I said your srategy is better, i train around 750k+ deff to (natars+deffs ect. kill some) but i focused more the infra and less the production, so i make 24 village account, with 17 lvl 15c and reserves stolen goods ect. so you start train so much ealier, i train so much faster, your strategy better to the kingdom ( because you can help the deff before the ww-s come, i have only around 50k deff before the 107. day when i start the full time production), my better to my crop consumption. But we make standing deffs (where the treasury holder feed the deff, because we have 400k+ treasures in the end, so we can do this) , and i make big trades ( i mean not 1:1 , so for example i give 200clay and get 250k iron, because i use gold its dosent matter too much, and other players not, so they get the res what hthey want ( but they write to me, or wrie in public, i dont write players about this, because as i think 1:1 trade the most fair
)and some player send more (some time lot of )crop to the ww-s to help me to feed my troops, I think if nobody help , i cant training all my stable. But its not hurt anyone game (because the top1 hammer , top3 roman hammer, top1 farmer ect. was the person who send more). But it was a really hard job to feed them, so i dont know when i will play this hard again
So your 3 player account style also better, because one player not tired as much
I plan to make more deff, and if im right i could have been 50-60k more deff if i work harder, but i farm less and trade less in the summer ( summer is not the best play time), so i dont have enought res to make more stable, and some times some of my barrack are empty , because i use all my res to feed the troops
And this style also not perfect, so if somebody calculated enought much , play with 1-2 dual or/and sitter its too hard to have better deff, so im curious
But at least i can prove to if you are the top1 pop its dosent mean you dont have army
If anybody have questions or ect. you can write me in private, but i dont want to speak too much here, because i want see more good picture and less speak about my
So have a nice game all, and make more big deff to show ; not only the hammer size can be amazing
