when you defend, my friend says it is best to only defned the flanks . which allows more soliders to defend the flanks . but i disagree, the front: you can have 2 times the amount of soliders and have many many more tools. . is his theory true ? i think not. when defneding the front with ruby paid tools and veteran soliders why would it be better to only guard the flanks, becuase when the frontal attackers get to the keep . its like a man for a man dies. ? if anyone gets what im saying please reply. anyone who has had many attacks and tried both. thanks

alos what im asking is: mainly why only guard two flanks when you can defend all three vs. an attack on all three postions ? is it an advantage to guard just the flanks or smarter to guard all three ?

u have to justify youreslf against enemy invader army
basic principle
A. if u can win 3 sides ( left, fronter and right), that is fine, enemy will not have any army land at your courtyard
B. if u cannot win 3 sides
u have to keep at least 1 sides as there is a final battle in courtyard
if enemy win 3 sides, he has a bonus 30% in "killing strength" in your courtyard
if enemy can only knock down 2 sides and u still keep 1 side, the battle in courtyard becomes a equal war, no one has bonus
so u have to consider the impact
fronter does allow u to position more soldier to defend
but it is also the most enemy soldier attacking in there
for me
if my army can only defend fronter or ( left and right ) flank
if i can kill fronter, but i do not have sufficient army to defend left /right flank
i will give up left and right and keep fronter alive
then battle in courtyard is equal becos both side do not get 30% bonus in strength
i kill fronter enemy, which mean i kill 60% of enemy invader
in courtyard, i have to kill the remianing 40% enemy invader
on the other hand,
if my army cannot kill fronter army, but i can both left/right flank
then i will let fronter enter
and i need to handle 60% enemy invader in courtyard with both sides at 0 bonus strength
the above is a simple examples only
if enemy soldier a composed of different soldiers.
u need to work out ..which scenario is good for your defend
anyway, online defend is the best
becos u can re-assign army, tools, wall, % of split..etc

Basically it's all about the bonus in the keep. If the attacker can beat all three walls, he will have a 30% attack bonus in the keep. If the attacker beats two walls, neither side gets a bonus in the keep. If the attacker only beats one wall, then the defender gets a 30% bonus. So as a defender, the reasoning goes like this: if you try to defend all three walls against a respectable attack, you'll be too spread out and will either lose the battle, or quite a few soldiers. If you try to defend only the gate, yes you can have more tools, but so can the attacker. It's really not any easier than spreading out over two flanks, and you'll end up using extra, more expensive tools, and won't even get the bonus in the keep. So only defending two flanks is often a good strategy for losing as few soldiers as possible. There are exceptions of course, it all depends on the layout of the attacker.

Defend the flanks, that is where the enemy can send the least amount of troops. Of course if you're online when you're attacked then move them around to best defend against the attack: otherwise, leave your troops at 50-0-50 defense. If you don't have a lot of defense troops though, 100-0-0 or 0-0-100 might be best for you.
