Unfortunatly, SC has not been able to advance the game beyond farming. Tried with league system but gave up instead of tuning it/making it better/working on it. Hence, we are all stuck at very close throphy range farming. Guess that that is fine. Quite game and do something else if you don't like it.
But there is one thing that makes me giggle and truly laugh at times. Farmers (th 8, 9, and 10s) in the 1400 - 1700 range leaving fully equipped giant bombs and bombs active. Not sure what the price is for re-arming fully built out bombs, but mine are 125.000 as it stands now (about lvl 2 on giant bombs and lvl 3 on bombs).
Why on earth do you leave them armed? Dude, i attack you, maybe 100.000 gold available. And i rush in with simple/cheap archer-barb army. And "BOOM", there just went another 25k, "BOOM" another 25k. Hah, and after I am done, on top of the 100.000 i took, the player spends an additional 125.000 - 200.000 to re-arm?
Why would anyone use bombs when your not trophy hunting and at a higher level? Why spend 150.000 gold to try to protect your 100.000 gold?
left out elix since it is not most farmers primary concern. Maybe there is an argument if you include elix. Not that i understand. Hehehe
-ok
