  2. Note: testing was done with all builds having lvl 2 castle.
     
  3. @666- I don't have a hybrid build, I only have attack, pures, and hansels to test with.

    I trust my own testing and don't wish to give information based on what others say.
     
  4. So then if I offered to help on the hybrid part.... Is that a no?

    Only trying to help. 
     
  5. I'd love the help, actually.
     
  6. I just want it to be accurate.
     
  7. Lol, just tell me what you need me to do and I'll be glad to be your test subject, if you like. :3
     
  8. Very informative. I love this 
     
  9. Nice.. Hybrids work the same way. As long as you have more attack buildings than spy buildings, it will work like an attack build. If you have more spy buildings than attack buildings, it will work like a hansel
     
  10. @fear. I'll be testing hybrids after my brain stops hurting. Lol.
     
  11. Good thread belle ,, this is the kind of information most players today don't know, yet very useful in stripwar
     
  12. Very well written plain and simple .Easy to understand and i see no discrepancies.
     
  13. Thanks for this belle :)

    Very useful for everyone. I like it ;)

    Simple to read too
     
  14. Belle: are you sure that item 3a os correct? I didn't think the game mechanics made any distinction between a hansel and any other build with a combination of troops and spies. If a hansel can attack someone, anyone with troops should be able to attack.

    That is very interesting if it's different. Odd that the devs would make special rules just for a hansel build.
