Thank you. I've come across a lot of great tips on this site and decided to add them to my own and post them in my wall as a convenient place to have them to share with others. I started the blog to share strategy tips and chronicle my adventures in playing the game, but my migraines have limited how often I can do that, I am doing better now and hope to get back to blogging soon, starting with an in depth article on house farming and other strategies.

I wanted to do one on strategies for the current Clash of Clones event, but it may be a bit late in the game for it to be useful. I have posted in the comments section about how sending one Nerd per Castle or House is the best overall strategy and a bit on why, but my blog would go into the math and statistical analysis behind it, but my health prevented me from doing it a couple weeks ago when it would have been more useful.

I did get your neighbor request and was able to add you as I had an opening. I will visit soon when I do my daily rounds (I try to do it the same time every day and visit everyone so that no one is out of sync, time wise). I've found that you can just do one of the friend actions and that starts the clock, and it speeds things up, so I visit everyone and do one friend action and attack one building, then two hours later I visit a group of neighbors and do the two remaining actions and four attacks (sending only one Nerd each, to give them plenty of time to defend), then do it again every two hours or so when I get another 90 Nerds.

Having lots of neighbors is not only good for getting extra money and XP, and having more people who visit you and you get bonus money and XP from that too, but they are also great for seeing how other people lay out their Springfield and getting ideas and inspiration. Many of the things I've done with my Springfield are because of ideas I got from some of my neighbors, either borrowed directly or inspired by them.
