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.
@Ashanta: Well said.
@Red: Well said.
@neko-lord: And Ill add a 3rd way that you could pull that off in Age II in addition to Reds two ways... put a "bait" city with a level 10 embassy next to the player you want to own. Let the enemy colonize it. Then reinforce the city with your 900k phrats and send in another 500k archers and 1 million warriors. Then, have members of your alliance garrison the level 10 embassy with 1 million other troops (sword, pike, balls, whatever). Then put a ambush from all sides strategem on the enemies city to trap all their troops in it. Then uprise. Or you can do a number of other strategems in combination.
