dont mean to be rude strike, but that is what good defense and offense are all about. you could clear 15k berimes and 50k troops if you are good in offense. and that is what one will face after 6 months now in real wars. don't you agree?
The reason we haven't been attacking Carp is because it is difficult to judge How much is worth it.
We can take a few cities from him but end up giving him and his minions thousands of DBP.
In the end it just comes up to numbers.. Grepolis is so heavily favored for defender. Carp has 2.5k Land Defense behind a lvl 25 wall and tower.. so it is going to take about 2-3 cities worth of troops to clear that.
So when him and his minions have got about 140 cities amongst them.. it is going to take us at-least around 300 cities to clear them. Not to mention the rate at which carp builds his wall back up lol.
But we are attacking him today, Lets see how it goes. No matter how much of an irritant he is, he is a good fighter and has unlimited gold. So this should be fun!
