New Battle tactics

I will start this new thread off, for a while I've thought of a couple atctics which could change the normal gameplay significantly....... anyway enough with the BS here are my ideas:-

scenario is your at war with another alliance its a big war, simple?

1)Basically you capture a lvl 10-> reinforce it with 1mil scouts (A decent defense also of 17k ATs 1k abatis 2k traps) plus a good amount of Food. Port it into the homeland of the alliance you're at war with. ONce you're their they r gna start scouting you ,they will not be able to get a scout rpt so probably wont hit you. when you become low on scouts say 500k have your alliance send you some food aswell as scouts to reinforce. the process starts again and you just keep collecting in the coords of the players scouting. You could just search around their homeland for their cities but this documents them for you on your reports and gives you an idea of who has the balls to scout the opponent. go on the guides to learn how to cap 10's if you do not know how :).
2) Relief city:attack:. if your host has documented where all his players are via evoalliance.com or whether else then chances are he knows where the centre of all his members cities are on the map. Basically he ports a city into the centre if not close to the center of where his mems are. Each of his mems pledges 1 city to their host. They send all the resources produced by that 1 city to the host everyday. say 50mems send 20mil food produced by their lvl 10 to him that is 1bil food sent everyday, 25 mems send iron from their iron cities, 24 sending lumber to that city. (im assuming he/she has 100 mems) . He basically builds troops none stop their or with a high attack hero just makes loads of instant troopies. the reason this could be usefull is that if any1 is getting hit he can use that city to reinforce only. Meaning the rest of the mems do not have the strain of reinforcing. Also this city could be ported into an opponents homeland 2 kick azz..... anyway they are my ideas if you have any constructive critiscism to provide, provide it.


The idea of this thread is for people to share their new battle stratergies. so please post some :)
I will give rep to anyone who has any decent NEW battle startergies. :D

if you take a look at this thread n dont have an account. plz get one and comment I could do with some ppl saying something on here. lol and post some ideas please

If I use 100k scouts and don't get any kind of report then I will blind hit. Why? I might as well. There could be a chance there is nothing but scouts in there or maybe they have full walls, but not much in reg troops. Also, it could prompt ppl to try and scout me, who may happen to have a million of his own scouts sitting in his city. I'll lower my food bill, dump some honor, and stand a good chance of egging someone on to hit me now. Of course I burn through my troops pretty quickly hahaha

As for the 2nd bit....if your host has more prest than anyone else then you are screwed...To get around this, just do like most ppl seem to do now anyways...designate the lowest prest guy as resource holder (or make a noob acct and put into your alliance). They should have no wall def in that city, and be close to strong members that can protect it from attacks. When you need some resources, just boot that member, hit the city, then they come back to alliance.

Personally I don't think either of these ideas are that amazing. If somebody did that first technique and I was part of the enemy alliance, I would scout bomb you to obliteration seeing that nobody was around who could reinforce you, and take the Lv10 for myself.
As for the second method, it relies on having 99 alliance members willing to drain their resources for one player, I would refuse to be one of those 99. If you use your army responsibly, resources can be gathered for yourself easily and quickly.
Your concepts are good on paper, but in practice I don't see them being majorly successful.

thanks for the reply. I understand your views they're plausable. Do you have any startergy which you'd like to showcase??
pledging only 1 city isnt much that you have 2 give up and anyway its an idea.

any actual ideas, meaning evaluate my ideas then bring your own to the table .

Please explain to me how you managed to capture a lvl10 with 17kAT ;).

If you're going to waste a teleport (and want full AT), you might as well use one of your ready-made actual cities to do this and if you're going through the trouble of capping a lvl10 and building up wall defenses, you might as well cap one in the enemy territory and save your teleports.

While it's true that people don't like attacking blind, leaving a defenseless city is foolish. At a point when scouting will require over 1.5m scouts, a few archers become small change. They will eventually send a mixed wave/scout bomb/archer clearout wave at you to get a report. If you don't have a solid defense, they will take your city and kill all those scouts. You also want more than 1k abatis and 2k traps, as these will be gone very quickly if someone decides to spam wall defenses.


2, I've been friends with our host for a long time and I'd happily kill off my army helping him or any other member. If he, or anyone else, needs resources to build an army that I can spare, I will share them. I understand that some people aren't into combat so much and want to help out. However, if a host asked this of me, as a member, that would be my cue to leave the alliance. Hell, it should be the other way around, host is the person who is supposed to lead and help his members where he can. This system will also come to a point where the host outranks other members to such an extend that they won't be able to reinforce him anymore.

The fact that he'll be able to reinforce is all nice and well, but he won't be online 24/7. What if the allaince gets attacked and he's not there? Or too far away? Who will reinforce the members then? Alliance where 99 members are working on 1 will inevitably fail.

btw what I meant was that you build the defenses b4 you port i can always edit that so you can understand :)

i understand a lot of ppl said they will eventually blind attack the city which is ported. Yup the first idea isnt as good as the second, but they're ideas pledging one city isnt much to ask maybe if your at the title knight it is but at baron + it isnt 2 much 2 be bothered about and anyway it works for the alliance's benefit since he can rein from their, so noone else has to . Also like it says near the end of the second idea you can have your host port into the enemy homeland keeping them occupied. so in the end it can work to your advantage and isnt just another liability.

Not smart. Someone could launch 100k archers at you and wipe out your AT's and 1 mil scouts suffering. All with them suffering about.... 30k archer loss.

but do you blind attack much?? and if someone has ported into your homeland you normally assume they have a lot of troops? its simple psychology. ;) think it through carefully

Also ppl i like the constructive critscism any actual ideas though????? c'mon pick ya brains

That's why I continued with saying that you could more easily use an existing city that presumably has those wall defenses. Why go through the trouble of capping a lvl10 and then spend another week building up your AT?

It's sound concept, most people won't attack if they can't get a report, though this depends on the reputation of the player/alliance in question. But with 1m scouts in the city the cost of scouting is so prohibitive, sending 100k arch doesn't compare. Its harder to make 1m scouts than 100k archers. And if there's significant layers/no troops I *will* most likely get a report on my archer clearout wave if I time it correctly or the person is offline. I will send in a wave designed to kill most layering troops, fully expecting to lose. If I'm lucky, I will get a report, if not I have at least killed off some of their defense and shed some honor. I will have my archers back in a couple of hours.

I'm a princessin with 9/10 cities. I would not regularly feed my host from my cities. Not because I can't afford to, but because I don't think it's a good idea. I queue troops with my best hero all the time I'm online, and leave as many in queue as I can before I go to sleep. So does the rest of my alliance. I could not respect someone who's unable to do this as a host.

It might seem like a good idea early on. It might work on a smaller scale (I killed off my army, let me TEMPORARILY feed yours before I rebuild). But an alliance needs a good number of veteran players and another dozens of those that can hold their own. People can use those same resources to make their own armies, and in the end it will make them stronger as an alliance - they can supply and reinforce, and defend themselves and each other. Otherwise if the host is in any way, shape or form incapacitated (or quits/joins another alliance), your alliance is basically screwed.

good point their I must admit.
you seem knowledgeable, so could you post any idea you come up with in the future???
then you'd be the first to actually post an idea instead of an evaluation :)
thats what this thread is really for the development of battle startergy ideas.

Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
