These days, I grin, even if I find a successful attack in Event History. A strong defensive army thwarts 99% of attackers. I have an active defense, myself, and every plunderable building my heart desires. It'll enrich the game experience, if you allow it to.

If there's more than one or two, you're doing something very wrong.

Your defensive troops will probably have better def boost than att boost.

Work the questlines, and get reward troops from the future, use them in defense.

Put up watchtowers, ritual flames and other def buildings.Forego buildings that can be plundered.Have a residential or small production building on a short cycle, and leave uncollected.Move your completion times so you can collect before those times. Notice when he/she attacks and when he/she loots.There's no universal advice, but here are some suggestions: You choose your own combination of methods. My own defenses are sufficient without any changes, though.ĭefense in FoE consists of many things. Personally, I'd love facing tougher defenses, if it was compensated with better loot.
