i just wanted to post this about a awesome player for sparta
Gold Production:
Producing 1200 gold every 10 minutes is a good goal for most active players. Another strategy is to pay rubies for gold, or to attack the Robber Barons and fortresses. Yet another great way to collect gold fast (although it is infrequent) is to trade with the resource barterer, where you can exchange stone, wood and food for gold.
What is a good main-castle?
Different players set their castles up in different ways, each with a system they believe works best for them. Most will agree, a good main-castle (green world) set up will look something like this:
Public Order: Above 200%
Farmhouses: 12
Guardhouses: 6
Dwellings: 0 (use them somewhere else)
Stone/Wood: 5 each until finished levelling, then maybe 2 or 3 each.
Taverns: 3
Even a level 1 bakery is worth its space in your castle. All ruby buildings will make you a much more powerful player and are worth the space they consume in your castle.

PART 2 :
ATTACKING:
Sparta is a kind and fair alliance, and if possible we wish you to only attack inactive accounts or bullies. If that is not possible, please find a player to attack who is not a member of an alliance on our "Pacts" or "NAP" lists.
When attacking a strong opponent, it's important to max soldiers (about 50% veteran maceman and 50%veteran crossbowman) and max siege tools. In each attack, there are 4 waves. That means when you fill up that first wave, click the arrow over to the second wave, the third, then fourth waves, putting the maximum amount of soldiers allowed in each. Currently you can send 1040 soldiers in one attack against a high level opponent.
When deciding what siege tools to use, make use of the spy report. A castle that has 100% wall protection can not be brought down below 0%. That means 10 scaling ladders (10% wall reduction bonus each) will bring the wall protection down to 0%. In this example, it would be wasteful to use any more than 10 scaling ladders. It is also impossible to bring the moat and gate protection below 0%, so always keep that in mind while preparing your attacks.
If a defender is set up with mostly ranged defenders, then you should send melee attackers. If the defender is set up with mostly melee defenders, send more ranged attackers.
DEFENDING:
It's good practice to keep only defense-type soldiers in your main castle. The veterans are better, but the elite are much more affordable (of course, if kingsguard are available, then always make kingsguard soldiers). The percentage of soldiers on each flank may vary, depending on the attack. For an everyday set-up, I recommend, 50%-0%-50% if you have veteran soldiers or better and use only ruby defense tools or more preferably, armorer tools. For everyone else, select a 100%-0%-0% set up. Against a powerful attack, the latter set-up may be the only way a weaker defender can win a flank, reducing further losses than necessary in the courtyard.
It is possible to adjust the ratio of ranged-to-melee defenders on the wall. If a player attacks with only melee, then it would be a good decision to adjust the ratio to 100% melee, and vice-versa. For most situations, the ratio should be at or around 50% each. Inside your keep, you can view your soldiers on the wall by hovering over the different sections of your castle while adjusting the ratios. This way you can be absolutely certain of how many of each type of soldier are on your walls.
If you see an attack coming and can make it in time, send all of your defensive troops from your castle/outposts to the castle/outpost being attacked. If you are going to do this, make sure that you have time to send them back if needed, because another attack may be coming shortly after to a different outpost. If multiple attacks are coming all at once to different outposts, then you will want to either keep a balance of defensive soldiers in each outpost/castle, or send all of your defensive soldiers to one or two castles and open the gates in the others. And no matter what, if you are unsure if you will win or lose the attack, it is always good practice to send all of your offensive-type soldiers outside of your castles as a precautionary measure.
An absolute minimum of 4 tools should be kept in each slot inside of your keep. This will defend against 1 full attack against you. These tools will be the difference between whether or not you win or lose the attack. If your castles are not fully expanded, the most important thing you should be doing is expanding your castle and upgrading your towers. A moat is also very important. Many players WANT to donate their resources to you, so do not be shy to send out a message any time you are in need
Castle wall/gate/moat protection is very important. These should always be maxed out and you should have plenty saved up in reserve, in case of repeated attacks. Don't forget Robber Baron and Barbarian Fortress attacks will slowly take it away, so it will need to be replaced.

I am new so help me out here. If a man castle only has support of 3 buildings Ie farm houses why would you want 12? Is it just a mater of anything extra helps or is there a diffrent point to it?

Anything extra helps, but even they can by big producers, if you keep your PO up. I have a lvl 9 farm that operates at 42%, but w/ my PO at over 200%, it makes just under 200 food an hour. In the Ice land, my 42% lvl9 farm busts out 261 an hour.

Umm Alex would you mind explaining why you felt the need to transfer everything from the Sparta website here? While helpful I don't think that posting this on the forum is necessary especially since only members of Sparta should be seeing our strategies for castles and not the entire GGE community.

Yeah, now ppl can steal ur Sparta strategies!! :O
All this stuff I already figured out myself, but it's helpful to other ppl though.
There are these idi0ts in my alliance who have a 25-50-25 defense, and keep attackers in their main and still have lvl 1 & 2 towers!!!

It's okay guys, the information is rather public information. Sparta is supposed to be about being kind and helping others anyway, even if they are from other alliances. So hopefully some players will find this information useful
Alex buddy, do be more careful in the future though, thanks man
