EXACTLY!! If you can't defend resources, don't expect to hoarde them. It's not like you can't use transporters to move the resources.
But, you prefer the idea of untouchable cities. Yeah, that's fun. Let's all just sit here with 500k+ troops in ea city and do nothing except attack NPC's and little guys. This would at least encourage the bigger guys to attack people of similiar size.
Bottom line... defense is waaaay too overpowered.
1.You can open or close gates to decide wether to engage.
2.You can transport resources outta city before attack hits.
3.You can allocate troops from other cities to snipe defend.
4.All range units get additional wall range
5.Unlimited troop numbers to defend.
So, what does an attacker have to do? Scout a city and hope it doesn't have massive scouts to destroy all yours. Send several waves in attempt to reduce defense, generally taking much more losses. Then, send several waves of huge attacks taking larger losses until troops thinned enough. All while the whole time hoping he doesn't get reinforcements to make all your efforts in vain.
Just seems the ONLY way to break these super defenses is to allow similiar sized armies to be used in attack.
