I had the Hoard Event last night. Now I've had this Event lots of times and it's always been an easy items grab but last nights Event was different, I was punted off my platform and landed in a group of Fulings, as I died to their blows all I could hear was their chuckling. Now this punt was new to me and when I thought more about it the only answer i could come up with was that it must have been a Fuling Shaman, have these little guys got a new ability or had I just not encountered this punt before from them?. Anyway I need to watch out for this new tactic in the future.

@ op, if the Trolls are attacking your Main Base then I would dig a ditch around it, make sure the ditch is a good distance from your Walls or else their Rock Throw skill will smash them, also this will stop the attackers from other Events from wrecking your base + all attackers are easy to kill as they stand still at the side of the ditch. Level your Bow skill as fast as you can for Bows kill Trolls very fast with no danger to yourself.
