Just going to say. For a few hours before NB and a few hours after it, I was under attack from one of the top Dogs players. After I hit his OLU while he was offline. I don't want to seem like the victim here. He sent multiple CS's, used rare tokens, golded in lots of troops...and lost 160 manties, 60 Erinyes, over 500 LS, a few k OLU and DLU, and 2 of his CS's. In exchange he repeatedly wiped out my defenses, including the support being sent from the two people in my alliance who sent support, from a long ways away.
The thing is, I am a gold farmer, and started just over a week ago. I have 4 cities now, and 3 when he started his attack, and only 1 decent city. He was attacking at 50-58% morale, into a level 20-23 wall. (Yeah I walled in conquest). Not only that, he did not research his unit buffs at the academy for all his cities...and better yet, he doesn't have active advisors.
To be fair he did say he was going to quit after taking my city. But it seems odd to me to gold in an entire LS nuke, but not pay for advisors. Considering his nearest city which he was launching his CS from is now being farmed by me...I think he might not be taking my only city worth taking. Oh, and he never used a single quake, and never sent catas in.
Kudos to the Dogs who pay to support this game while still learning to play it.
