personally i think level's 0-67 should have a one flank defense with ruby tools.
70's should have a 2 flank defense with things like lime powder bombs.
Let me know what you think

also, all ranged with fire moat and arrow slits works good too in place of lime powder bombs

surely you could use tools to minimize that down though? If i were the attacker?Graycat (US1) said:

lol, if you did, then you'd have to either leave out wall or gate tools and then I'd change it to melee with wall/gate tools and your entire attack would get smashed.Yamagato (GB1) said:surely you could use tools to minimize that down though? If i were the attacker?Graycat (US1) said:

2 flanks won't work if your offline.
If you manage to come online, a good attacker always tools everything in case of changed setup, so in the end would only defend 1 flank anyway.

anyway can render that tactic useless in 1 wave for all flanks, wont say here, but most people should already know

From experience, i will tell you what i think is the best offline setup.
U might always have to prepare for 5 or 6 waves.
Which can only be stopped with 3 slots bombs (nomads) or nails (samerai) and 1 arrow slits.
Therefor i would suggest towards foreigners,
0-100-0 with 75% melee and 25% ranged ratio, 3slots with bombs and 1slot arrow slitter and then your 2slots gate.
and for other castles (no npcs) go for the flank.
100-0-0 or 0-0-100 with 75% melee and 25% ranged ratio, 3slots bombs/nails and 1slot arrow slitter.
This is ofcourse best setup for offline and in wartimes when u dont have time to log, it highmostly stops (after the alliance sends defence) almost all attacks. Also make sure u have atleast 18 tools on each slot (this can defend 3 x 6waves coming) when ur offline.
If you need more information why this setup, poke me and i will explain with details.

Best offline set up is a firecasta. Period.
Best online set up is dependant on the attack. Most people know how to attack properly these days, when that occurs your pretty much fked. When you get a muppet attacking you have to be online to exploit the weakness....
Had 2 strong attacks in the last week?? Both with highlanders and 6 waves from players I dont look forward to defending against, one we held a flank (just) the other we were able to hold mid (just) but it was coin troops for both attacks that were sent not all demons. Both players also had castas set up for different situations. A sammy casta for the flank and an Ice casta for the mid hold with wall gems as opposed to all CY gems.
Best defense is ALWAYS an online defense, you leave 3 LPB's 1 slit up ill break 100% of the time when sending demons if your hall is in all out attack mode, 80% of the time sendign coin troops..... Their is no ideal set up for offline other than a firecasta. That is just the reality with 6 waves + hall / Berri bonuses these days.
@Wicked I agree 3 LPB's, 1 slit is a great offline setup. But it leaves you open to a major toolraking by some arsehole with macemen then you have no tools on the wall. Better off with tools 18 deep as a minimum and after that if you get toolraked so be it, better off not fillign them any more than that IMO.
