Hah...I followed your advice Will on tech raids, and it worked out beautifully. I attacked someone with roughly 2x my strength, but only had about 20 infrastructure and a few hundred troops. To make up for it, they had something like 120 tech! My tech was only 20ish, so I built up a ton of troops and tanks, and attacked. First attack failed (due to his massive tech advantage). Second succeeded and I captured 5 tech and some cash. Today I attacked twice more and wiped the floor with him both times, stealing an additional 10 tech. This is definitely the cheapest way to acquire tech at this level, as troops and tanks can be replaced a lot more easily than tech can be bought. It also seems like the dude I attacked is inactive, since he hasn't messaged me or built up more troops, etc.

He probably used to be closer to 10x your strength. If he's got 20 infra, that means he took a massive pounding from someone... and probably quit. There are likely to be many of these lying around, since GWIII just ended. Just make sure they've either dropped their alliance or are in a piddly alliance, so we don't get targeted by the kinds of people currently pissed at GuyOfDoom.
