i'm in the medieval age with only a few defensive upgrades left. i'd recommend rushing to classical and then staying there and maxing that. farming was shockingly easy there, so i'd cap everything. i don't expect to finish all my library research at medieval. instead, i'm planning on staying...

this happens to me constantly. it's annoying. i have no problem with someone scouting me and then attacking my base. fair is fair, after all. but i shouldn't have to wait 5-10 minutes for MULTIPLE (I'm assuming it's multiple people, given how long I'm locked out) to scout my base -- after...

@OP: couldn't disagree with you more 1. Unique units should only be cosmetic, not stat differences!! disagree. i'd welcome some balancing when wars come out, but i've seen all nations be successful. unique units don't make a huge difference in farming. 2. Nations should provide a special bonus...

seriously. i've never had an issue attacking as Germans and i can't wait to train the library research that improves are rally buff further!

Come on already. Attack me or don't. Is this a bug? It's not uncommon for me to get this message 5 minutes in a row. Does that mean multiple people are scouting me while I'm waiting to sign in? Cause if so, that needs to be fixed ASAP.

wow. hats off to you. i thought for sure this thread would have been closed, per the clash of clans moderator standards (which go overboard, IMO).

interesting. are you farming with this lineup or just hitting once every few hours?

I understand keeping resources low to make yourself a less attractive target. but at late classical, when you're upgrading your town center and you already have two maxed catapults, you're probably storing lots of both resources (like in your pic above). i'd prefer a design that protects all...

eh, i used blackbrain's layout for classical. i wasn't attacked much, either, and i didn't have to focus on one resource at a time. plus, blackbrain's layout allows the ballista to cover both catapults, which i think is key. otherwise, you get a situation where people can tank your catapult...

My goals at Classical (and frankly, my goals since i began this game) were to maximize resources. i did this two ways: 1) protecting storages as best as possible, especially relying on catapults; 2) giving away my town center to gain peace treaties from people looking for medals. this base...

it looks like you're early classical -- i'd check out blackbrain's classical base that he posted in a different thread. in classical, i tried to keep my ballista in range of my mortar (like you have), but also separated by a wall. the reason for that was so the ballista could snipe cataphracts...

i'm only early medieval age, so please take my response with a grain of salt. the plusses or minuses can change depending on which age you're in. i'd say that Japanese and Germans are strongest through classical by a huge margin because the heavy vandal/samurai troop seems broken at classical...

Yeah, I've only had two legit attacks (multiple tactics, colosseum buff, mercs, everything you can bring, really). Both of those attacks were able to target core and didn't really go in a big loop, particularly the archers, who just shoot core once they bust in. but only really the knights...

I've had decent success with this layout. I'm definitely still learning where the best place for everything is-- will have a better idea after I finish my catapult upgrades and get my castle.

i suppose that strategy works if you're willing to completely rebuild an army after each attack. personally, i prefer having fewer troops to retrain -- it's not just cheaper in food costs, but dramatically cheaper in training time.
