Thank you for your confession. You aren't really here to play a war game. You're here mostly to create an artificially inflated image of being some big hotshot, which you "accomplished" by buying it with an easy button.
The only reason you get away with nobling barbs is because there are virtually no high quality players anymore. No matter how many excuses you make, no matter how much you convince yourself that it pays off in the long run, the simple fact of the matter is that your "strategy" would never amount to anything in a pool of player talent that used to exist in this game. The kind of players that used to exist in this game would cap you each and every time. When you ran off to noble low quality barbs, they would take your main village. When you tried to premium whore your new little villages, they would rain cats on you until you went crying to mommy. If you managed to premium whore any of your villages up, they'd take those away from you also.
You're the equivalent of an NFL washout who is now playing on the middle school JV team and thinks it's because he's got so much skill.
