When you upgrade your cranny, all it does is increase the amount of resources protected. It doesn't do anything to fight against break cranny skill. A few quick examples might help. Assume you have a fully upgraded cranny at lvl 20. It will protect 100k of each resource. So lets assume you have that fully upgraded cranny and exactly 100k of each resource and you are attacked by a player who has 0 skill in break cranny. They will get 0 resources. Now, same scenerio but the attacker has lvl 1 break cranny skill. The result will be that the attacker takes 5,000 of each resource (assuming they attack with enough troops to carry that much away).
For each break cranny skill level they have, they will be able to dip into your cranny at 5% multiplied times that level. So at highest break cranny skill level of 10 they can get into 50% of your cranny (10 x 5% = 50%). These amounts are definite. They have nothing to do with luck or chance.
Just as an additional note, any resources above 100k in your warehouse are in no way protected by your cranny ever and can be taken by any attacker who wins a fight (whether they have break cranny skill or not).
Also, spacebee has a good point. When someone attacks you and wins, they get whatever resource is most plentiful in your warehouse. So here is another scenerio, assume you have the following resources in your warehouse:
Wood - 150k
Stone - 250k
Iron - 125k
Crop - 100k
If someone attacks you and wins with enough troops to carry off 100k worth of resources, they will get 100k stone which will reduce your stone to 150k.
Now if someone attacks and wins with enough troops to carry off 150k worth of resources, they will get 125k of stone and 25k of wood. That will reduce stone and wood levels to 125k each which will match iron level.
Again, if someone attacks and wins with enough troops to carry off 225k worth of resources, they will get 150k stone, 50k wood, and 25k iron. That will reduce everything to 100k.
So yeah, winners get whatever resources are most abundant.
