Thread: 10 NPC with 9 Archery - Possible?

  1. #1

    Default 10 NPC with 9 Archery - Possible?

    As I wait 5 more days for archery 10, I wonder: Would it be possible to farm a 10npc with archery at 9, other relevant techs at 9, attack hero of 200?

    Has anyone ever tried it? Did you use something like the 2k worker 2k warrior 4k scout 90k archer mix?

    I assume losses would be relatively high.. but I'm curious if it would successful or a total defeat. 25k archers I can lose, just to try it out a few times, but I don't want to lose them all

    I don't really recommend anyone to try that.

    I am farming 10's now with 9 compass.. 6-7k archer loss.. 2k warrior 5k scout 91k archer 2k transports.. all other techs at 10 .. war horn and hero with 250 attack. I was getting 7-8k archer loss with a hero at 200 attack.

    with all other techs at 9 though expect a much bigger loss.. say 12k or so

    Archery at 9, not compass; the compass issue has been thoroughly covered in other threads, but I couldn't find any information regarding attempts with archery at 9.

    With Arch 9 or 10 the archers should engage the warriors on the same round which means the distance between the warriors and the archers will remain unchanged giving them the same number of rounds to kill the warriors, and they should reach range on the walls on the same round as well suffering the same number of rounds under attack from the towers before getting to fire back.

    Ah, thank you Ashanta. Do you have any sense of whether this would make the attack unwinnable, or just heavy losses?

    I farmed lvl 10's with the typical 94k arch with the typcial 1K swords/pikes/warrs/Scouts and 2k transports with lvl 9 archery. If i remember correct I was taking around arounf 8-9k archer losses each hit. This was Age 1 though and for the life of me I can't remember what hero level I had. He wasn't drastically low. but i know he was at least 15-20 points short of the recomment attack hero level for a level 10.

    That probably doesn't help you much but

    Thanks Shep, that's a great help actually - someone who as actually tried it (and remembers) with 9 archery. I'm on Age I by the way, I guess I should have mentioned that.. not sure if the core game mechanics differ or not. My attack hero is around 200, which isn't too bad. I think I'll give it a shot, will post update. I'll scout down the hero as low as I can too, that might make a difference for lower attack heroes.

    Results:

    Right on Shep

    I sent 2k worker, 2k warrior, 4k scouts, 2k trans, and 90k archers. All the workers/warriors/scouts died, lost 8433 archers, won in 15 rounds.

    Defending hero scouted down to level 5. Mine had attack 202. No buffs. MT 9, IW 9, Medicine 8, Comp 8, Archery 9.

    I wonder if the lower compass had some effect in keeping losses lower? Anyway I'm very happy with this result, I was half expecting a total loss. I know 8.5k isn't ideal for farming, but it's not bad at all - and well worth it given the experience

    From what I've seen, as far as talk goes on the forums, defending npc hero level doesn't really play that much of a role, and I think 200 attacks is pretty good for a lvl 10 hit. I want to say my hero was lower than that but as I can't really remember I don't want to give you false info. I'm pretty entrenched in age 2 and quit age 1 about 6 months before age 2 came out, so my info may be abit dated

    Good luck on your lvl 10 hit.

    Believe it or not way back when I had an alliance mate who had been farming with archery 8. Somehow it worked out well for him for a couple weeks before he finally wiped out and lost completely.
