Well it turns out my attempt had to be called off. 125k warriors, ~115k archers, and 10k ballista isn't quite enough to make the completion. I'm thinking something closer to 150k each will do the trick? Too many losses on the first wave I guess, a penicillin would have made all the difference... too bad i used it like 2 days ago to raid an enemy alliance lol.
As soon as my server comes back up i'll post my reports. All in all they were fairly positive, just not enough troops to continue much longer in any timely fashion.
Edit: Here we go, reports coming up!

And thats where i had to call it off, i simply couldn't maintain troop numbers from there and keep the attacks at an even interval so the loyalty would stay down.
Taking lvl 10 NPC is all about archers. You can take lvl 10 with only archers given a large enough supply.
To have less losses it is better to add some firepower to archers in the way of ballistas. Your initial attack should be as many ballistas as you can get, 10-20k and balance archers. You also want to rainbow 1 of each of the others.
It should look like

After this you need to be hitting NPC every 50s or so. If you do that with just 10k archers at the time you will be fine. Depending on your research and heros, 5k may be enough.
I was dead on with the timing and i can rainbow next time i give it a shot. Just need to build my forces back up. 10k archers sounds like a pretty low number though, but it would make waving a bit more manageable.
Other little thought, should i even bother with transports? With the waving i'll eventually grab all the resources plus whatever regenerates, so is it even remotely profitable?
i plan on hitting a level 10 wednesday (can't support this massive army much past that lol) *******s eating 800k food per hour and i'm not even done training troops yet
have 90,000 warriors, 15,000 swordsmen, 83,000 archers, and 3,000 ballista so far. i have a level 9 rally point and quite a few of those 25% more troop things from the wheel so i plan on sending 5k ballista and 107.5k archers (112,500 total troops) but of course i'll rainbow 1 of every other troop. have level 10 of everything but medicine so hopefully level 9 will suffice. have the 10% attack and defense buffs ready to use (also won from the wheel heh)
going to keep building troops until i have about 125k archers and 125k warriors and hoping to get up to 30k swordsmen.
figure of the 107k archers i send i'll lose half leaving me with about 70,000 archers. going to send 8k archers + 20k warriors and 8k archers + 10k swordsmen and will hopefully be able to send 8 or 9 waves over and over.
have 2 allies nearby that should hopefully help with a few waves of their own to drop loyalty. *fingers crossed* so with luck it will be mine right before i go on vacation :D
i'll definitely post the first battle report because i worry without medicine level 10 and more ballista i'm going to take heavy losses on the main attack. very scared after looking at the above report but i keep telling myself i'll have more archers :o
You do not need transports if you are taking NPC over.
you only had 10% in the medic camp. they screwed up pennicilin where it gives 30% more of the guys in your medic camp so in this case it would have given you 3% more (30% of 10% = 3%)
used to give you 30% bonus so you would have 40% in the medic camp but like i said they screwed it up. it's only useful if you get up to 50% or so wounded (i think you have to be defending for that) and even then it only bumps you to 65% wounded instead of 80%
it's really not worth the $12 they expect people to pay for it
Penicillin was messed up like that? How is that even remotely effective now? Bah, i'm thinking i might just mass up like 500k warriors are mercilessly wave them and making my blood tribute to the NPC Gods lol.

That was the exploit? Warrior spamming?! Surely you're joking...
