Rebuilding each run

[The Beatles]

I know many good players advocate this strat -- Holby showed me first, and he learned it from Wolf Bite. A lot of you play it. Still, I don't believe in it. I think re-building your land at the end of your run is 1. a waste of turns you could be putting to good use, 2. more turns lost when you start your run, and 3. cripples you in an emergency "in-between" runs.
What do you think? Discussion is welcome once you've voted.

you shoulda put "sometimes" cause thats me. Right now im not rebuilding, but somtimes I will rebuild like 3 days in a row. Null vote for me

[windhound]

nah, I dont care for shuffeling buildings
I'm not very good at keeping my land anyways, so if I take it out of huts and get slammed my hawks leave and my horde's screwed

[Gen. Volkov]

Depends on the strat, but yes I reshuffle my land at times.

[The Beatles]

I guess I should say the exact same thing again so you guys understand it. Do you regulary shuffle your land at the end and beginning of each run you make?

[Ruddertail]

But you never gave us the option of sometimes. The poll is "Do you do it all the time, or never", basicly. I do it sometimes, depending on my strat.

[Gen. Volkov]

Then no. Not every run. But that's not the original question is it?

[The Beatles]

That was indeed the original question.

Ruddertail: for the purposes of this poll, 'sometimes' doesn't exist.

[Gen. Volkov]

Ah.. oops. Need to read more carefully next time.

[Ruddertail]

I gave it a null vote. I just started doing it when I started running an indy strat on CoG. I don't do it with any other strat though. I demolish barracks, and build into guards at the end of my run, and swich back at the start of the next run.

[The Beatles]

I just didn't do that.. I had a good defensive bonus (vole+Cregga) and I had a lot of troops that I got in the turns I would have wasted demolishing and rebuilding... I could be wrong though.

[Ruddertail]

Well, when I mass one troop type the guards really help. I've got only about 500k of each type other then my massed one. And I put most of my massed troop is on the market overnight, so they don't even count in standard attacks.

[wolf bite]

Although “wolf bite’s wall� strategy requires a lot of tower building and demolishing, it is done during the healing, not wasting turns.

I like to change strategies often; I will reshuffle land at the end of a run in preparation of the next strategy. Then shuffle the rest at the beginning of the next run. All done as I heal.

But if not in a high defense strategy or changing strategies, I don’t take down buildings.

I find that for mid-size players, the heal/demolish phases will actually take more time than the healing in itself would... and you are "wasting" turns in the sense that you could be training or foraging or hawk-loot/foraging. If you are bigger, I grant you it is better, although also expensive.
(And dangerous if you miscalculate )

[Devari]

It's a waste, really... Then again, I've never used guards, prefering a more offensive approach.
