Strategy & Note to Neighbors

Good post
thanks
I am changing my gameplay accordingly
:)

I also agree with the post that said we need to have a "Daily Attacks Remaining" part of the neighbor screen so that we can see that after doing the daily visits without reentering the town completely. That would speed up visiting and allow me to return to towns after I earn additional nerds throughout the day. Currently, I am just relying on my memory, and using the revenge button when I can. But it is a bit tedious.

I've been going backwards through my neighbors because I've seen it mentioned a few times that people at the end of the alphabet aren't getting hit as often.

It's not as much of a problem as it used to be for me now, as I can store 60 nerds at a time, which gets me through my neighbors (one nerd per town) more than once per day. I'm not fully levelled up on the castles, so I'm not sure what the final nerds/day total will be. Does anyone know?

I have another question... Can we collect from our houses during this event? When they are attacked and defended, the dollar signs are still there, and when you go to neighbors' town (even the ones who haven't started the event) you can't do anything to houses but attack. So, it seems like we should be able to tap them with abandon. But, I wanted to see if anyone knows for sure before I wreck things for my neighbors...

I have been using my nerds to attack my friends only, and the dice to attack random town's castles only.

Question: Do different castles have different payouts?

I have only attacked this first castle, the barbarian castle, I think. I have never attacked a recycled castle or whatever the 3rd level castle is called. Also, I have made my rounds through all of my friends, attacking as many with nerds as I could, but I have not received any free donuts from visiting neighbors since this event started. Has anyone else noticed this?

All the castles have the same payout.

Love the recommendation about saving the dice until later in the event. I'm probably to impulsive to do it, but it totally makes sense.

Yes, this!

some random towns look pretty banged up...houses destroyed and not cleaned up yet, cletus's farm empty etc...i'd wager that those are very casual players and it's worthwhile attacking 5 houses if possible :D good chance that the attacks will succeed

i might make it a strategy to keep hitting the random town button to find these towns and only attack these towns

in addition to this....go through your friends and attack the ones who only have a few hundred gold :D
from entering their town you'll see that they don't log in too often as there are buildings under attack etc.....you'll get an easy 5 victories from these towns ;)

I understand your strategy, and can see the benefit in it. I still have not seen the time counter over attached castles or houses some people have referred to.

I also like the idea of saving the red dice for later in the game, to maximize their effectiveness. I have earned 2 by defending so far today, and they are they only 2 I have earned, besides the 5 they give you initially. They are fairly expensive, donut wise. I doubt I'll use any donuts on them. Although, I have spent around 30-40 donuts on nerds so far.

To my friends on here, all 5 or 6 of you :) I would suggest not clicking my castle and attacking the brown house farm on the new land. If you attack my normal, decorated house I may have to clear them due to characters being on tasks.

I just hit your farm, thanks for the tip :-) This is a great idea; I haven't bought the new land yet (still hanging on to my landing zone), but I think I'll add a small house farm for the event as well.

If everyone would just put up a house farm and not defend it we'd all benefit immensely.

That's what I did/do. Bought an extra strip of land and filled it with brown houses. Gonna let everything burn to the ground.

Thanks for the great tips! I do have my first castle to level 9 and Homer level 6 also, But I was at total lose with the nerds attacks. I was yes sending my nerds to random towns more than my friends towns. But I was leaving up to 5 nerds and gain little. So thanks to you I know now to leave one nerd per each town.

Thanks a lot :D
