Ok so I've been playing this game for a while now and I want to address something I've seen more and more frequently. New players building towers! Ok so as a previous clan owner, admin, forumer I don't understand why so many new players build towers. Are more experienced players suggesting this or is this an ignorance issue? I've reset, and made alts and every time at the early stages I've been attacked maybe 5 times a month if that and have never seen the use if early tower builds.
Maybe because you don't anyone? I bet if you attacked the BL at low stats, you'd get PLENTY of incoming. All you do is hit EBs.
As a newcomer you naturally don't want to get crushed, so you build defenses. What provides the most defense? Towers of course, but new players aren't aware of the pros and cons so they just build them unaware of how bad they are early on.
When I started I built towers, solely to help against incoming. I'd think this is the same reason players do now - they are solely built as a defensive response, without the knowledge of how making gold (based on buildings) works. Education tends to kill them off.
