I am very sorry I have to write this, but I have been very unlucky over the past week, and on this discussion, I would like to seek some advice.
It all began when I was raided by a Bloodcrow, and unfortunately, lost defence. However, I wasn't even close to cleaning up half of the fire, nor heal my troops, since the next day a Shady Lady attack came in. Three days later, I was finally able to clean up most of the fire and recover most of my troops, but that all ended when in a only a few hours, I was attacked by a Foreign Lord, undoing all of my hard work to recover.
Three attacks in one week, what are the odds of that?
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong, or am I just super unlucky?
Foreign lords attack once every event, so you'll have 1 or 2 attacks from them every week depending on when you get attacked. (sometimes they don't attack at all).
Shady lady is just by choice, some people do 10s of shady lady attacks, others none.
Anyways it's just a defense issue by the sounds. Ideal set up is 0-0-100 with 3 lime bombs/throwing nails, and a fire slit with fire moat @ a 80/20 melee:range ratio. I am guessing you don't have any of those kinds of tools so I would suggest the bodkin arrows, they cost 25 nomad tablets each, every defense requires roughly 16 so that's 400 nomad tablets (or samurai version). So I would say try and get 400 nomad/samurai tablets and dedicate them towards your defense. Use the swamp snappers as your moat tools. You don't want to have your defense covering all parts of the wall, due to the likelihood of it being destroyed is much higher, so most people stick to using it on just 1 flank as you can't send as many attackers down the flank as the middle, making it much easier to defend.
Please note the defense set up with the bodkin arrows isn't the best but it will do against most foreign lord attacks, and a lot of real player attacks as well, but not all either.
If you need a visual of what I'm talking about I'll try my best to help but my screenshot tool isn't available on the computer I'm using :P

And actually, I do have and use ruby/event tools.
even if you use the defence settings mentioned above you should add tools to your un defended walls as they add to % of your wall defence. the higher your wall % the harder it will be for them to climb over your walls. but the best defence settings is actually 98-1-1. use your wall tools like 3 slots murderholes 1 slot slits. as they will boost your wall %. also use a casta that is as close to a 90/90 casta you can with high wall and gate %
