Jedi- you and I think very much alike. I also take and drop RVs and message the surrounding players. I've even gone as far as to arrange someone to take over the RV *before* I capture it, thus making a friend in a bargain. If I'll be taking a lot of RVs I may enlist the help of an entire alliance.
I was in a very small alliance (I think we maxxed at 11 members once) and had to employ every trick I could think of to hit back at our enemies in larger alliances. I would even recruit hundreds of spearmen (before I got veterans) and "attack" with multiple commanders having 26 soldiers each, with 3 waves in total (you don't get 4 waves until later). I could wipe out 20 tools on all flanks before landing my true attack. If I coordinated with 3 or 4 other alliance members- even the weaker ones can help here -we could wipe out 60-80 tools on all flanks. Of course it required precision crack-of-dawn timing to catch their whole (USA1) alliance asleep, but the effect was wonderful.
Eventually my enemies moved into ever-larger alliances so they could hide behind other peoples soldiers, and convinced their new, larger alliance that THEY were being bullied, even though we only ever attacked in response to being attacked (retaliation). This new alliance launched a full-scale assault on us all, claiming they would attack us until we quit or moved our castles far away. I finally got fed up and moved / am moving the entire alliance into a bigger one to end this sort of treatment.

this is a good stategy but against a high level player. it sucks. if you can only send men on the forth wave it doesnt matter if he has no tools ur gonna get crushed. what i do is just send a whole seperate attack wtih the least ammount of men to take out tools and time it with ur main attack. this works wayyy better
