consensual sex and they try a roleplay scenario where he pretends to pillage his own farm, mock-kills his slaves, and attempts to have sex with his screaming wife... but overthinks it and can't get it up. Apologizing to the slaves afterwards. Jarl Varg's vikings have no problem pillaging and raping in foreign lands, but they seem to develop a kind of PTSD after being ordered to assault a nearby village. Ironically when Varg himself loudly threatens to rape Arvid's wife to lure him out of hiding, he gets "performance anxiety", much to her disappointment. |

In Forever Home, the Judgment Faction has a modus operandi of firing cannons at defenseless towns to reduce them to dust, and then sending in their mooks to kill the survivors. At first, this seems to be For the Evulz, but then it turns out that Barclyss, the leader of the faction, can take the souls of his victims and turn them into mindless soldiers, essentially using the victims of his previous raids to be used to start another. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Molag Bal, Daedric Prince of Domination and Corruption, is practically the patron deity of the trope. While he enjoys committing these acts himself, he especially enjoys it when he can manipulate mortals into doing this to each other. Pillaging and slaughter were fairly common acts in the wars throughout Tamrielic history, especially in the Merethic Era. Most notable was the genocide of the Falmer (Snow Elves) by Ysgramor and his Five Hundred Companions when he invaded Skyrim. In later eras, it became much less common, as armies invaded and only occupied lands, but the Orc kingdom of Orsinium suffered this fate pretty regularly by its High Rock and Hammerfell neighbors, and, during the Great War in the 4th Era, the region of Cyrodiil and particularly the Imperial City were subjected to this by the invading Aldmeri Dominion armies and their fanatically racist Thalmor leaders. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: This is considered common practice during war: The cultures of the Ironborn and the Dothraki are based on the concept of invading, looting, burning the place to the ground, and raping women claimed as trophies. The Ironborn especially take this to an extreme. Pillaging is a religious mandate to them and they glorify raiding to the point that they think actually buying things is for wimps. House Greyjoy's motto is "We do not sow". This is eventually rooted in the fact that, since the Iron Islands have so little actual arable land, they probably can't sow, and eventually came to trap themselves in something of a vicious circle where they need to constantly steal resources from everybody else in order to keep their culture from collapsing. Gregor Clegane is the avatar of this trope, a true expert in cruelty and savagery. He kills the Red Viper after confessing to raping and murdering his sister. And then the venom Oberyn Martell put on his lance killed Clegane in horrible agony. This little excerpt of A Clash of Kings says it all: The Wildlings go over the Wall to pillage any village nearby, as there's almost nothing else for them to pillage on their side save each other, and habitually kidnap women to take as brides. |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: Jack Sparrow's plan after he stole a ship from Port Royal is to "raid, pillage, and plunder [his] weaselly black guts out". The Black Pearl pirates make their first full appearance sacking Port Royal, burning and looting shops and homes in search of the MacGuffin that summoned them there in the first place. | |

Sword of Truth: All the evil armies engage in enormous amounts of raping and pillaging; not just villages, but whole cities and countries they roll over. Once Richard takes over one of these armies along with the state, he orders the practice stopped. Not everyone is happy, but outright disobedience is not mentioned. | |

The Bible: This occurs several times. Jerusalem has been sacked more than once. Deuteronomy has a requirement that if the Israelites have a desire for the women captured in war, they are required to marry the captives and must treat them well, they are not allowed to mistreat them or sell them for money even when they're not pleased with the captured women. It wasn't always done to the Israelites either. See, e.g. Numbers 31:7-18, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, and Judges 21:10-24. In Book of Psalms, one of David's malicious prayers is to wish it happens to his enemies, one of which wishes the mothers of enemy nations to have their babies thrown against the rocks. (Even in the ancient world, violence against children was considered one of the worst calamities to happen to a captured city, to the point where it's now considered a war crime.) In Zechariah 14:2, God says, "For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured and the houses plundered and the women ravished. Half of the city will go to exile, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city." |

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: The villages will be pillaged over the course of several turns until you get there. Getting to a village before your enemy will give 5000 gold to whichever unit gets there (and occasionally gives you items along with it); if the enemy reaches it, then for every subsequent turn, the money reward is reduced by 500 gold. If the enemy occupies the village for ten turns, the village and whatever money or items one would receive are destroyed. This is likely due to the much larger maps the game has in comparison to other entries in the series, which would make it unfair if the village is destroyed immediately upon being attacked. | |

