Ok well first thing I'm gonna say is that this is my very first guide. So please be nice You may be wondering why would you want to go spy? Well there a few reasons, but the bigger factors are: 1. Spy hits are hidden, so long as you don't lose. 2. The "Too Weak" Advantage. (explained later) 3. Spies are handy in war as they can scout enemies and find out what there build is, and use it against them. 4. Able to assassinate troops so allies have a higher chance of success. But there are always bad things that come with good. Some are as follows: 1. Pure spies are often hit by noobs off battle list. GET A LIFE lol 2. No ally plunder 3.harder to earn cash. (most money I get from a 0 pot lcbc attacker is 7mil) 4. People are asking you to open for them The "Too Weak" Advantage. If a pure spy (NO attack build what so ever) banks all cash in potions. And leaves 0 gold out. They cannot be hit at all. Some people exploit this to win wars e.g You challenge a clan, but no one joins except the spy. The spy then uses the "too weak" advantage to prevent any hits. At 1 point during the war, they steal from someone on the opposite side, thus putting them in the lead. After doing that the spies clan, then attacks the spy to "drain" the cash. Preventing any hits. BUILDING YOUR KINGDOM There are two ways of building spy. The way I did it was by firstly starting out with attack. Building all forges, anf keeping your ally plunder maxxed, till about your 1.2bil land. At that point is when you should start building guilds. From here you can either convert all forges (except one or two) into lv3 guilds OR convert 1 forge at a time directly to lvl4. After about 3-4 lv4 guilds you then buy your next land, then convert another 3-4 guilds to lv4. GUILD PRICES & STATS: Lv1: Costs 25k Troops are 500 Ally stat is 150 Lv2: Cost 2.5mil Troops are 1500 Ally stat is 900 Lv3 Cost 75mil Troops are 4500 Ally stat is 5400 Lv4 Cost 900mil Troops are 9000 Ally stat is 13500 All together a MAX guild costs 977.5mil PLZ REMEMBER THIS IS MY FIRST GUIDE!! be nice Hope it helped a bit atleast.
