	Since the number of completed [[Hut]]s in your base adds one [[brave]] to your population in the Armageddon arena, and only 199 followers may fight in the arena (plus your shaman) at once, any [[Hut]] you have will result in one less soldier being available and one more [[brave]] to weaken your army. As a result, it is imperative that you dismantle your [[Hut]]s before going into Armageddon. This will ensure that you have the maximum number of troops available to fight for your cause.

The following tactic is a bug which can be used to kill off an entire [[tribe]] before the Armageddon arena is even formed. It is often thought of as "cheap" because the eliminated enemy does not get the chance to fight in the final battle, but it leads to players being more protective of their home base instead of just building up trained followers and ignoring defense. The process is quite intrusive to the enemy base so it is likely they would have been destroyed anyways. Finally, the spell is called Armageddon, which is suppose to be a devastating event.

	===Training Huts===		===Training Huts===
	The best way to do this effectively is to build several ~~training huts~~ and then start training as soon as possible. In this particular scenario, it would behoove you to have two or maybe even three Warrior and Firewarrior Training Huts each. Remember to keep spells handy as training soldiers will only use up an allocated 50% of your total mana, which is then divided among all the troops currently being trained. In Armageddon, any time you are not making troops, (this includes the time of when one trained troop leaves the training hut and the next follower walks in to receive training) you are wasting mana.
