I think not.
It all depends on your location, for example you have 3bonus' to raid within your 9x9. So if i was you, i would get my res upto around 8wd 5cly 2irn then build a stat + pally. Then start to raid. With that haul, build barracks. Then b/c of your res, build spr. Build around 80ish, then raid with those, never stop raiding. Now you should be bring some nice hauls in. build around 20swds they act as your defencve units whilst raiding. Then upgrade smithy to lev2 and research axe, build axe and raid with spr and axe never stop sending those units and build more units also building up your mines helps. And so on...
This is just a tactic of mine..feel free to ask for more information. :icon_wink:
