Moving resources from farm to main

The plunder method is Kingshot's only farm-to-main transfer. What to strip from the farm's defenses before your main attacks, and the order of operations.

The only way to move resources from a farm to a main in Kingshot is the plunder method: attack the farm with your main and loot whatever isn’t protected by the (level 1) Storehouse.

TL;DR

Stripping the farm’s defenses before the attack

Two parts to making the city defenseless:

  1. Send all troops out on gathering marches. Troops in the city defend it — a farm with troops home will fight back and inflict losses on your main’s attacking army. With troops out, the city is undefended and the attack is bloodless.
  2. Remove heroes from Walls and Guard Posts. These hero slots contribute defensive bonuses to garrison even when troops are away. Heroes left assigned can absorb chunks of the incoming attack or grant defensive buffs that slow your main’s looting. Pull them out before the first attack and leave them out until you’re done.

Combined, these put the farm in a state where attacks land cleanly and the main can run several consecutive raids without losses. This is why the before-bed routine and morning routine in Daily farm routine emphasize sending all marches out — that’s the first half of this precondition.
