Nice prizes, but don't know if it's worth giving stuff away to potential enemies

Andrew_378hfgw

the 300 diamonds for the intermediate guide is nice but why would you want you enemy to have your defense tactics? or provide newer players with tthe best possible way to defend themselves? if you ask me these diamond prizes arent NEARLY enuff compensation for this kind of information or the time spent gathering this information...

Hi I am not sure what to do here. I am steadily trying to build a strong city & Army.

I agree Andrew. Giving away your secrets is hard if you are successful. However information should be shared between players to help the lower ones get better.

joyfort im not pc literate but i could benefit your efforts of a guide for teams if you can direct me. i have just found this link
too those not willing to share there will always be someone better coming through the ranks and someone smarter why worry about what you think you know and teach those that no nothing?
