I only kept spies around so I'd have 0 gold, and so when people spied on me they'd lose all their spies.

You should release that aggression by using it to buy spies, then spying on Drifter and Shannow until they have no more spies.
-Adam[/QUOTE]Done that, he has no more spies.
Sadly, I cant get to do anything else, as I lose 160 troops whenever I attack him.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
Thats where my 9,000 gold went to... guess 9000 spies from the JCM village now will now have to stand in the welfare line.

You´ll never do that by turtling, I mean, a 2000 increase in defense overnight?
EDIT: Is there anyway I can fire my scouts? They find me six villages to attack, make me waste turns spying on them, and when I want to attack, they deem every one of the six villages as too weak.
Well, let's see.
He's got 1k troops and a 5% income bonus, so every 10 turns he gets 2,100 gold. Over 10 hours this amounts to 42k gold if he spends all his turns on income.
The most efficient armor gives 1 power per 4 gold, so 42k can buy 10.5k power.
If he's run the numbers he knows that at this point it's better to invest in barrack training than armor (up to a point) so if he's already at 40% bonus for armor, add 5% bonus for moderator nation, and over 10 hours he can increase his defense power by just over 15k.
Yesterday morning he was at 45k defense, and today he's at 55k defense, so he's spent perhaps half his time building troops (about 9-10 per ten turns, or about 200 troops per 10 hours) and half building defense.

You have too much gold lying around. I was doing the same - never getting much above 60, but unless I got rid of my gold every 15 minutes, I would be hit.
Now that I've got more than 58 spies and they cost money, though, I never have any gold, so I can ignore the game for hours at a time and (generally) people don't hit me.
There are a few people that will hit you even if you have no gold, but they are also busy and have to weigh the risk vs benefit.
Of course, you lose all your turn by turn gold, so it isn't a small cost, but troops are generally worth more than gold in the long run.

Problem with stacking defense is you can never stay ahead of those stacking offense. I spent almost all my time rebuilding troops, and have been able to up my offense at least 10k points since yesterday. I think I spent maybe 2 turns generating income. The most you can hope for is that others don't want to waste the troops attacking you.

Perhaps. Then again, it also depends on HOW you stack defense. I started slow, building low level armor and dfense levels at the low numbers, then I would sell off the armor when i would have enoguh to move to the next level of defense, and begoing. i think I am at the wizrd towers bons of 100% now.
I could sell off all my armor and start again..leve me prime for attack since the bonus wouldnt matter much without the armor to base the percentage off of though...hmmmm.
Or sell it all, and start stacking offense. Rummy likes that idea.
I started slow too, making sure all my men were equipped. I've got 63k Def right now, but I've been spending the last couple days upping offense. Drifter was able to make pretty easy work of me, but I was 100 or so troops behind at the time.
The main issue was that if you stack defense and leave little to no offense, you won't be able to push people back down when they get close to you. Basically all you can do is generate gold and get picked on.

If you want to spy on mr_thehun, I think I just killed the rest of his spies. It wasn't that many, did you already manage?[/QUOTE]Jesus!!!
I bow before your spies, I lost 100 just trying to spy you.

I´ll join the admins, if you want to.
Anyway, I went through that... it sucked, for a week I logged on every 5 hours or so, and spent all the income on low-level armor, and it went on for like forever to upgrade up to Wizard tower and get a good enough defense/income

I took me until last week to get over a thousand troops, and thanks to a raid by drifter, its gonna take yet another week. How the hell did he get his offense in one day to over a 100,000 I´ll never know.
