Omg, that's scary. Like when you know that a bunch of cav is gonna pop out of somewhere and kill everything you got, I wouldn't like to be one of the raided to 0 ones ^^

Wow. That's cool. The graph is a little skewed though. Hydro had settler wagons I'm sure so vil pop might have made it look a little "better".

Wow! How could they all have died so fast? That line just dropped vertically!

On topic, though, raiding is a key ingredient to wins, but it will not stop a united army from crushing your base if all you do is raid. I think it is important to keep a map-controlling army, all the while bothering your foe with raids, maybe with two raiding groups at once.

... there's a big difference between a few strips of non-upgraded walls to keep cav of your villies and people writing their name across the map in chunks of 5,000hp walls!

Is there anyone who does build triple walls in clan games by the way?
