Everything about NPC farming

[BFG]

Level 6 or higher barbarian cities can't be taken with no losses. Can't be achieved with the limits the game imposes on how many troops you can dispatch from your rally spot.

Farming NPCs with no losses with ballistas relies upon the balistas being able to outrange any defences of the barbarian city. Each level of your wall adds more range to the defender's archers and archer towers, so level 6 walls with level 6 archery will outrange your ballistas. Also Level 6 NPCs or higher have defensive trebutches, which outrange absolutely ANY unit in the game, so you will always take losses because of that.

it's not that bad if i loose some troops ! what i want to know is how many troops do i need for farming a level 6-7-8-9 and 10 !

I attacked a npcl4 with 300 Bals & 300 Trans- Arch l 6 HBR l 5 Hero Att. l 80 & was wiped out. So much for your 250 Bals required.

lvl 4 npc
7 arch 5 HBR and hero has 75 attack.
320 ballista with 0 losses

is there a way to figure out if i can reduce the amount of ballista i send each time?
can only build em so fast atm and would like to be as efficient as possible xD

So my going from level 8 archery, level 5 hbr to level 9 archery level 5 hbr is going to be a BAD thing since I'll now upset the perfect balance? This game is so counter-intuitive. One would logically think that a better archery skill would actualy cause me to lose more troops!

No better archery skill would decrease losses. Cause you have LONGER range.
Keeping HB 5 ,and archy going to nine soon

For the record . . .
I attacked a level 5 NPC with 550 Balls and 550 Trans when my Archery was only 7 with HBR 6 with a 93 Hero and got wiped out!
Now only 4 hours away from Level 9 Archery . . . so look look out level 5's

I attack level 4s with 250 ballistas each time. Hero attack ranging from 71-86. Archery level 7, horseback riding 1! 0 losses every time.
