@flannan You're giving me flashbacks of Black Desert, I was a guild officer responsible for leading the defense. You'd be surprised how my side of things gets no respect, people only care about the big Epeen huge numbers of DPS mains. People pretty much ignored half of my orders, the leader had to actually intervene and repeat my order sometimes for them to listen.
Shows how little people know about the importance of defense.
Curious enough it were my weird base plans that made us survive and even beat some bigger clans while the clan grew from being irrelevant to decently known. Sorry for the gloating, but my bases were indeed unique, as they were made with openings on purpose, so that enemy clans would think that the base was easy to takedown and ignore our walls, only to be trapped inside and be massacred by flame towers and hwatchas. This gave the clan enough leasure to send 90% of the players on the attack, while the base barely took a hit. The artillery would control crowds of enemies, while the few high level players of defense would take down the enemies who couldn't even move from the sheer amount of stagger. Worked perfectly until artillery took two consecutive nerfs and adding traps became necessary. By the way this was right after the game was released in my country, so this setup wasn't really seen anywhere
