Can't edit the original post anymore. And I don't have enough time. The best advice from me at the moment is to ask a war commander with experience.
I need to make sure I understand this. So a hybrid can attack (using troops not spies) a hansel with no gold out, even if thirty troops are zeros? Does the hansels spies need to be above 25%?
Its mass xtal not group xtal. You left out mole, leak, leech, waving and inactives. All very important in ee wars.
The OP of this thread is inactive now, and I believe some of the info has changed/can be added to. In any case, if someone with knowledge wants to remake/repost this with any new changes, that would be great.
