That's been true the last two mornings lunatic, but not as a general rule. I've been flying rook this tour and I totally get the frustration: too busy defending to attack anything, and no one with work with if you do have a moment to breathe. But don't give up yet, I don't think it's the norm.
Solution? h
Hit bish. If they have to fight a two-front war they'll have a harder time steamrolling anything. When I logged off this morning bish had 29 ENY and both bish and nits were taking rook bases. Nits were being short-sighted to say the least: bish have won what, the last 9 maps? Human nature I guess to take something on a platter rather than work for it.
