I think the guide could have been written better and included more info such as...
1) signs you need to sko
- your spies are being zeroed. This means the other side is preparing to attack ko you - most likely you will see a slew of hits. If the other side ATTK ko you, it hurts your side - so be ready to SKO fast. Remember because of lag and huge # of inc...you will b ko b4 u know it if your not attentive.
2) how to re-sko. Know what kind of war your in - adv, random or classic. And find out ur comin out time by tryin to spy someone who is up the moment your spies regen - u will get a message lettin u know when you r comin up. Once u find ur time, attk spam - get rid of ur troops first so you dun get plundered bad. Once ur troops gone, then steal w/o pots til u ko urself
3) plunderin to sko. Troops need to be gone fast then SB til ur spies are under 15% then steal without pots. Steal w/o pots helps when u have 5 guys SB u tryin to ko u.
4) sometimes sko is hard when ppl sittin on u. At least dun get attk ko-Ed if u can help it.
