    Default scout bombs

    im just wondering if any 1 knows about the the defence troop combo to have when u got a scout bomb incoming??? what i mean is lets say u have like 150k archers and only like 80k warriors and a few other layers in ur city and u get scout bombed but it still hits the warriors even tho u got twice the amount archers than other troops, and no i dont mean by moving ur archers out of the city or involving alot of swords lol, i came across it by accident when i was scout bombed a few months ago and u got to have a certain troop combo in defence, but dont bother asking me the troop combo as i will never tell its my secret lol, im just wondering if any 1 else knows about it as i only know of 2 other ppl that do

    If you're online, close your gates for scout bombs.

    Agree on closing your gates. But if you want them to hit your warriors instead of arch...you have to have 3 times as many warriors.

    If you have a ridiculous amount of archers, then normally you can just send some to a close valley for scout bombs. Great tactic...normally takes anywhere from 11k-20k warr per bomb. Hope that helps.

    But best thing is to close gates if you have full walls. Easier to build walls back up then massive amounts of archers.

    The targets are based off your troops. You can send 100k archers to a friend's city and have them send 100k archers to your city. Now you both have the same amount of troops, and the same upkeep as you had before this "trade." But, you each have 100k archers that don't count toward the attacker's targeting calculations.

    well i sure didnt send no archers to my friend but i did get reinforced with archers tho, i just remember the troop combo i had in defence but next time i get bombed i will repeat that defence combo without reinforcements to see if it still works that way, but still i dont think that was the reason cus without the archers i got reinforced with i would of still had more archers than warriors so that cant be it, it would of still took out some of my archers but it didnt, i would of shut my gates but i had an arch wave coming behind it, thats the only reason the gates wer open and thats how i found out about this defence combo lol

    Maybe it's not what you did, but I know of a couple players that do this. At least they used to, as of the last time I talked to them. They traded all of their archers with each other, and that made the archers LAST priority in their cities despite troop totals. It was very clever, I thought. It may not explain how it happened for you that one time, but it is a method you can use to repeat the effect.

    For SBs either close the gates, have 3x more warriors then archers or have 2x more swords then archers. If there is a combo where SBs don't hit archers it is probably a glitch that will get fixed sooner or later.

    Of course, this is nonsense

    Very true.
    And that '32-bit buffer overflow' glitch was fixed just recently.

    And Dougy, here's something for your thoughts:

    I'm just wondering if anyone knows the invincible trap defence?? What I mean is let's say you have no troops and have only traps... and you get attacked... but the attacker always loses even though you have no troops at all... and no, i dont mean by moving all your troops out of the city or involving a lot of reinforced troops lol... I came across it by accident when I was attacked a few months ago... and you got to have a certain number of traps in defence, but dont bother asking me for the exact number of traps as I will never tell... its my secret lol, I'm just wondering if anyone else knows about it as I only know of 2 other ppl that do, one of which is old Mrs Green down the street...
