Yes it does make a big difference. I use to only have one city till I could defend a second. Well I never was able to get the second city cause I would be farmed daily. It was not till I started building 2 or 3 cities at first that the tide had turned for me. Once I did that the game had changed it course for me. I became the attacker instead of the attackee
