Kill Event Guidelines

Copy Paste of advice to my guild:

during Kill Event our rivals will have the following goals:

1. get easy kills by picking off gathering forces
2. get easy kills by picking us off 1 by 1
3. get good pillage during their attacks
4. minimize their own losses (when you attack your losses are permanent; when you defense you can heal up to your hospital + medic tent capacity)

luckily this can all be very easily countered by:

1. not hoarding resources during kill event - see my resource management post.
2. when you are offline, particularly if your battle power is below 500k, send your troops to reinforce a stronger ally. enemies will take big losses attacking combined armies. if you get attacked and aren't hoarding, you just burn for an hour then recover super quickly
3. if you're gathering offline, gems only (uses smallest # of troops)
4. not launching suicidal solo attacks. we will look for *smart* chances to rally. if you want to be useful, have army presets (in drill grounds)
5. if someone pops in and attacks a flag or castle, they are trying to draw you out/check if you are stupid. don't be stupid.
6. share all battle reports in alliance (not global!) chat so that we know what we are dealing with
7. move your castle into our hive if you haven't already - it's not possible to reinforce you in a timely manner if you're far away. Be as close as you possibly can to your allies cities - chessboard city formation because every second counts when you're under attack.
8. keep your farm castles empty of resources!
