If you happen to be lucky enough to have the troops to take a sh (7 bil min and thatll cost you 15-50k gems) you need to raid the sh first to kill all the monsters inside to save health. after all the monsters are dead from raiding you will get 2 mil rep and a honor point and then you conquer to take the sh. after you conquer the sh you get another 2 mil rep and an honor point. if you have human troops seed the sh with one of each kind and transport some gold and food to regen wall defenses quicker. if you have more to add please do, im new to the sh taking.
