Thanks for all the great advice.
I have no problem telling people I'm new to any individual game since, if they're going to be helpful, they will be more forthcoming with good advice. If they're going to be conquering attackers looking for an easy mark, I'll just learn that aspect of game play faster. I'd have to be attached to my city (*all the pretty pixels!*) to really give much of a care. It's all a learning process. If I make mistakes, I won't make those exact same mistakes next time - I saw there's an award you get for starting over ... so no biggie. It happens. It would have to be some pretty huge Charlie Foxtrot of a situation to get me to rage quit. Not saying it couldn't happen, (I've been reading the forums. I know there are "personalities" out there.) just saying I've dealt with the chest thumping crap before.
So farming (I'm assuming the barbs), upgrades and recruitment. Gotcha. The guy I am trying to get back as mentor suggested, as a Rule of Thumb, to have as many troops as I do points ... just as a way to keep track and all things are relative. I'm ... working on it. I tend to be more defensive to start out, as I'm still figuring the rule set and common practice as opposed to rules - they are different .... But I'll get there.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Bright Yule, Etc.
Farming? Both barbs and players.
More defensive? Just don't mix defensive and offense troops in the same village, would highly recommend you stick to one for each village.
