I am on server 132 and have recently been given a top 10 hero by a player that is quitting the server, he is one of four captured heros in my feasting hall and takes 70 nation medals to convert, in total i need around 180.
I understand that collecting all of these will be a time consuming project and resource expensive process. However, i am not having any luck at all atm.
I have consulted all the guides i can find and have gleaned as much information as possible, but so much of it is conflicting that i am turning to my own thread to try for some decent answers from you guys.
I am using several methods to the best of my abilities.
1. Scouting lvl 10 valleys within 30 miles of my cities and hitting the ones which have combinations of troops that allow me to attack with few or no losses on the hour every hour.
2. Attacking lvl 7-9 valleys with 100k scouts up to a range of 50 miles from my cities.
3. Using cap and release on lvl 7-9 valleys with 20-30k archers and 1 of each unit from work to ball.
Additional: I have been mixing it up with both high intel and high attack hero's. My feasting halls are always full so that when i attack i do not roll for the defending hero first. I think my best chances of nations come from grasslands/hills/forests so i have been mostly hitting these but not exclusively.
I have not got a problem finding medals, sometimes upwards of 20 in a single day but nations simply are not dropping for me, i have been farming them intensively for 3 weeks, but since applying the 0 upkeep item i have quite literally been pouring all of my time and resources into this quest.
As you may have guessed i am getting pretty frustrated so i am looking for any tips (backed up by solid evidence, reports etc) on the best way to increase my chances of acquiring nation medals.
Thanks in advance everyone.
