Attack Build (OAF) The Attack Build consists of troop type buildings only, this build will just about always win it's first attack unless it is grossly under the enemy's ally stats. The only thing is you'll almost always lose when defending against an attack or a spy attack. Balanced Build The Balanced Build consists of an even number of (approximately) even balance attack and defence type buildings. This build will nearly always win in either attack or defence against a build, however it will usually lose against a spy attack. Defensive Build A Defensive Build consists of an even number of (approximately), even balance attack and defence type buildings. These builds will nearly always win in defence, but will rarely win in an attack. Mixed Build A Mixed Build has so many variations. The most common one though is 8 spy buildings and 16 troop buildings, assuming lowland complete build only. This build offers good spy defence and spy attack, as well as ok attack. Pure Spy Build (OSF) A Pure Spy Build Consists of Guilds or Stronghold of Shadows. These builds will nearly always win in a spy attack, but have no attack troops. These builds are anonymous and serve well as OSFs but give out low plunder. Hansel/Hybrid Build A Hansel Build consists of Guilds or Stronghold of Shadows along with 1 Troop Building. A Hybrid build is the same, except without the troop building. These builds are good for allowing a couple of hits or for spying and being 'too weak' to attack. Hybrids are good for opening then putting up a troop building to keep you from getting unwanted hits. Also, Hansel builds are unable to be hit with no gold out other then by another Hansel build or a very weak player. Tower Build A Tower Build consists of Defensive Towers or Defensive Fortresses. These builds have no troops, however, they are good for allowing free steals or scouts, gold must be available to steal for this strategy. These builds are difficult to win against in an attack. Turtle Build Turtle Builds have lots of different variations. A turtle build is any build with higher defence then possible with full troop buildings. This build often contains lots of towers and very few troop buildings. These builds are very rare.
