You are correct BUT! don't forget you can only reinforce 1million troops at a time and easy would it be to just feint attack one or two and pound another lol real easy to do.

One theory is that they are camoflaging their main city.. Either way you could really never produce the resources necessary to support any type of attacking army. Just imagine 9 or 10 valleys per city up there.
