Wrong. Better to say you haven't figured out a way to do it yet, (without coining)

There is a way. In fact, I can think of 2 ways off the top of my head..in Age II.

First off, you wont need as many SINCE everyone builds slower, Coiner heroes with massive armor dont speed into INSTANT troops. Once you tear down a wall it takes a long time to rebuild even with the best hero.

Secondly you have the ability to build quality in age II and NOT be as vulnerable to those INSTANT 100K spam bombs.

Thirdly FB gives you many many options if you can get a group of allies working together.....Including asking your friends to concentrate on Cataphacts for you..if thats your strategy.

Your strategy may need to be modified....it may need some minor adaptations...but it is a valid strategy and can be done without coining. There are other strategies too.

However as in both Age I and II coins do give advantages...of course. But they are secondary to good strategy.
