    Sadly for the new guys the changes have made them targets. I have posted about this else where so i will only sum up your problems .
    1 I need more resources then I can produce.
    2 I need more resourcesthen I can raid from barbs.
    3 I am at war with other large players and burn resources fast fighting them.
    4 I lose NOthing and gain what ever you have laying around if I spend the total of 4 seconds it takes me to send a samll raiding party your way.


    I want to be nice I Really do but I have little choice then to feed on the little fish within 30 minutes or so of me. It is the only way I can afford to fight the other sharks in the pool. Consider that one of my allaince mates just baught half a billion in food to get him by for the next 3 days you can do the math. 24 hour barb regens equals take anyhting and everyhitng that is not nailed down near you.

    Exactly. My ultimate defense/offense tactic only takes 138K in each village, just over the 125K attack limit. This army can defeat any attack, and wipe out a much numerically stronger player when attacking. It's perfect. Oh wait. It eats 7.5 million food an hour. All this did was make it so building 300k archers, which is very easy to feed, makes you invincible because the units needed to beat it, are not attainable due to food upkeep. Stop telling people to just come up with strategies, because this "fix" killed any strategy by removing 30% of the units that can be built, from the game. The game is now TRULY nothing but archer bashing, which will favor the defender every single time. People are just going to turtle up, and only attack players who are weaker.

    MY gender does not enter into the equation but warfare on my server is already getting nuts. The army sizes are required to even try to maintain ranking. It is after all a military PVP game no matter how much people try to make it other wise. A bigger and better trained army equals a better chance of my alliance doing well.

    What units? If I'm online, and I'm always online thanks to always being near a computer, then I could conciveably kill it with taking no more than 21 units killed on my side depending on what was sent.

    I'm a new player, "a small guy" and I have to admit that the changes scare me because I keep hearing this. If I wasn't in a good alliance I would be a great target. I really am loving this game and I'm hoping that it doesn't die because of this very issue.

    Well, since he's not going to tell me what units are being sent, I'll just have to tell all. Backing up those 137K units I have, is 18,333 Archer Towers (and yes, that's pure AT's on a lv 10). As long as there are no ballistas, then I only need 6-7 rounds for them to kill a mass archer with meat shield army. 1 worker, warrior, pike, sword, archer, and scout can distract archers for 6 rounds. With lv 10 Military Science and a high attack hero, then all those units can be rebuilt in less than 1 minute. The archer takes 1 min, the other take less than 30 sec, some only 10 sec. As long as there is 30 sec between waves, I can garuntee at least 5 rounds of free firing by the AT's. Since I'll only lose 5-7 units per attack, I can kill 7 100K waves with only losing 35-49 units and less than 50 AT's when it's over. Where there's a will, there's a way.
