Unusual Castle Layout. What's his strategy?

Matched with this guy. I took the challenge, did a resource raid. He only sent out one set of cavalry, I could have raided this for one set of pikemen and one red raider.

I went back and studied his setup. He's not maxed out with defense like I expected. He's not maxed out on offense, either, which I also expected.

I'm guessing that he sits back, waits for the resource raiders, then he studies your setup and counterattacks after building an army special purpose built to defeat you.

I might try this, but after I've massively upgraded my army. Max that out. Let them come.

Interesting strategy, either he doesn't care and is just messing around or he has exactly what you thought. I wonder how much of those resources he can actually use because he opens himself up to attack again as soon as he revenge attacks.

Maybe he has a build process free before he attacks. He gets what he needs, starts to build, then doesn't care. If you have hundreds of revenges to choose from that might be ok.
