What the freak use is a intel program when the attackers dont get SoT, or when the pally dont buff your kingdom, or not getting a SoM before hitting and bouncing (that or using the Munk's auto fill which bounces almost every 10ish hits).
Also what use is lurking in the chat rooms? It does nothing. You have wave times that your attackers should be matching. T/M they have the orders to work on, and there is also the ingame chat.

TBH, using the 3rd party stuff is a crutch if you haven't learned the game properly.
I guess we disagree on his meaning in the initial post. I don't disagree knowing the game is important, and yea you might learn more without the tools. But overall the tools are an enormous help, nearly insurmountable if you wish to play at a high level.