Game of Thrones: The Dothraki are shown indulging in this at one point which comes back to bite Khal Drogo when he needs some medical attention. Also mentioned as happening offscreen. During the Battle of Blackwater, Tyrion Lannister successfully plays on this for his Rousing Speech. The forces of Stannis Baratheon are pounding on the gate with a battering ram, King Joffrey has abandoned them, and the badass Hound has deserted. Tyrion offers to lead the counterattack, but no one takes a dwarf seriously. How to motivate his soldiers? The Wildlings climb up the Wall to sack any village they find, as they have almost nothing else on the other side of the Wall. Lannister forces rape, pillage, and burn the Riverlands in retaliation for their rebellion against King Joffrey (or their lords rebelling; the peasants never had any say in the matter). Ser Gregor is Lord Tywin's go-to guy for this when he's not "accidentally" killing people in tourneys. Ned is so appalled that he attaints him and sentences him to death. After the attempt to stop him fails, Gregor continues this throughout the war. We get a close look at what's left afterward in Season 4 when Sandor Clegane and Arya Stark trek through it on their way to the Vale. This is the specialty of the people from the Iron Islands, the ironborn and their leaders, House Greyjoy. They have a unique culture centered on maritime raiding and pillaging other peoples. Euron Greyjoy considers this his greatest purpose in life. In season 8, Daenerys demands King's Landing's surrender after Cersei refused to commit her forces to stopping the Army of the Dead, then attacks Dany's forces several more times, killing one of her dragons and closest advisors in the process. After forcing a breach with her last dragon and with her armies already in the city, someone manages to order the bells of the city to start ringing to signal the surrender, but by that point, Dany is in no mood to be lenient and decides to bring fire and blood upon the entire city as she starts to burn it down while her armies murder and rape their way through the streets. |

Troy: The city of Troy gets this treatment from the Greeks as they finally break into the city. The Director's Cut of the film takes it to a whole new level, showing the conquering Greek soldiers' transgressions on the Trojans in an even more vicious light with rapes, hangings, and throwing babies into burning buildings. |

The Reynard Cycle: Pretty much every army in the series commits atrocities of this kind on a regular basis. Even Reynard's own. He knows about it but shrugs it off with a War Is Hell attitude. Engadlin, the region directly between warring Arcas and Luxia, has had this done to it so many times that the regional character trait is swift capitulation and a disturbingly relaxed attitude regarding cannibalism due to enduring a hundred years of famine. Even when it's the Other Other White Meat. The Calvarian army does this as a matter of practice, though they omit the rape. Their culture views rape and torture as utterly vile, something you wouldn't even do to an enemy. So, the good news is: You won't be raped or tortured. The bad news? You will be massacred to the last man, woman, and child, and everything you ever cared about will be burned to the ground. Mainly because inferior architecture annoys the average Calvarian. |

Warhammer 40,000: The Dark Eldar routinely raid other species' worlds for resources and prisoners to torture and enslave. The Orks will sack and pillage for fun, but they're asexual and they'd be happier if the villagers put up a decent fight. Chaos Space Marines will also raid and pillage For the Evulz. Followers of the Chaos God Slaanesh are the best example. The Dark Eldar pillage and torture, Orks burn, pillage and burn again, followers of Khorne Killmaimburnkillmaimburn! (none of them really cares about raping, literally all they want is fighting and killing), but followers of Slaanesh will rape, pillage, rape, torture, rape and burnnote And did we mention rape?. They like rape!, and not necessarily in that order either. |

Total War: Sacking towns is the best way to maintain a steady income in most games; once you defeat a settlement, you're typically given a choice as to whether to just occupy it, loot and the occupy it, sack it or raze it to the ground. In Total War: Warhammer, this trope comes into play to a greater degree than before, since due to the Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration, many factions simply have no interest in actually ruling certain territories — Greenskins never really bother to settle and govern lands they conquer, humans don’t live well underground, dwarfs deeply dislike open aboveground spaces, nobody can survive in the Chaos Wastes, etcetera. As a result, many factions will only enter each other’s territory to remove strategic threats or to sack settlements for extra income. This trope is especially intrinsic to the gameplay of two factions: The Greenskins are a race of Blood Knights that live to fight, and if they don’t get enough battles to satisfy them, they will turn on each other in frustration and take attrition damage. This is alleviated by setting up raiding camps, which allow the troops to reave and pillage the countryside, simultaneously increasing your income and damaging the local enemy’s morale. The Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen have no settlements, carrying their minimal infrastructure with their armies, and as such have no way of maintaining internal income. As a result, they need to constantly defeat other armies and sack and plunder civilized settlements, in order to make money and maintain their dark gods’ favor. The Skaven from Total War: Warhammer II are ravenous eaters, and need large quantities of fresh meat to keep the clanrats loyal and support their rapidly-swelling population. You can ensure a healthy supply by defeating enemy armies, sacking towns, and pillaging the countryside. The Dark Elves meanwhile have an economy sustained almost entirely by slave labour, which is represented in-game by featuring slaves as a separate currency that boosts the players economy based on how many slaves the player possesses. Slaves are gained via raiding enemy regions and sacking their settlements, therefore encouraging the player to indulge in this trope in order to maximise their economic potential. As slave numbers also degrade over time the player is pressured to keep this behaviour up for the entire campaign in order to maintain stable numbers. You can also take on a raiding stance when in enemy territory, increasing your income while negating that region's normal production and lowering its public order. |

