Sacrificing troops for points is not really a good idea, going for high points is not something you should do. Of course with the exception of a warehouse as it doesn't cost you troops. Plus on morale worlds higher points equals weaker attacks.
The extra troops you get are well worth having a low workshop.
The walking duration does not matter when sniping from the same village that is under attack. You snipe by sending troops out and recalling them at different times within the last 20 mins before the attack hits.
Now sending support trains to land to a different village gives you 5 attempts per walking distance. And that's for each village you have within range. So with all those attempts you are bound to land some in between the nobles.
sorry mate i know what im doing, and last thing i need right now is someone trying to falsify my theory by twitching words.
u said snipe from the same village.
well tell u what , which way do u use snipe more ? by sending troops to a barb or snipe it from one of ur own vills ?
i've been playin TW for almost 2and a half years , and if i was going to count how many times i sniped from the village that was under attack, i can , not many , but if i was gonna count from a neighboring village i had, i cant , its too many. sniping a village from a neighboring village can be more common , unless in a special case where u dont have troops nearby and only in the village that is being hit. thats when u use the "send it to a barb or to one of ur other vills" .
lvl 15 workshop in total takes 72 troop space, now tell me 72 troop space is almost negligible , im never said build ur villages to uber 12k pts, i was answering to the question for how to build a 10k village which in that case , i'd rather have something that will benefit me in the buildings than something that will not.
i build my HQ lvl 30 in front lines , u dont like that ? thats ur problem, but u will clearly see that a lvl 30 HQ will build up the wall just nicely , u can demo it later when its no longer under threat. and in backline villages i usually have them at lvl
all i want to say is people have learned TW to be black and white , people go like wow this and that uber player said troops are awesome and they win wars not pts.
^ but everyone missed the fact that maybe those players were trying to convince new players to just concentrate on troops for the love of god and not just pts.
at the end of the day , ur village build cannot and should not be the same in all the areas , ur buildings are a part of the big strategy, u can use just tiny little details to have the upper hand in a battle.
eventually we are human, and u should always keep in mind that a human error can occure , even a connection error can occur so having more attempts at a snipe will always be good.
But u have 4 sniping attempts not 5 , unless u want to snipe with nobles , now thats way to desperate .
for me having all villages at the same pts is lame , its a waste of time almost, nobody is going to bother to look at ur villages pts and try and guess which one might be the church, instead , all it takes a simple logic , the map can tell u alot about which of the villages are potential church or not.
personally anything that is between 9672-10000 is an ok build , a workshop + here a hidding place - there it wont change a thing .
all those little things can be adjusted according to ur positioning.
the important thing is to have ur mines full,unit buildings full, except for workshop around 5 in backlines and 7~10 in front lines markets around 18~20 depends how much u shift resources so on and so fourth , this is too basic >_>
