Now, imagine how many other players totally new to the game go through the same thing I went through? Problem was.... I had already invested so much time and money into my cities that it did not make sense to abandon them and capture 10's.
As for your comment on HC's. Exactly. It is way too easy to load them up with insane troop numbers and just sit back and be invincible and/or account share.
Fair enuf, and congrats for ignoring the emotive part of my reply lol

Yeah, when I started, I didnt know about 10s either. It was very painful to dump good cities to grab HCs etc

I didnt play AgeI

Particularly on the older servers, it is very hard to dump cities with good colonies. Alot of work to take them back

After dumping a few tho, I came to believe that its about having 2-3 good regular cities & the rest largely disposable.

There will still be work involved upping the rez fields & barracks on 10s. At the same time tho, I find little difference between upgrading 1 city or multiple at the same time. I try to upgrade cities in batches to reduce the workload.
