Hedgehog defensive stragegy

As master Yoda would say: "Prickly, you should be". This is the whole impetus behind the hedgehog strategy. If someone attacks you, you want to make it hurt as much as humanly possible. There are a couple of rules that you should follow, especially as a new player. This will help keep you from being a target.
 * 1) Keep your troops in sanctuary. You can do this by clicking on your castle and clicking the button that says: "Hide troops in sanctuary".  This is usually the default.
 * 2) Keep your supplies under the capacity of your Storehouse and Shrinking Powder limits.
 * 3) Build your wall defenses and your field defenses. Have lots of things on your grounds and on your castle walls that can hurt a lot.
