I don't see what SirYummy was doing tbh not the better choice for a village after all there was a 1.75 k village not too far either.
Some people here must be wery jealous.
First SirYimmy is being accused to noble too soon and have to small army.
then you try to tell him he did a bad choise nobling a 1,2k village..
I would like to see your scoutreport on his army and the report on both the 1,2k and the 1,7k village you obviously must have to make a statement in this matter, if you don´t have it you are just guessing.
I am sure he is wise enough to realise that a fast way to academy leaves him with lower levels on Barrack and stable, and that he chosed a nobletarget wisely.
Mabye noble a village with lower points but higher levels on troopbuilding buildings.
He might live in a neighbourhood where he need troops only to farm for now,
his ODD is 0 so there don´t seems to be any threats close to him.
he probably didnt have enough troops to clear him.
Ive got a full lvl 25 farm and i dont think its still enough.
lvl 26 nearly finished.
Another guess about his troops..
If it would be the truth I am sure ha have tribemates in The Mighty Boosh who gladly would help him clear the village.
Hats off to you SirYimmy
