    Default How to take Historical Heros from players

    So we all know that the Historical Heros are limited in number and that a few strong players have most of them. Bummer right? Wrong. I am colonized, all 9 of my cities. My Suzerain has like 12 Historical Heros. As of today I have 2 of his. What does this mean? It means that if you want a Historical Hero you can do it the hard way or the easy way.
    The easy way is to let some players who have Historical Heros colonize a few "bait" cities you put out there. Then someday do an uprise. If you win you can capture one some of their Heros. It is far easier than outright attacking their city because you will need to fight their defenses. But with uprise/supression battles it is troop against troop, no defenses, no Archer Towers, etc... And guess what? You did not pay game coins to buy the location of a HH and go there only to find it was already captured by someone. So throw some bait cities out there and let them get colonized. Keep gates closed at all times. And when the Suzerain has some Historical Heros in his city... do a real uprise. And if you win, you will probably cap one of the heros.
    Playing from a colonized position allowed me to capture TWO Hisotrical heros within 10 seconds of each other. Here are some pics of the battle reports.

    Notice the first uprise wiped all his troops (which were not that many for a 3+ mil pres player) and capped a Historical Hero. The second uprise was planned to finish 10 seconds after the first one, so, NO lOSSES and ANOTHER Historical Hero was capped.

    The first report with the level 85 queen are my troops only. The second report is a reinforced city that was a test. But the first report only reflects a fraction of my troops. Like I've always said, being colonized is a good thing in Age II. And my troops do not get drafted.

    Grats on the hero's

    Should be fun hiding them if your playing from a colonized position, hope you like being online 24/7...... wait a sec... isn't age2 a "real life peoples" game? Not sure where I heard that.....

    All this proves is the superiority of AGE II.....That there is a multitude of possible strategies that people can play.

    No more brute force and ignorance...instead there are ways to play that are completely "outside the box" of traditional Evony strategy...if you are smart enough to figure out what works for you.

    Good luck, but don't be surprised if your Suz ups his game and tries to figure out a new strategy that counters yours.

    I think this is just the beginning of a whole list of new strategies that are possible on age II.

    Personally I don't like playing from a colonized position, but I have seen the possibilities.

    This is why I don't colonize my enemies just suppress them and continue to kill their troops and walls each day. Colonizing someone leaves you so open to attacks and hero loss. The only way I find it even close to relevant is leaving only the King/Queen in your Suzerain city as highest attack. Leave all settings to 0 suppression at all times and just let people go if they uprise.

    Otherwise Colonization is absolutely pointless. The options should be Colonize OR Plunder.
