So...I believe this is how it works. The more you send to attack, the faster they destroy the building. If the user logs on and defends that building before the time is up, you only get a fraction of the total payout. If you destroy the building before the other user defends, you get the entire reward. I think...

More nerds.I've read several posts indicating more is better.

I sent 40 nerds earlier today to attack buildings. One for each building. I think it was around 8 hours to complete each building attack. Throughout the day I was getting rewarded for their attacks. But not for nearly as much as the total suggested and much quicker than 8 hours.Then I sent 10 to one building and it said 1 hr to complete. That hour passed and I got the entire reward. Hope that helps.And you can see how much you are supposed to earn from every house you attack. I didn't pay attention to each house, but it know the castle is a higher payout. And the more defended/upgraded the castle is, the longer it takes. I'm not sure if the reward is higher though.

Well, if you can get away with sending one at a time and the other user doesn't defend...you can maximize your nerds more. I say do this, if you come across what looks like an abandoned town, use one. If it is clearly active, use more.

The trick would be to find out your neighbors time zone and attack while they are sleeping! LolIf you had totaled what you raked in with the diverse attack, you could have compared it to your group attack to see which does earn more: 8 little hauls or one big one

I just sent a bunch of nerds to attack, hoping most the Springfields I attacked are in the pacific time zone. Yea, I think I might try that tomorrow and see if I can't pinpoint how the payouts work. I did just notice that when attacking neighbors, the payout was less than attacking random Springfields. I still don't quite have a grip on which way to go. Thankfully we have 48 days for this event!

What's the Difference Between One Nerd versus Several Nerds?

Their attack takes less time with more nerds BUT you dont get more gold for using more nerds. So it comes down to timing and your sxhedule more than anything.
