its a nice layer but no need for as many worker/warrior 1k each i find is enough u can replace with scout and have same losses to archer/scout u were having

There is a guide out that has helped myself and members of my alliance. If you have a weaker hero(150-170 range) this is that mix that is working well. Casualties are relative: On my 260attk hero, casualties are usually 4.7k-5.7k archers. On my lower heroes(150attk), I am experiencing 5.2k-6k losses in archers.
90k archers
2k warriors
2k workers
4k scouts
2k transpos
As for those who are using heroes that are sub 150, you really need to level them up first. Losses that are in the range of 8k per farming mission is entirely unacceptable. That is way too may losses. I have to feed troops that total nearly -4.5mil upkeep per hour in an area that is populated by several other large players so there really isn't alto of real estate to farm without bumping heads; so i have to make several lvl 10 hits per day, and even 6.5k losses are alot to stomach.
Hero's higher than 230att I use the following formula and i loose only average 3.5k scouts and 5k archers depending on the amount of rounds.
The less rounds you kill the NPC in, the less losses.
E.g to lose about 5k to 6k archers, its 10 to 11 rounds.
If you can get to 9 rounds (higher hero) you lose about
4k to 5k. I have not heard of 8 rounds.
My formula:
92100archers
6000scouts
1900transporters
Hope it helps.
My standard attack formation. I use this with all my heroes from 250 att and up with good success and lowish losses.

Usually don't lose all the scouts just like this report shows. My archers losses range from 3900 (best ever) to about 6K. I dont scout the NPC for low defending hero anymore. I have found I can lose more archers on a low hero than a high one so I don't bother anymore. Don't know why that is.

Yea, i just tried again at a level 10 npc, This is my second approach at a lvl 10, everything is lvl 10 and so fourth, except medacine which is still upgrading to level 10. compas, archery, iron working, tradition ect all level 10.
scout reports show a lvl 5 hero in the npc, but upon attack it seems to switch to a higher level hero... 2minutes after i have scouted the city.
Battle Reports Show the Swap and the Losses

Someone help tell me what i did wrong
Luckily for me i did not send the transports
My heros attack level is 179.9 ... :/
I have lost over 200k archers from this npc
first time was with every single item buff
Corsolet, war horn, penacillan, war ensign..
The npc switches from a lvl 8 or lower hero to something that is 36+...why?
2k war/work
4k scouts
90100 archers
1900 trans
3k scout loses. 5k archer loses- 200 attack hero, just do it

best lvl10 npc formula for me works great
1900 worker 1900 warriors 3900 scouts 90450 archers 1850 transports
4K-6K archer loss with layering but some scouts live
all techs maxed and att hero of 233
but it works for attack heroes from 150+, but with those under 200 attack a slight chance of high losses due to defending heroes can occur
