First weakness is vanity.   

Defense is your key.   Once you achieve a 75% level damage on outposts, you no longer need defense troops.  Sure, you're going to lose food, but factor in what you save on not having to buy food or defense troops, plus, you're now immune from much further damage, you can laugh in their faces.

Building hideouts secure resources.    Up your castillians against looting.  Never go offline leaving troops in your outposts, sent them on the road.    Attack in progress, too much resources, donate it to the group or send it to another kingdom.  Very frustrating to spend all that time tying up attack troops to get little to no loot.   Lots of coins and a attack coming, just max out the number of troops you can make.  Drops your coin level and they get nothing.   Oh, don't forget to send them a message like Maxwell Smart of the old TV show that they "missed it by that much."

I agree with almost everything you say except "Very frustrating to spend all that time tying up attack troops to get little to no loot. "  I disagree, making sure all those fires burn at 100% really does make all attacks worth it.

Or a good defense set up. I never attack a player with one, unless they have no defense, I will sammy bomb them instead.

Building dwellings is much more effective than hideouts. Hideouts are useless in game...

yes I agree Graycat, hideouts are useless in the game

Wood/stone buildings and hideouts are only useful to those that log on once every 2-3 days, start a few builds since their castles refilled on rss on their own, and log off. These are also the people that think its so unfair when they get attacked.

If you are an active player you can loot enough rss to fill all your castles in an hour and all those buildings are waste of space, better server for deco pieces, grains, etc so you make more food to hold more troops so you can attack/loot.

A general rule of thumb is 1/4 stone+wood production, 1/4th housing for coin, 1/4 tree houses and 1/4 guardhouses. Then go with a melee cast, extra troops on the wall.

You'll be right!

benefits:

- lose every fight
- generally catch spies
- produce wood and stone!
- very little food to worry about getting stolen
- easy to replace the few troops you can keep in the castle when they're attacked and destroyed
- pretty colors
