Bluffing

Bluffing

When you are outnumbered by rival, you can use this stratagem to delude them. Bluffing causes psychological impact to your rival, which may postpone his attack thus earn you time to prepare. Your marching troops are overestimated by 5-10 times of the actual numbers in enemy's beacon tower, which makes them think that you have a lot more troops marching in. This stratagem is not very useful if the enemy has a higher level beacon tower, as they can see your coordinates. If they go to the map and check what kind of city you are sending from, say a level 10, but the troops are like 500000, they know that you applied this strat, as you can send out max 100000 troops from a level 10 city with level 10 rally spot. In all, this strat is only useful between smaller players that do not have level 10 cities and are not so experienced in the game.
