How to capture a npc lvl 8 AGE2

1: Have an attack hero with atleast 160 attack
2: Have at least 300k warriors that you can dispose of. Wars are easily built, and you do not have to waste archers.
3: First attack send 100k wariors with 160 attack hero.
4: After First attack, send waves of 20k warriors (any hero will do), make sure to send the waves all within six minutes of the first attack. Keep doing this until you finally conquer it.

This has seem to work for me, I have conquered two lvl 8 NPC's using this strategy.
I am right now working on a lvl 10 NPC, I should have a Guide up for that in the next week or so.
Good Luck

farming and capturing are 2 different things, your post is about capturing and the title says farming.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 1900 trans 2000 warriors 2000 workers 4000 scouts and 90100 archers the best for a level 10?

There are many different combinations for hitting 10s..the 'best' way is different for everyone, depending on hero lvls and attack lvls. i'm sure if you go through this guide section, you will find many other ways too.

To farm a lvl 8 npc with wars,
you can send about 90k wars and 1.5k trans.
youll lose quete a lot, but it shouldnt be a prob.
youll also gain quete a bit of prestige if your title is high.
and you have less cities.

This method is good becuase you dont waste your archers, and warriors are very easy to build..

I use L8s to level my politic heros -

Send 100k war lose 45k 1st round or send 100k arch lose 5k

Then every 6 mins send 100k war - lose 5k warrior gain 200k exp.

As for taking L8's sure why not doesnt need to tie up so many cities as a 10 does.

And you lot have any idea who this guy is - lol

no point in sending transport if you are going to take over the level 10, the resources will be yours when you take it over and you will need that gold for comforting and the resources for remaking the wall defenses

It is not really a precise guide to look at... but it is short and simple.

300k Warriors? No.

Send one wave of 100k Warriors, will get 35-60k losses. You can use any hero that has at least 100 attack+. Send spamming waves of 10k Warriors. At the beginning of your spam wave, respear it with a 50k warrior attack. If you have Feasting hall lv 9, thats 180k Warriors. If lv 10, thats 190k.

Capturing a lv 8 is important IN AGE II, because 1. Sometimes Historical Heroes are there, and 2. If you want the Queen/King, you need to capture a lv 8 NPC as that is part of the quests.

also capping 8s (any non 10 to be precise) and porting them can be useful for leveling up npcs to farm

My those losses are high. I normally send 98900 Warriors and 1100 transporters. That will kill between 37k warriors for my crappiest hero's and ~20k warriors if I send someone that's above 200atk and 100-110 intel. I've seen quite a bit of discussion on the affect of intel but for me it seems to top out between 100-110.

Personally I think Lvl8's are a great deal. They aren't quite as good as Lvl10's but if you "tier" your hero leveling like I do, they are a great way to get resources in the project. Each morning, afternoon, and night I send out all my idle heroes to NPCs based on their level as follows:

Lvl1 - 59 = NPC5 (no loss ballista hits)
Lvl 60 - 84 = NPC8
Lvl 85+ = NPC10

This keeps the EXP gained always above the EXP required for the top level in each bracket. Considering the wealth in NPC8s and NPC10s, this also helps me build awesome resource reserves for my troops.
