Are defensive buildings good for wars?

  1. I should add that if are worried about pot loss in RW, you shouldn't have joined... Lol.
     
  2. Defense gives u a 5% plunder bonus im pretty sure
     
  3. Depends, you need some attack or you are just a wall basically. This can be argued many ways but how i see it a defense is good in war but you need to be able to attack so maybe try defense towers that give troops or try balance with a few defense buildings. Up to you. :)
     
  4. Well i like cathedrals. Overall it has more points ya know. So i had 100k def and 80 atk. Well a guy with 90 atk tried to atk me but failed and i could to him. Same amount of buildings as him
     
  5. Defense towers give no plunder...
     
  6. I  my def towers.

    It's called "static defense". I think most of you are missing the point of why you build towers in the first place.

    And If you're so concerned about a little plunder loss just go hide in a corner and hit eb's all day.
     
  7. Defense towers are definitely a plus in war especially the 48 hour one, unless you don't plan to sleep. However, I don't think you should consider building any of the towers until you're half way thru the highlands. For smaller builds the pots should do the job just fine.
     
  8. Yes defensive buildings are the #1 in wars, the more he better chances u defend in attacks/spys, having pots with ur defense buildings will make it higher for u as well

    Hope kaw!
     
  9. this is my opinion:

    currently, the t2 defense buildings are highly under powered, so it is useless to have them as the plunder loss and price does not make up for the static defense.

    T2 spy defense building are highly useful in war. I suggest you get some of those for both on and off system, particularly osw, as it makes strips more difficult.

    The attack buildings which give higher defense stats such as the titan lair are good buildings to have. This is where you have to make a choice: Do you want to have attack strength to be able to hit opponents that have similar or higher stats than you? If so, then I would suggest putting up a few attack heavy buildings, such as the cursed foundry. Or just go CoE- it will even out your attack and defense.

    Plunder is not an issue in osw, but you did get higher plunder with the titan--- but you will make less gold because you can't hit larger targets... so this evens its self out once again.

    Build how you want to. Any build can be a good war build as long as you are active and know the basics. I suggest you go to forums- wars- and read wulf's guide to system wars and meisha's guide to off system wars. Both are stickied and are very informative.

    Because this is an opinion thread, and while my opinion is always supreme and right, I will leave this open :)
     
  10. Attack is best defense cuz if u pin someone they can't attack u :lol:
