I think scout bomb is a very effective tactic.But, have you noticed one thing? Even if your heroe's loyalty is 100%, there is possibility that he is captured. For this reason, I dare not use my highest attack hero to do scout bomb job.

The "Age of the Scout" has come and gone, but not for the reasons you mention. Too many in their analytical methods, do not bother to discern or place any value on the elimination of a target. If it REQUIRES 5,000,000 sacrificial lambs to eliminate the enemy, and said lambs can be collaboratively replaced by an entire alliance in a week....so what? You make the sacrifice, obtain the victory...and advance on the next objective. The resources consumed, are replenished free over time.
No, what has killed the rather short lived "Age of the Scout", is the simple reality that 400k+ archers will kill a 100k scout suicide wave in 1 rd. This eliminates the wave before it reaches the target and causes the wave of scouts to collapse inward upon itself, on the battlefield, with the defender unscathed.
Edit:
and talk about "silly posts"...this newbie takes the cake I think.
ummmmmm, 125k is the most the game will ALLOW you to send, and to do that requires a lvl 10 Rally Point AND the use of a 1-use item. Without expending the special item, 100k is the most you are allowed to send. Before condemning something, you might wait long enough for you yourself to LEARN HOW THE GAME WORKS. (this would have the additional side benefit, of not making you look/sound like a blithering fool.)
How do you figure 400k archers kill the wave of scouts before they inflict any casualties? All scout bombs die in one round, thats why they call it the scout bomb.
If you take a look at the battle reports, an attacker is sending 100k scouts at a defender with ~350k archers. The fight lasts one round, and the defender takes ~12k archers casualties.
What changes between 350k archers and 400k that results in the scouts getting killed before they reach the archers?
If you have a good answer, then I would love to hear it of course. New info is neat.
If not, you may wish to retract the following statement.
I dont think you read closely enough, the one in which cav reached the swords was the 4 rounder. That cav killed them on round 4 shouldnt have caused less traps to go off by round 3.
Those heroes were int / attack for kassikas theory.