Mistborn: The Original Trilogy: Subverted in the third book. Elend, strapped for resources and with no other choice, sends his armies to pillage the enemy countryside as part of a campaign to get one of the last holdout cities to submit. The villages are so pathetic that his armies end up sticking around to help them for a few days. Elend's advisers note that this is the first time they've ever heard of armies passing up the opportunity for pillaging, and clearly Elend has rubbed off on them. | |

In Maresi, this is what men attacking the abbey usually intend. There's a door that still has burn marks from one such attempt. The women have their own means of defense, even though a lot of knowledge on magic was lost since the abbey was founded. | |

Hägar the Horrible and his crew pillages a lot, and occasionally burn, but they spare the women. (Kids read the strip, after all.) There are a lot of jokes about this; for example, in a strip, Hagar is leading an army with siege engines and a battering ram against a castle, but it has a sign that says, "No looting and pillaging allowed!" Hagar says, "Gee, I kinda hate to turn back now..." | |

Safehold: Cayleb Ahrmahk, Emperor of the Empire of Charis, works very very carefully to avert this trope. While the burning is unavoidable, raping is punished harshly and pillaging is largely avoided by Cayleb willingly paying the going for the property and materials he takes from the people he's conquering. The reason for this, besides being a decent person, is that with a Corrupt Church eagerly smearing him with all the propaganda they can get or make up, Cayleb knows his best defense is to not behave the way the Church claims. | |

In Red Dead Redemption 2, some of the most brutal gangs in the game do this regularly such as the O'Driscolls and the Skinners brothers. In the first game, Bill Williamson's gang does this regularly. After the decline of the van der Linde gang, Micah Bell leads a gang of psychopaths who kill anyone they meet. The gang committed many crimes over the years such as robbery and murder — some of which involved dismemberment. In fact, Micah Bell alone was estimated to have killed around two dozen people while leading his gang. And unlike the other gangs of the game, they willingly kill children, eventually cementing Micah as a disgusting man without redeeming features. | |

Oathbringer (third book of The Stormlight Archive): In flashbacks to Dalinar's younger days, he interrupts the looting of a conquered town and stops his ally Sadeas from selecting women to "accompany" him for the night. Not because of any moral objections, but he just recruited an elite archer from the town, and bought his service by promising not to harm the town further. This is a huge contrast from modern-day Dalinar, who would never allow even minor looting or other disrespect to a defeated enemy. | |

In The Dinosaur Lords, it's the standard practice for many lords, especially more conservative ones, to let their soldiers rape, pillage and burn anything they wish to on their way to war, bringing many headaches to their appointed leader, progressive count Jaume, who has to resort to hanging rapists lest the army be at war with its own nation before they even reach the battlefield. | |

In Paperinik New Adventures the Evronians are known to bring the pillage and burn parts to the extreme (though they avoid the rape part because they have a different way to reproduce): the pillaging includes every sentient, as they feed on their emotions and need some undrained to maintain a breeding stock, and the burning includes everything they don't have a use for... Including the food supply, forcing them to regrow it at a later date to feed their slaves. It's apparently done because they can. | |

MartÃn Fierro: At song III of this Narrative Poem, Martin Fierro describes how the Indians destroyed the settlements of the Frontier: They Plunder and Burn Baby Burn the town, kill kids and old people, and take the women captive and torture them. (Argentinians even have a name for this attacks: a malón). Fierro was conscripted into defending the settlements, but he can’t do it properly: The army has no firearms because the Colonel sold them to the settlers so they can hunt ostriches. The Argentinian army is exploiting this trope: As long as there are malones the settlers will ask for the Government to continue Settling the Frontier, so the army recruits the Gauchos as Cannon Fodder who cannot stop the malones, while the army officials become CattleBarons until is time to implement the Final Solution. | |

The Witcher: The Witcher 2: Happens off-screen in the prologue, as King Foltest's army attacks the Castle La Valette. He is happy when his commanders report that rape and looting has "been kept to a minimum." Unusually, the player is on the attacking side as well, although you have the option to stem the worst brutalities that you come across. Since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt takes place during a war between the Northern Kingdoms and Nilfgaard,, you can come across frequent examples of this, both in progress and already having happened. Geralt has the choice between ignoring it or intervening in it. |

Plenty of raping, pillaging, and burning goes on, and both of Conan's parents are killed (the father by being ripped apart by hounds, the mother by having her head chopped off by the Big Bad). Conan and the other kids are sent off to be enslaved. It's implied that he later raids villages for fun himself: | |

In Andrei Rublev, while on the way to Moscow, a horde of Mongol-Tatars decide to prey on the undefended town of Vladimir. Men are cut down and shot with arrows, thatched roofs are set aflame, women of all ages are raped, a cow is set on fire, a horse falls down a flight of stairs; general pandemonium ensues. The majority of the townsfolk barricade themselves in the town's cathedral. What makes it so heinous is that they are being guided by a pretender to the Moscovian throne and many Russians are among their ranks. | |
