Thread: NPC farming patch?

  1. #1

    Default NPC farming patch?

    I've farmed this stuff 100s of times so imagine my surprise when this happened with 3x the required amount of ballista on a lvl 4:

    battle5.evony.com/default.html?logfile/f5/ec/f5/f7/f5ecf5f7dab2886479d4ea7237dfc2a2.xml

    and then this happened with 200 more than required on a lvl 7:

    battle5.evony.com/default.html?logfile/b2/ef/2e/9b/b2ef2e9bc1cfd5dda0fd924eaed66ad7.xml

    hero was 95atk and archery lvl 8.

    Someone explain this.

    Maybe the easy farming has been nerfed...now people will have to make an effort for resources...i feel many low level players will be plundered by the bigger players who rely on the attacks on barbs to supply their food

    The only time this has ever occured to me is when establishing a new city and not having the academy levelled properly. For some reason even at the proper level it takes a bit for the research techs to actually kick in. Don't attack a npc immediatley after levelling a new academy. Give it a few hours. I sent 500 ballistas to a lvl 5 npc with a 127 attack hero a few min. after getting a new academy to 3 and they were wiped. I think everyone here can agree that 500 ballistas and a 127 attack hero are sufficient for a lvl 5. Thats the only way I can explain it.

    Someone in my alliance just attacked one like yours and had no problem. Could have been a glitch

    The problem you had was that you need a Lv 4 academy to get the archery bonus. Without it, the defenders AT's WILL outrange the balistas and you will lose.

    yea forgot archery was 4, was thinking it was 3 at the time. To think that I rendered those 10 lvls of archery useless lol.

    I know you said you have done it 100 times, but I think you screwed up for the level 7 NPC. To my knowledge, level 7 needs around 1500 ballistae. If you add 200 to top it off you should have 1700 NOT 1200.

    I don't know what happened to the level 4. 600 is 3 times the usual required amount. It should be sufficient even for a level 5.

    PS also the academy level matters too. Did you do it from a noob city?

    ever occur to you a little work may actually be required to win things now? not sure why some people always want to take the easy road instead of enjoying the actual challenge

    That is the dumbest post i have seen on the forum all day. Clearly you have just started, so we can forgive you for that. Let me explain:

    Higher prestige players need these tactics to feed the massive armies we control. Without it, we are forced to farm the lower players around us, which gives them no chance to grow. So what you have is all these dead cities around, that used to belong to newcomers, but were plundered to hell by the 500k prestige guy next door, so he could feed his troops.

    *EDIT*
    And yes, i know what you will say next "Build more farms!" No. You can have 40 level 10 farms, with 10 level 10 lakes to boost production, you still cannot feed 350k archers with it.

    Lol imagine a big twist from the devs and those 350k archers would be going on the biggest rollercoaster ride of their lives
