I guess just a bad old habit from when logistics was lower level lol...... I really have no idea why I still send that many....

i feel this is the best mix ive found so far, no loss of pikes or swords at all.......
I've been using 2k worker, 2k warrior, 4k scout, 2k trans, 90k arch for a while now. I normally lose around 2k scouts, all workers, all warriors, and 5k-6k archers with the occasional 20-30k archer loss that seems to randomly pop up about once a week. All of my techs are at 10, and my hero has 210 ish attack. I have been using this since he had around 120 attack though with similar results.

but the hero lvl very hight. i us to hit with 2k trans 7k scout 1k war and 90k arch same with my hight hero as with a lvl 224 to well up
i sent 2k worker 3k warrior 3k scout and lost all work/warrior 2680 scout and 5274 archer with hero with 164 attack
i use i ten farming formula on server1 which is pretty easy...
94200 archers
1k scouts
1kwarriors
1kworkers
1kpikemen
1k swordsmen
10cavelry
10cataphracts
hero 155 attack
you'll lose every foot troops and cavelry and cataphracts
also 6k archers lost.
That's strange, but in the acadamy I've got everything lv 10, but compass lv 1!
Would that works?
hello al...if ya wanna farm a lvl 10 with minmum loses, u shud always send layerings with archers to protect em....send 2k wars, 2kpikes, 2k swords, and 2k trans with 92k archers to minimize the loses....sometimes u may wanna change the warriors to scouts...
Hope this Helps:) :knight:
I use a similar build, swapping 1k scouts for 1k archers, so the totals are: 2k workers, 2k warriors, 3k scouts, 2k transports, and 91k archers. I have never lost any more than 8k archers, and that was with a 125 attack hero. My lowest loss was all workers and warriors, 2k scouts and 4100 archers with a 260 attack hero. :-)
Ok here's my farming method...
1K Warriors
1KWorkers
1Kscouts
1Kswordsmen
1Kpikemen
10cav
10 cataphract
92700 arch
LOSSES
all meatshields/layering troops
6-8k archers
180 atk hero
You can still take over barb's in age 2 like age one yes? So farming still applys to age 2 content too? Thanks.

no no my friends and i have got 3k losses from 200 attack hero roughly 95k arch, 500 work warr scouts swords pike cav and cata
correct me if I'm wrong but if you get ten level 10 lakes for that npc i think it does pretty dang good... I haven't calculated the numbers yet but i think it does pretty well if you add them to its production and a good politic heroQuote:
If you cap this LVL 10 instead of farm it, it will take a couple days to get 19 million, even with all those lvl 10 farms. If you farm 2 lvl 10 NPC's a day you get 38 million food, and if you farm those 2 NPC's 2 times a day, that's 76 million food just from 4 attacks. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, not to mention 1.5 million experience for your attack hero, the chance of getting an item, a medal, and 2k prestige per attack.

165att hero.
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.

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
battless24.evony.com/default.html?logfile/20100616/02/f2/02f26e53f92b0171637c513bca3a147a.xml
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
ThANK YOU!
So i dont need any war horns or nothing right? cuz those are pain in the buttttt
Such fun yesterdays farming included a 4,284 archer loss with a hero with 113 attack and a staggering loss of 45,872 archer with a hero with 194 attack......
Typically though losses varry between 4 and 6k, I add pike and sword to my mix to give an extra layer.
My method of farming is simple.
1. I do scout first and take on any hero lvl 15 or lower.
2. since I have more war horns that I know what to do with, I use them, they last for a whole week so I use 1 per week.
3. I also have Ultra Corselet which also last for a whole week. If I have an item I use it, I pay for the dam thing right?
4. I use a hero lvl 227. He is my main hero for farming lvl 10 NPCs, I never send anyone else. He works twice a day since my army is not that big yet.
5. All my levels on the academy at at 9 or better.
6. This is what I send to attack a lvl 10 1 mile away.
94000k archers
4k scouts
2k transporters.
battless1.evony.com/default.html?logfile/20100623/c9/42/c9425e684acf2b437d993ccc532f3253.xml
Loses are 2999 of the scouts
6314 of the archers.
I always get the 19.000000 million food and the rest of the stuff.
new stats. battless1.evony.com/default.html?logfile/20100625/ae/c2/aec208be5bf6c627a28d55c4f2bcd705.xml
as of 7-2-10 this is my new way of farming lvl 10 NPCs I do use war horn: battless1.evony.com/default.html?logfile/20100702/32/97/32972e0a929e05e80b0d7ae0a9a4e7ed.xml
Simple and quick! Again, if you have the horns, penicillin and corselet, use them! Why not use what you already have?
My 2 cents.:knight::knight::knight:
I have found that using a combination of;
2000 workers
2000 warrior
4000 scout
1900 transporters and
90100 archer gives me the best result.
All of my research is at lvl 10. You can comfortably start this with a lvl 150 attack hero with war horn and no scouting. After hero gets above 200 attack war horn isn't needed, although i use it since i have plenty and want to be safe.
On average losses will consist of all workers and warriors, between 2-4k scouts and between 4-6k archer. I average around 4800arch loss per attack, sometimes lower sometimes higher.
Best part is you bring back all 19m food to feed your hungry army :D
Hello all here is my war report.. your thoughts are appreciated.
I have all LVL 9 techs, and a Lvl 205 attack hero..
battlees1.evony.com/default.html?logfile/20100716/a4/72/a47260b84457a9d9d37f1ab5cb34241e.xml
From what I read everywhere I should have seen losses from 5-12k.
i would be VERY interested to hear something about that myself. scouted lvl 10, got lvl 11 defender, sent lvl 39 hero with 183 attack, war horn and penicillin, all techs at lvl 10, and 2k each of workers, warriors, scouts and transports, and 92k archers. lost em all. even sent in 8 waves of 5k warriors each before the main hit. any thoughts on what went wrong would most definitely be appreciated. thank you

If you're playing Age2 and experiencing total troop losses, it is most likely due to a low leadership value. If you are using a regular hero, that hero's leadership value will be equal to it's level (up to 100). A high leadership value is needed to see similar consistent losses as in Age1.
