Protecting Resources Deuce

The market trick doesn't work any more because if you are attacked the items you have posted but not sold will be pillaged. The trick I wrote about before isn't so good because the recall time is based on how long they have been out, not how far away the valley you send them to is.

So if you are immediately being attacked and you are on line, then before the attack arrives ship everything with a reinforce to a nearby valley that you own. When the attack is over, you can just recall it. The attacker can't ship the attack to that valley since it has already been launched, and anyway there is no way for them to figure out where you sent it without scouting every valley in the area.

If you know how long you want the troops to be away, and you want no chance of losses, then just send them to attack a nearby valley with all your valley slots full. You can adjust how long they will be gone by setting the camp time in the march screen. After they fight in the valley (pick a low enough level for no losses), they will come back if you don't have any valley slots open.
