/rant The amount of loot lost to raids is unreasonable!!! I spend most of the day trying to save for the castle and it all gets taken away in one or two attacks! E.G. My TC is Medieval. In two attacks I lost over 350,000 food, more than I had gained in 2-3 hours of raids. One attack was a "victory" and the second was a defeat. It's not worth the effort!!!!

Either upgrade your defenses or get the food and start the upgrade before you log out.

defense has been generally inadequate in the game, but. Notice that the developers did respond to a comment that tower range at 3 was inadequate, so now our towers are hitting at 7 (or 6 for ballista towers.). I see game developers responding to our concerns so that is great. I think the weakness of defense has forced people to spend all their resources each time they log out, to minimize losses. Sometimes you just can't because you're trying to save for a big upgrade. That's when you have to expect one fourth of your resources to get stolen every time you log out. One for the blackbird, one for the bee -- one for the beggar-man and one for me! Whole game is slower and slower and slower if you're not buying crowns -- it is the only way to make time be on your side. Personally I may lose interest when the time lags get too long. I can only get maybe 20 k of resources on a mediocre raid, making a 500k improvement crazy expensive. Also, if I only have 10 workers, i we'd rather have 6 of them available to hunt the bear that yields 18k gold ... The balance issues get worse when we look at the high cost of upgrading vs the low yield of raiding.

I've had to resort to a farming base (TC outside, storage surrounded by walls)....i don't like it in this game....I'd prefer to have an actual town layout but I'll quit if things keep up like they were...so far, I've had better luck. Now I just have an ugly town....

jut got to medieval and the bigger upgrades are crazy.
I can only get average 30k loot per raid, so have to raid for 2hrs straight otherwise log out and lose most of it.
production is too slow, defense is useless when gunpowder people move down in medals and stomp you.
this is getting to be a drag and a pain.

what's the strategy to progress???

At 1.5million gold over 3 markets, a full blown attack nicks at absolute maximum 300k, which should net you a 12h peace. If you know you have less than 30min to play, then leave that peace until you can get an hour or 2 raiding and violla. I myself am sitting at 1460 medals in enlightment, my cheapest upgrade is 2.9mil... At the moment i am waiting for villagers to free up (2.5days) so i can burn my 3.5mil gold. Yes an attack on me cost me around 3-400k gold. A shrine and following peace gives me back about 2-300k of that loss.

Tower range was never at 3. There has been no change to the range for anything.

Really? I find a max vault to be useless. And you can only loot 300k from and enl age player. Gp max is 250k. Med 200k etc.
