Saat Profilmu berkata terlalu banyak

In another article I’d like to present you some ideas about the importance of NOT letting your profile blank, but right now it would be a good idea to try and see why sometimes it’s a good idea to not give too much information.

We can start with an example. Few weeks ago I started playing on one of the .com servers. I was still in the beginner protection (7 days, since the server started earlier). My main concern was to get some clubswingers as soon as possible to start raiding. I like to play as a teuton and I steal as much as possible.

While scouring the area for some villages to attack, my eyes fell on some guys profile. Saying how advanced he is, how much he’s raiding other people and how big his army is. It was very clear to me at that moment that the guy was gonna hit my village the second I got out of the server protection. So I created some more soldiers to be able to raid and then focused on the crannies since it was expected that I’d have visitors.

The fact he warned me with his profile, helped me a lot. I knew clearly what he was up to and he didn’t stand a chance into getting resources. As you can imagine he raided for 4-5 days and got 0 resources all the time. After that he stopped. If it wasn’t for that extensive profile information, maybe I would have been careless with the crannies and his attacks would have been successful.

During his and others attacks (my population was still small and they were as aggressive as I am) I thought maybe it would be “cool” to let a note in my profile that I have crannies and they wouldn’t get anything. But then I thought: WHY? Let them lose troop time to raid a village that won’t give them 1 resource at least. The time they lose sending 60-100 clubbies in my village is the time they won’t raid others, it’s the time I spend successfully raiding and then getting bigger than them.

Letting people know very few things is a good idea (kinda saves you from the attacks some start because they think you’re just a “noob”), but try to not divulge too much. Why help your enemies with such important information? If they know less, they tend to make more mistakes and you can thus develop better.
