Even if you max your Stronghold Defense, overwhelming Offensive troops will simply wipe you out. You need to make sure that you have enough Units in Defense to counteract your enemy.

Yes I agree but should it not be all my Stronghold  def equipment get destroyed before I am considered lost rather than just 60% damaged and the rest still standing and I am considered lost?

think of this as a real life battle.. in real life if they wipe out 60% or your wall defense that means at least 2 sides of your castle are open to invading forces. in real war your enenmy would flood in threw those entrances and wipe out the troops inside. I am not a fan of plariums game systems since they still have yet to fix the defense and offense calucations to include all types of bonuses after a month already.. but in this case its true to life

gday ;)

Castle DEF bonus does play a HUGE part but you must have defence troops in the castle to back up those defences. for example:

if you have 2 million DEF in your castle and 10,000 def bonus .. that 2 million will act roughly like 4 million BUT if some super coiner sends 40 million at your walls (it happens more often than you think) you will lose all 2 million (minus a few maidens to tell the story) and the attacker will lose about 4 million.

now try that same scenario with 20 million DEF ... same attacker will likely either JUST squeak past your walls and lose 45-48% or fail and lose 51-53% depending on how the battle plays out.

you as the defender would get the bulk of the pvp points. failed raids give attackers a bit more pvp but those with high castle def bonus always win point wise. trust me , SRS is HUGE on DEF and we have pages of battle reports proving my point.

So let me see if I got it right even if I lose I still get more PVP points than the attacker if he lost around 50 plus % of his attacking forces?
