Mitoks advice:

Keep your defense on 0 -- 100 -- 0

When you are at computer equip your king with early detection equipment, when you sleep with defense boosting equipment.

What to buy with rubies? (someone experienced fix the order!):

0. Buy Ruby Mine from Ruby Prospector 1. Buy a Bakery and Upgrade it to max in all castles 2. Upgrade Stables to level 3 in all castles 3. Get a Watchtower to level 2 in all castles 4. Drill ground 5. Full sets of Armourer tools in all castle, 50 of each tool in every slot 6. Decos 8. Military hospital.

Buy them during PRIME TIME (you get 75% more), spend when you have 50% OFF.

Trick to Winning battles Some players have trouble with attacking and because they didn't do their espionage and watching. Not anymore. Tricks to winning EASY battles: If defenders are Melee, just attack with Ranged. If defenders are Ranged, just attack with Melee. Recommended for defenders: Use Archers, Vets (especially Veteran Swordsmen), Halberdiers, and Longbowmen. Spearmen and   Bowmen aren't great defenders. Use them as a last resort. Recommended for attackers: Use Vets (especially Veteran Swordmen), Heavy Crossbowmen, Two-Handed Sword, and Horrors. Macemen and Crossbowmen aren't great attackers. Use them as a last resort.

PS: For people who have premium account, keep some 800 ranged soldiers in Ice and attack all level 20 RBCs everyday at the time of logout. Each attack will give you 2000+ coins and other stuff.
