I have just heard in my alliance chat that it is a complete no no to go lvl 10 compass. Is there any truth in it?? Ill need to know before mine is completed as i already have it underway. Can anybody point me towards a thread or give me any assistance?
This whole thing is kind of difficult to explain the short version is this-
Compass 10 mostly affects farming lvl 10 NPCs. The problem is if you have compass 10 your troops move in to range of the Archer Towers and in to the warriors too quickly. There isnt really 1 great guide for this but check out The Ultimate Guide stickied at the top of the guide forum or any of the guides in here http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=74661 the guide library.
when you hero passes 200 attack, then its ok to upgrade to compass 10
On my first hit on an NPC 10 with a 230 attack hero after getting compass 10, I lost less than 5k archers.
what combo do you use?
with 230 atk hero i would get around 6k-ish archer loss with compass 10
I've been using 2k workers, 2k warriors, 4k scouts, 90k archers, 2k transporters.
Against an NPC hero thats less then level 10, I never get more then 5500 archer losses and I don't lose all the scouts either.
in my honest opinion there is no difference with lvl 9 or 10 compass maybe 500 archers when hitting a lvl 10 npc. you just need to use the right mix, i would tell you the mix to use but that would spoil the fun lol. i can use a hero 150 att and above to hit a lvl 10 npc with nxt to normal losses just try different mixes

Compass 9 is "easier" for low level heroes on 10s. I start farming my B10 heroes at around 145-150 with compass 10, so it's not that difficult. Compass 10 significantly reduces losses at a certain point though.
I find compass 10 reduces losses, even with heros as low as 140 att. Aslong as you send a different mix. As put by Japengo, 2k workers, 2k workers, 2k scouts (you can use 4k, doesnt make that much difference) and 92k or 90k archers respectively. I cant get under 7k losses with compass 9, but have had as low as 4k with compass 10 using this method.
