Fairly poor observation skills if you ask me. As I have already stated, EB is the logical way to go. EB doesn't take your gold or kill your troops, and it provides a fast way to grow and earn a hefty income.
@odysseus you're an eb noob because you prefer eb's because you care about growth and gold. Actual players have fun and war, whether it be osw or farming or ewars.
Look at the name of epic BATTLES. You battle those evil creatures and war them until you defeat the EB.
Anyone on this thread (discounting OP) think that attacking something that will never ever retaliate is a "battle" And please don't ask me for an EB that hits back. I already have a migraine
... No. A battle is when an enemy hits back. Speaking of which, why don't you hit me back? Oh. You are dtw... Will do.
