A good strategy for empire is to have TONS on guards. I have noticed since i upgraded my guardhouses to about 30 guards per castle / outpost, I haven't been attack by anything other then robber baron. The reason is that players all spy before they attack, unless there a noob. And if you have that many guards they dont even bother to attack.

and let me guess dougkiller, you are noob? a good player all ways uses his spy before an attack. that way then can plan there attack better. because if they don't, they are just taking a shot in the dark.

I am a level 58 ruby buyer.
If I can't get a report with under 10% risk of getting caught, I don't spy. I just send a couple thousand veterans.

Well it kinda worked for me when I was under level 40. But it doesn't work anymore, in fact, I demolished a few guardhouses to build parks instead. PO is more useful (public order)

i know that when you are a higher level (live 40 and above) you need more defenders. but lower levels can't risk troops as much as you maby can

Lower levels shouldn't really be building many attackers right now. They should focus on survivng first. Once they have ATLEAST 300 high level defenders at every castle, then they should start with the attackers.

ok. so this is kinda helpful not really the guards part but what Luke Fierysword is saying. and bout the guards, i quit trying to send spies they never work. i just send lots and lots of troops.

Guardhouses seem to work on a diminishing returns algorithm (similar to the occupany rate). This means if you build a ridiculous amount of guard houses, it'll still be harder to spy but not impossible. The most efficient amount of guardhouses verses space occupied and amount of guards is around 5 or 6.

AS if
18 spies can easily take down 150 guards
