Yea I didn't really pay attention to the enemy heroes level. And I believe my 6k ballistas are a bit overkill. I was doing 5800 all day and every day for a good while.

So I think the archery 10 makes a huge difference. More so then their hero level. If you want I'll try to post one with a higher level enemy hero.

The hardcore playerbase is going to plummet in this game when the vast armies we've created now require countless losses to support.

If this nerf is significant at all (meaning you can't take lvl 7-9 barb cities without losses in the tens of thousands) then end game becomes a tedious treadmill, and all enjoyment will be sucked dry quickly.

Should it be this easy to farm resources? Probably not. But should it be this insane to actually support armies? Definitely not.

don't nerf npc's otherwise i will have no possible targets. i am surrounded by weak people with no resources, wood and iron are skyhigh and if i need to rebuild my army every 3atks. its too hard already. please just spend time fixing the lag. stop with the new servers, stop with age 2, stop with the freaken updates, just fix the bloody lag.

We've just got used to the exploitative tactics that ballistas allow us to operate, and the massive armies they allow us to gather because of it.

Imagine if this had been fixed from the start. Our idea of large armies would be radically different.

You don't need to layer troops for NPC cities. Just balista's and transports.
And your numbers i think are a little high, I've been farming a level 6 for medals with 800 balista, Hero's attack is around 130ish, archery at level 9.

I am currently working towards level 9 however 6708 ballistas does fail against level 9.

I will try to update this when i find out last information.

If you have any questions feel free to ask..
The numbers on this chart are inaccurate,they are way to high.Why not double them again just to be safe,better still dont make any more guides untill they are more accurate.
