Glacier Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I love watching the goblins, they look like someone playing a game of snake as they weave between buildings...I like it when barbarian hordes line up; they remind me of caterpillars. Quote Link to comment

Schmopey Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 In preparation for the upcoming war (Tuesday as usual and we'll start it later as requested), what do folks think of our defensive troop strategy? I was pretty quick to fill the castles with wizards, and a couple of folks didn't get a chance to change the request message to let me know they were interested in a dragon; I will delay filling the castles that can fit dragons this time. That being said, I also respectfully request that no one fill the castles with lower level troops. Thanks! 1 Quote Paladin Aspirant Level 3 STR: 13 DEX: 3 STA: 9 CON: 9.33 WIS: 6.66 CHA: 6 MyFitnessPal Challenges: First, Second, Third, Fourth Link to comment

The troops in the war base castles are purely for defense, so troops with splash damage are most desirable (wizards and dragons). We then usually use archers or minions to fill in any left over spaces. I can make level5 wizards which are much more powerful than level 1, thus I took on the responsibility of providing the majority of our defensive troops for the last war.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah, I want to go dragon this time too. They're way more of a PITA than wizards since you can't just bolt them.

Schmopey has been making L5 Wizards. I don't think there's more than a couple people who can do that. That said, a few of us make L2 Dragons to give as well.Schmopey, just let me know who needs dragons and I'll queue them up for that day. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment

Frost of the Gloaming Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 That's always the way, "wooohoooo my shield is up for another few hours and I only need x gold so I can upgrade" and the shiled will go down with only a few hundred more gold needed and you end up getting attacked and end up losing about 20k or so lol Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

That puts me in a bracket (bronze) that keeps me from being targeted much. Who wants to go up against someone 4x their size, after all?
