Well, if you're outnumbered and out gunned and there's no way you can defend you could send all your troops out just before the attack hits.

you'll still lose the battle and you'll have many fires but your troops wont die. You could also donate or send away as many resources as you can.

If your attacker gains little loot and no glory they might not attack again.

If you give some more information on numbers and troop types we may be able to work out a way to defend, otherwise good luck :)

Why on earth are you getting another 70 macemen and crossbowmen?

You are the one getting attacked, not doing the attacking. Crossbowmen and macemen are so weak in defense as they're attacking troops thus not ideal for defense as defending troops are. The fact that you don't know this already leads me to believe that you have no chance whatsoever in being victorious unless the person attacking you is a complete incompetent fool.

The best troops for defending in your situation (presuming you have a level 4 barracks) are halberdiers and archers.

put some tools on, even stones. if u got ruby tools, put those instead. you will have great losses, but if you block the flanks, there is a chance you MIGHT win this due to the sheer number of troops you got (in comparison with what he is sending)

if you set 50/0/50, how many can u fit per flank?

but generally, attackers are really bad at deffending

ps: crossbowman or heavy crossbowman? makes a huge difference. if heavy crossbowman, disregard above statements and run
