I disagree. It depends on the number of players, I usually play 4 or 8 player, I always take the Village as soon as possible. Then if the guy next to you is waiting, you're getting more troops than the opponent next to you, and he's trapped. You can soon take him out.
If he's not waiting, then there's a great deal of luck involved as to who wins the battle, but it puts you out in front if you win early.

no, you pretty much have to kill your neighbor first if you want to win