I had been planning on adding another hero to the mix but the test beds suck too badly to do so. Truman and attackmed are the heroes I used as you can see their stats now.
EDIT: I know the heroes stats arent great but I havent played that account in a week now, and that was my only town with a good int hero that I didnt teleport to some random locale. :(
Well as I said I havent played on that server in a week, because theres no challenge so I dont really care about it. I'm #2 in prestige still, and the #1 guy has been farming prestige off level 10s so that's not really impressive, . If anyone wants to attack me, good luck, I have 222 million iron in one town and 135million iron in the next, and 30million gold in each town to entice you. The hundreds of thousands of ranged defenders with hundreds of millions of food to feed them shouldnt be a deterrent...
Good luck to ya.
Dude Man, I'm not hatin', it just looks like you have a man-crush on Steve Jobs and want to do anything and everything for him.
You can do whatever you want, but that's the impression people get.
But me, personally, I think Maddox wrote the best article ever on why iPhone Fanboys are annoying. http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone. It's an older article, and I'm not sayin' you're an iPhone Fanboy (I don't know if you are or aren't), but I loved that article.
Lmao, Well Let Me Set That Straight,
No, iDo Not Have A Damned Man-Crush On Steve Jobs.
Sorry For You,
But iGuess You've Never Been Introduced To Black America.. We're Actually Quite Nice People Unless You Tick Us Off, & Then We'll Rob You. (:
Edit: & Quite Frankly iDont Care For The iPhone.
So No, Im Not A Fanboy Of Steve Jobs, Nor Any Of His Products.
i got something for black america
He is probly one of those Wayne Brady black people :-)
Who is Dave chapelle, wayne brady, bryant gumbell and malcom x?
It's cool, Kass is in her own thread, I think shes sorta given up on speculation. And I was only posting results to show why I cant bring proof to bear on the situation so I was mostly done also.
p.s. I'm more interested right now to see if bringing up black people will bring about any more waves of bans.
The fact that our alliance has tried, I have tried, and a combined attack by our alliance and another has been tried.....to no avail.
350k+ archers, upon lvl 9/10 walls; supported by 10k+ ATs....and the sct bmb has no affect.
20 such bombs were unleashed this morning, hitting at 7:30 Evony Time; upon a single target. Scorecard? Scts: 0 Target: 1,800,000
my words are true. I'm just not gonna bother with filtering through some 40 pages of reports to find the ones you are asking for.
Take what I said to heart, or toss it with last nights trash. It matters not to me. I know the results, and I know what will happen. Keep at it if you prefer. *shrug*
Yeah I guess that's true. As I said I'm waiting for a battle report because his claims ring false.
Yeah it must be super duper hard to find that attack that you claim happened THIS MORNING. Gosh have to scroll through a bajillion things!
Please. You're full of it but luckily I dont think anyone is dumb enough to buy what you are shovelling.
That's why when I claim things I back them up with reports and people go "oh ok, I guess maybe he has something worth considering" instead of just a bunch of text that could have just not been posted and it would be just the same.
as I said. Take what I said to heart, and spare your time, scouts and resources...or don't. Its your choice.
and with that, I am reminded why I tend to despise game forums in the first place;
"screenshots or it isnt true"
"logs or it isnt true"
blah-blah-blah
shame on the person who is simply passing on firsthand information.
Do you know why people say "screen shots or it isnt true?" Because 99% of the time that saying applies.
"Zomg I totally pwned this nub, I had 20 health and he potted 10 times and had two friends join and I killed dem all."
And if someone asks for proof they say "Oh well I know its true and that means it is."
And you are right, it does work, lots of people believe unsubstantiated claims even if they're totally ridiculous. So I dont blame you for doing it, but you can't blame me for throwing up a red flag for everyone that though there is proof out there that scout bombs do work from multiple sources, your claim of the opposite is invalid unless you back it up with evidence.
If something has changed I welcome you to share with the group.
Otherwise you're just a liar and not a good one. And you continue to waste peoples times with your outlandish claims, the same amount of time could have been spent finding those reports if this truly happened.

1 hour 10 minutes elapsed time regenerated 15% resources roughly. It might just be your server, but at least on mine it's still the same.
Well its possible that they are going down the line, I no longer can farm barbs on server 2 so I can't test there. I will check serv14 again tomorrow for you, though its possible its just a bug.
I get the feeling that it might just be a bug or you'd see A LOT more outrage on the forums by now heh.
dont ever call me a liar. It is just wrong, as I quit telling lies many, mnay years ago. Too damn hard to remember who you told what, unless you told the truth.
Here's one of the damn reports for you. And with this, I'm done with you, and this forum.

This was one of the 20 sct bmbs launched. Once the first wave of 90k archers came in behind them, dies without inflicting casualties and that info was shared in the alliance chat; I recalled my wave of archers maybe 15s before they hit. Hence, I have no report for my troops; because they didnt die. They came home.
LOL.
Good I'm glad you're gone. You never bothered to learn how the game works but you felt the need to spread your misinformation anyway. Single round battles return blank screens, that doesnt mean nothing died. By your logic you didn't lose any scouts either. Yay!
Just a note, this is PRECISELY why I ask for battle reports. Because people dont know what they're talking about.
In the future this is how you gauge a scout bombs effectiveness --
1) Scout City
2) Scout Bomb City
3) Scout City
Then you compare the units before and after.
THanks for the laugh and good luck playing this game without bothering to learn how it works.
I know because I'm retarded and I let people who have the ability to farm my barbs to live within a decent ballista range of my barbs.
Oh wait...
I've been checking certain ones since it came to my attention and never once did they go below the previous time I checked them, also none of them completely filled back to 3k, and yes I've been up for 22.5 hours.
Edit: They seem to be normalized now. I'll update later.
