  - yup. I keep my hideout and wall at least as or one higher than my town hall. - Reagen Mar 27, 09:59 2

    - They may not be spying on you and don't see your town's defenses. Though I'm sure they see you military score. Makes no sense, such a waste of gold - Krusty Mar 27, 10:04

  - I think it might be because things move faster in NYC, and so just to be able to deal, people have to move on. - con_carne Mar 27, 09:48 2
    - Or maybe they kind of want to ignore it because it's too much to handle. -- nm - lileve Mar 27, 10:15
