Most Popular way to grow an OSF. Can only be attacked by the very weak and by other Hansels if you have no gold out. Almost always wins at Spy Activities like Stealing, Scouting, & Assassination Stealing Success means people don't know who just stole from them so you fear no retaliation unless you have a failed attempt. -NEGATIVES- Very low attack means you can only hit the very weak, other Hansel, and Pure Spy Builds (OSF) Quest success is dependant on Attack & Defense Stats combined with Troops so you will fail at almost every quest attempt.

Even though they are more profitable than standard OSF/OAF they are less common due to the total lack of troops.

The most common one though is 8 spy buildings and 16 troop buildings. The Regulator guide Recommends this build at Tier 3 -POSITIVES- This build offers good spy attack and spy defense as well as adequate attack and defense. Over 200b less expensive to make an Tower Build OSF than a Pure Spy OSF -NEGATIVES- You should not mix Attack Troop buildings with Defense Troop buildings. (see why below).

Therefore we recommend that if you decide to mix troop buildings in your mixed build you mix Attack with Balanced or Defense with Balanced but never Attack with Defense.
I do admit it's pretty well written.. But, sorry, I'm pretty sure someone may have made something like this. Good job though!
You mean the one you took from the regulator's site? Pretty sure this ain't from you, either. Edit: Yes, this one's shamelessly ripped off aswell.
No. He can't, and that's the point. Bedding, If you post stuff from someone else, atleast have the courtesy of giving the credit where it's due. Namely, to those who really wrote it, what you're doing now looks suspisciously like passing it off as your own. :roll: And FYI, the transfer guide was already reposted here by Maxfactor yesterday.
GoodJob Mate, thank you for your well written and assertive post. It will help newcomers and the old players as well to choose the build.
I have a question, i kinda just started a few weeks ago. Im a guild lvl 4 hansel. 31 lands so far. In your guide you said t4l3 buildings make more gold than guild lvl4. Is that true?
Oh wow well done, actually giving pros and cons And it all looks quite unbiased This thread made me happy
