Right.... Look at my report on Page 15....
1K pike
1K swords
1K warr
95K archers
2K ports.
That is all that is needed. To scout, I only use about 100 when scouting and I stop if I find a hero between the levels of 1 and 10. I have hit a Lv. 10 before without scouting it and ran into a Lv. 23, but I didn't suffer that many more losses, maybe 500 more then normal. Also, Using buffs when attacking helps as well. Corsets are the only problem I run into, due to me not getting any from the wheel, and an Ultra costing around 60 game coins ($6 USD ). Other then that, I only loose around 7K archers, the 1K of everything and my 2K ports haul it all back. 19m food times 3 ( barb cities around me ) times 3 ( every 8 hours = 1 day ) = a nice bit of food :) 171m food ;) Not to mention hitting the Level 5's... Only problem I really see in farming Lv. 10 NPCs are the archers you need to make. You get the resources to remake the 1K warr, swords and pike, but the archers cost more. Listed below is what I send, How much it costs to remake the troops. Also I have listed more archers then what I loose, but that is just a general idea :
I have not tried to farm a Lv. 10 NPC without any buffs, but since I am currently not working on anything I may attempt it tonight. Without buffs I am sure I would loose more troops then with, but I am thinking no more then an xtra 3-5K... Some people have said that without buffs, they loose almost double. So instead of 8K they loose 16K... If someone has done this, and can confirm, please do so?
What is needed to attack a Lv. 10 NPC :
Warrior : 1,000
Pikeman : 1,000
Swordsman : 1,000
Archers : Rest of the empty troops spots
Transporters : Enough to carry back ALL resources and gold and cover what troop losses can not.
What is needed ( about ) to remake the troops lost attacking a level 10 NPC :
Warrior - 1K
Food - 80,000
Wood- 100,000
Iron - 50,000
Archer - 10K
Food - 3,000,000
Wood- 3,500,000
Iron - 3,000,000
Pikeman - 1K
Food - 150,000
Wood- 500,000
Iron - 100,000
Swordsman - 1K
Food - 200,000
Wood- 150,000
Iron - 400,000
Thanks.
