Topic: [79814] Defense Ratio

So what is your defense Ratio and why?
ive heard of 0-50-50, 65-35-0, and the regular 33-33-33

so far i'm thinking 50-50-0 or 35-65-0 or 50-0-50(just for symetry..)

and what defense tools do you use and how many?

That is all, if you post thank you very much ^^

50-0-50 for a good defense.
100-0-0 or 0-0-100 (best to alternate between them regularly) for a smaller defense.

33-34-33 is definitely not regular. If you've got a decent incoming attack, even all 20 level 4 towers (260 soldiers on the walls) won't be enough to win all 3 flanks. However, you can hope to give the opponent a -30% bonus, or have no bonus altogether.

Defense tools depend on the incoming attack. If you buy a lot of rubies, and have got all (or at least most) of the ruby buildings, then ruby tools are probably a good idea. Armourer, if you can afford them. But resource tools will do just fine. But as for flaming arrows vs. stone throwing, that depends on whether they used 4 scaling ladders or 8 mantlets (and the ratio of melee to ranged).

0-100-0 works when you have armorer tools and someone use resouce tools

50-0-50 Is the common strategy

50-0-50 only works if you have enough troops to defend ALL towers, and you have a decent defence army. For lower lvls, I recommend 0-0-100 or 100-0-0 :)

I use 25-50-25.

I have 2 stone throwing on the flanks, 4 stone throwing on the front, and 3 gate reinforcements. I don't need it, my protection ended a couple minutes ago.

why 100-0-0 and 0-0-100?
why not 0-100-0? since the middle has the most defense and if you leave the middle open you enemy can send a bigger force through the middle and another flank, to the court, then they could with just the left and right flanks open.

i'm not doubting you, i just want to know your logic

and thanks for the great review :D

i understand the 50-0-50 i'm thinking of using that one, it makes the most sense to me. But it's also flawed...., it wastes the gates defense bonus in the middle XD. oh decisions decisions
