Maybe an explanation would be helpful to the anonymous poster. Lets say you have 15 nerds. You can send them all to one building or spread them out. You are right that your odds of destroying that particular building are better if you max out your nerds there. But, your goal in the game is not to destroy that particular building, it is to amass as much gold as you can. With all 15 nerds on one building, your best outcome is 70 elixir, worst is 2. If you spread out your 15 nerds to 15 different buildings (in 15 different towns for maximum effect) then, even if only one of them succeeds, you still get 98 elixir (70 from the winner and 2 each from the losers). And the odds are quite good that more than one of them will succeed.
