Why Strategy? If you look in the forums often for strategies, then you don't know how to play kaw. Strategy is an impulse that we all have. Instead of following all of these guides out there designed to help you, you should think within and see what fits best for you. No one can tell you what builds you should build. It is more of an impulsive suggestion from the community. What do you want to build. Builds are your character. You can have a strong defensive build but that just says that you don't want to create war but create peace and not create problems. You just want to make it in this virtual life of KaW. So why is it that we make guides for other people. We want a thriving community of people just like you. But that is not what everyone wants. We are all diverse. So guides can help you with your way in the beginning but later in life we all choose our own path. It helps with knowledge and teaches a new player how to play the game. So guides may be helpful but making a guide means equality. That may be good but not very diverse. So you get to choose your own path. You can be part of a clan or lead a clan. The talks of being a noob and having a noob clan does not make the person or the clan better, it makes them feel bad and not want to continue playing KaW. Being a noob has lost its meaning now. If I ask you what the definition of a noob is, can you tell me? We all try to make it in this world so don't put down other people. We are all like you, and you are all like me but with variations. So why try to make people like you? Stop calling each other noobs and appreciate each other. This is not a guide but a reason to appreciate the things that KaW has done for us. So Why Strategy?
Because reading guides helps new players become familiar with the game. It's like trying to form an opinion over something you know nothing about.
The main reason that guides are made for the same type of build is that most people have the same goal: to make a lot of money, but never have any disturbances to their money-making strategy (farmers, wars, failed EB). Most people seem to prefer to make a lot of money and get stronger than to play the game as it was made: attacking people and having wars. If everyone just does EBs and makes money, they want a build that gives the most plunder with the least effort. That's what many guides help people build.
