Top 5 attackers
Raise an army
Do you want to lead a horde as wide as the horizon, causing enemies to flee at the sheer sight of it? Or do you prefer a squad of military experts, beating a dozen men each without breaking a sweat. How you dominate is up to you. And don't worry about defenses. Nobody wants to give your army a reason to visit.
Raid, conquer and cause some mayhem
Your favorite strategy begins with a rampage. Why waste time harvesting resources, when you can knock down your neighbor's door and ask politely. Demolish common enemies and strangers will become friends. And friends happily donate resources to keep peace. Soon, word will spread of the warrior who seizes what he wants and your demands will be met with respect.
You are the champion
Do you conquer their villages or burn them to the ground? Which building should meet your catapults first? Some decisions are harder than others, but you don't have to make them by yourself. Find some allies, multiply your power and attack from all angles. Don’t choose how to fight – choose how to win.
Harder than Steel
Stand your ground. Outlast attack after attack until they grow tired and desperate. Don't waste your time with petty fights. You are in this for the long run. Soon, the size of your walls will crush any hopes of conquest and your foe's puny villages will live in the shadow of your fortress. Your strategic finesse won't go unnoticed. Group together, form a regional superpower and end this war on your terms.
