income from nerd attacks in long periods

Apparently sending 5 nerds per town to neighbors, hoping they will reciprocate, is not a good method.

I've been consistently doing single nerd per building, hoping to trade defensive earnings with neighbors.

The alternative is to start doing max nerds per building, searching for undefended castles. Sounds more tedious. I'll just stick to what I'm doing. There seems plenty of time left.

Hopefully as castles get more defense people will change to my technique and we will earn more defensively.

Or i could be learning the real lesson in war, if you have the money you can afford to buy the victories and smother weak attackers like me.

KEEP CALM AND TAP ON

I think it's been shown that max reward is 1 nerd per building, attacking random towns. The payoffs are considerable bigger - especially successes. You can minimize the time/effort by attackign houses too. It does impact the total payout, but not nearly as much as attacking friends does.

The defensive stuff is nice - it's more gold per tap, but quite frankly, it just doesn't happen enough. I'm not getting attacked enough to hit the goals. I've tried to do reciprocating, but it doesn't work. One of hte big things I've noticed is that you can only revenge 1 attack per building. So if you someone attacks your castle, and you defend, but have no nerds, then someone attacks again when you log in to collect your nerds, the revenge is that 2nd person, and you lose the revenge on the first. It's find when it's neighbors (and you remember who attacked), but doesn't work for randoms.
