It discusses 8 lessons: 1) having resources like money is important but also needing good defenses like health, 2) defenses should be well-distributed across all areas of life, 3) having strong faith in God at the center is key to withstanding attacks, 4) self-love is necessary to love others, 5) constant learning and improvement is needed to achieve success, 6) community and social support are important, and 7) past failures can become weapons for future victory if one persists with faith in God.

1. Lesson from
By: Melissa Medina
As silly as it sounds but I found beautiful
insights from this game.
Here they are:

2. You need an ample amount of stock of gold and loot in
building and upgrading your village.
In the same way in life, money is important for the
enjoyment not only for yourself but also it is use to build
relationship with the people around you.
Lesson 1

3. Upgrading your building should not your priority alone. You need to
have a good defense mechanism like cannons, fence, and towers. In order
to protect your village from the attackers that steal your resources.
Same goes with life, even though you have all the money but
you've neglected to protect your health then all your wealth will be gone.
Then, you’ll loose your money in regaining your health.
Lesson 2

4. The defense should be well distributed. In the same manner
that, we are not to focus in one area. It should be in complete
defense or else the weakest link will be the one will destroys
first. The need to protect all areas -mind, body and soul.
Lesson 3

5. The town hall is the main structure that is target by the enemy. Therefore,
once destroy - victory is already there's. In a like manner, I believe that
the center of our lives should be God because apart from Him we could do
nothing. Strong foundation of trust and faith is the key. Then everything
else will follow - wealth, health, great relationship.
Lesson 4

6. The town hall is the first thing to upgrade and everything
else will follow. It is the bottle neck of the village.
Same goes with us, we cannot give what we don’t have. If
we want to give love. Then, we need to love oneself first. How you
treat yourself is the reflection of how you treat others.
Lesson 5

7. The town hall is the main structure that is target by the
enemy. Hence, once destroy - victory is already there's.
In a like manner, God should be the center of our lives because
apart from Him we could do nothing. The complete trust and faith in Him.
Then everything else will follow - wealth, health, great relationship. If not
evil will prevail.
Lesson 6

8. The best defense is offense. If you want to have more gold and
loot. You need to attack and train your army. And to make sure to win
every war. Then, your resources will multiply.
Same as life, if you only sit and wait for the success it will not
come. It will come though, but will take longer. You need to do a lot of
training. Equipping yourself. Continuous learning.
Lesson 7

9. Lastly, you need to join in a clan. In the same way, as the saying
goes "no man is in an island." No matter how wealthy you are. We all
need somewhere to rest. Someone to talk to. Someone to lean on.
Shoulder to cry on. Someone to mentor. Someone to laugh with. Life is
empty if spent alone.
Lesson 8

10. “I failed. I stumbled. I fell flat on my face. But still there is this
beam hope in my heart because I knew my victory is coming. I am
getting better says the Lord. Today, I loose the battle. But, I know
that I’ll win the war because God is my king.
The very failure I had been will be my weapon for
tomorrow's victory. The burden from the past will be ingredients of
future success. “ – Melissa
