As a general rule, farming NPC10's in Age2 is exactly the same as Age1, same rules, same combat results if the stats in the combat are all identical. (note Age2 has some new stats inside a combat that were not present in Age1)

The differences you are experiencing could be due to:

1) Hero differences, as noted by other posters. Your age2 hero does not have the ATK stat that your age1 hero had. Also, Leadership might play a role in the combat result against NPC10s, it is completely untested, and no one is even sure if it matters only when troop size is > 100k, or if it matters at all.

2) In Age2, even when you scout for a low level hero, the hero will sometimes change before your attack hits. I have some vague theories about why, but nothing is tested. If you want a wild stab, it seems to me that the hero can change on each 6 minute "tick", IF the loyalty is 90.

3) In Age2, I noticed better availablity of decent heros in the Inn - more Base 61+ atk, pol, int, heros than in Age1. I have no data to back this up, this is just based on observation. If this is true, and the random hero inside an NPC10 might also be "better" on average, assuming the game uses the same algorithm to choose a random hero inside the Inn and inside the NPC10. (Short version: Random Level 10 hero "michael" in Age2 probably has a higher ATK stat than random level 10 hero "michael" in Age 1.)

Just offering my 3 cents, I hope it helps.
