Many people do not war and avoid confrontation because they are afraid of getting stripped. Here are a few tips and tricks to stop that nasty strip farm from happening! -First and Foremost - If you are being stripped (You see your allies being hired fast and in groups) - Self Pin - Go to the quest menu and get rid of all your troops - Pick one of the people targeting you and spy away all your spies (Doesn't matter if you win) * Play dead - Don't write on walls, don't hit back. Try to get them to strip you while you are on. That way you can Bank in pots. *If you are awake and want to mess with them. Pull up the ally screen and start buying a bunch of really crappy in active allies (Most Strip farmers don't have the time to actually shop your allies they are focused on just hiring your allies) *Build Spy Towers - 700k is a good number to shoot for. This stops them from being able to effectively Farm away your gold and forces them to get a lot more people involved. You will preserve your gold and the dreaded spys will be forced to crystal if they really want to farm it away. Not to mention they will have to use pots to get through as well. *Don't Forget your Spy Allies - These can really help give you that competitive edge against the strip farmers. *Don't respond to their threats, if you show weakness or complain that is exactly what they are looking for and want. *If a pure spy is stealing you hit him back! He just opened privately for you. *Don't Panic! Be calm - The strip farmers are most likely panicking trying to get all your allies hired before you can react! *Setup notifications on your iphone. Never hurts to take a peak here and there to see if you are being hit and have a large number of notifications. *Bank in Pots - Yes you will lose some gold but not as much! Remember if they are stripping you they are losing gold too, especially if they are drop stripping you. *If you are not BC upgrade! Nothing like liquidating your assets to get a couple of quick upgrades building back up the few billions you need for max plunder won’t be that hard. *When ally shopping its ok to buy the big guys but make sure you have lots of little guys! Use your slots. Nothing discourages a strip farmer more than seeing 250 allies he has to try to buy before you can react. Let’s hear some more tips and tricks from the community! Now that you now some ways to avoid the strip farm maybe we will be less afraid of the bullies and more willing to fight!
My goodness this is worse than English 101! That is what I get for not running it through word first!
Also, try to not tell people where u r from as they can figure out 'play time' for u via TZ. Keep them guessing.
You also want to try and intimidate them with whoever you're freinds with. Find their freinds and strip them if they're weak. If all else fails, kiss their ass and grovel. Im striped at least once a week because I'm in a farming clan, so I have experience with this. Half the time you can appoligise and they'll leave you alone. Even if you don't mean it.
Attacking the person stripping gives them wins, and alerts them you're awake. Quest if you must self pin. Towers Pots Friends Using up all slots too. Good point Leave phone on game when sleeping and you'll hear a strip happen. Not all the 250 allies being bought but a whole clan stealing will vibrate your phone like mad! The push notifications are not operational yet for "your kingdom is under attack" and "igodv2 left a message on your wall" although the devs have been working on them through several recent versions of the game. Maybe it'll launch soon, but it will be a new show stopper in war if Push actually starts working and stripouts become harder.
oops too late i already know where you are and you are next on my strip target list joking gid, am sure you have no clue who i am xD.
robin what do u think about the idea of the mods making a tournament to promote real wars? One big tournament, the mods says the rules and they make sure that nobody cheats! Sorry about my english XD
Fantastic robin . I tend to get stripfarmed a LOT for sticking up for what I believe in . This should help me quite a bit in the future thanks a LOT mate.
You can't "cheat" in a real war. The only thing I wouldn't do is merc, because I think it is a weak move, and dishonorable.
