damn, you got cool boss.
The only time I ever defended in the middle of the night was because I was up for some other reason, then I figured I might as well check twars. Surprise surprise, I had incoming and I defended them. That was in W4 though, not in W1.
K56 in W1 was fun while it lasted. I quit after 200 some villages, it was way too much work, argh
I never used premium, except the free premium they provided after you hit a certain # of points. You can do just fine with premium but it sucks your time.
I'm playing grepolis, another game by innogames. It's in beta and they're going to release the English version soon. It's like tribalwars combine with age of empire, age of mythology. Farming is a hell lot easier in grepolis, only 8 NPC farms per island. The pace is slower so far, which is very friendly to people with a busy schedule.
This thread really brought back memories. The good time we had in K56 and other K where we defied odds and won against numerically superior opponents.
