Warloque, I'll explain maybe a reason for it to you. As you should be very aware, nukes build much quicker than Defense, meaning they can pump as many nukes as they want at all your villages and in the long run they have a bigger chance of succeeding as there troops build quicker and they can produce more.
Attacking totally random villages but on a small basis means you won't find a pattern in their attacks, meaning it is unpredictable and totally random. This of course is much more dangerous as you never know what they're attacking next.
Nobles will come after wards, I hope :icon_neutral:
