Spy/defense Towers should u have em?

Towers are a good static defense for warring. Only issue is they give no ally or troop plunder.

 

Good idea to

 

I wouldn't buy towers if I were you. Not worth it.

 

Spy defense fortresses is what you need when you reach a few million stats and have billions and billions of gold into allies. It helps a lot when people strip farm you to 0 allies and gold. It slows them down lots when you have more spy defense in towers than they do in spy attack.

 

For now, keep building until you get big enough for Actual big wars.

 

I wouldwait until about 4-5 mil comb before thinking about towers. Not essential for growing players. However it comes down to your choice in the end.

 

Simple answer: yes.

Don't get yourself in the same position as other noobs and say, "Well I'm still growing and I don't plan on doing wars soon so I'll wait to put towers up," then all of a sudden find yourself in a war situation and your spy def sucks. Most of the time, you don't go looking for wars, they find you. And at the beginning of wars one of the first things the other side will do is scout your roster for easy strips...a towerless build is a prime target.

 

At your current size, yes, do build spy defense towers to at least ~200k soy defense more than attack.

 

I agree with kreep. I never let my size determine when I'd war. I just warred and had a blast.

 

Yea both are essential

 

Definitely recommend spy def towers and a crapload of spy def pots. I keep two during peace times and add a couple more if war breaks out.

No one has ever got into an off system war and said "damn I wish I didn't have these pesky spy def towers up" lol

 

Lmfao y'all are telling this guy towers are a good idea yet you have none yourselves.
@ OP. Your style of play should determine how many towers to put up.
if you war a lot especially strip wars. Spy towers are essential.
Keep in mind that they don't generate plunder. But on the flip side they never lose there effectiveness.

 

I add towers when I need them it's relatively easy to change builds at my size.

 

I've personally never found the need for troop defense towers.
If your being targeted self pinning is the best option.
take a look at the great war clans and there members builds.
That will give you a good idea of what works and what don't.
Most of the old school players like myself are willing to sacrifice plunder for effectiveness.
Get spy towers and invest in allies. A lot of them.
Keep a good stock of def pots at all times. 3k of each minimum.

 

Only other advice I can offer is find a good established clan. You prolly won't get into there main clan right away. But with time and effort. You'll make it.

 

Nooooooo!!!!!!! Don't get towers. Neither kind are good.

 

In regard to defense towers, I use them on another account and feel that the benefit given from static defense outweighs the loss in plunder from building them instead of an attack building. Great for when you're hitting the battle list and getting return hits at less than full troops, makes you a tough pin in war, helps in system wars when you're fighting from just above pin or people are hitting you while they're at low troops, etc.
