Ageed. We are on the same world as well, so perhaps one day our paths may cross again. In a good way though, it has been nice talking with you on this matter

Best thing you can do is get archers. Archers, macemen, and crossbowmen are the only guys you should have until you get lvl 4/5 barracks. Then, fill your wall with flaming arrows. You will get ateast 75% bous on the wall for each attack.
Don't get swordsmen!!!

Here are some tips I have for you. First of all If you have outposts put your attack troops there. Youre main castle gets attacked by robber barons and usally loses attack troops if there are any there. 2nd tip is dont go for outposts heaps far away. If you do they usally get attacked. 3rd tip is make sure you have heaps of farmhouses. Even if you produce enough food for you army make sure you have heaps of farmhouses, at least 6 all upgraded! This makes you look strong and makes your opponent think you have a big army. The truth is some of the biggest players dont have a huge army. They have heaps of farmhouses but only a few trooops. See what I mean by the farmhouse trick. Another thing about this idea means that youre always producing food.

So the bug is just in the diplay then, not in the actual soldiers that are there? So if I have 60 archers and set my deployment to even on all flanks (33-34-33) with 100% ratio ranged, then I should have 20 archers on each flank even if the game shows I have none. Am I understanding right?
