    Default HC 12 Hit

    Follow much (but not all - hence my losses, doh) of the advice here, I had an acceptable (read: not ideal, but merely OK) loss.

    The facts of my situation:

    I used 8 lv. 100 heroes, 1 lv. 97 hero. Best hero was my Queen at 239 and my regular heroes were from 223 to 214 attack. I have some level 4 equips, but mostly lv. 3. I used war horn only and 5 war ensigns. I have no Historical Heroes, and as you can see have pretty much gotten by on equips with what the game has given me ? i.e. this is something everyone should be able to replicate and hopefully vastly improve upon without buying a cent.

    Here goes!

    -Warbombing worked it?s magic ? brought traps/dts/logs down and kept my layers alive, esp. in the queen wave (1st arch rainbow). I sent 39 waves and had this to show for it 11 seconds before hammer comes down:

    Casualties: 117k wars, killed many traps, 4k cav ? a pretty sound trade-off, imo.

    100k pike wave hits 2 seconds after 100k war wave ? I know the war wave killed about 16k cav given the scout report as war bombing finished up ? leaving 92k cav to deal with, 100k pike wave takes out about 2/3 of the cav before dying.

    1st Arch rainbow wave ? goes out, kills the cav and takes a big chunk out of the swords before dying ? I never get tradefire with HC archers.

    This is where things went ?wrong? or rather, where I lost the most troops. 2nd arch wave comes in, gets blanked, though there were approx. 88k swords left after Queen wave, scout report comes in just before next two waves hit and shows 32k sword remaining ? meaning 2nd arch wave killed in the neighborhood of 56k swords and not much else. 3rd arch wave hits, also gets blanked and 4th arch wave hits and shows no swords (3rd wave killed ?em + about 40k wars), arch dead and small chunk of wars dead ? hoorah the hard work is done, but not without decent cost.

    What I need is some feedback and better setting up my waves (specifically 1st-3rd waves) to get tradefire with arch ? all opinions requested!

    Remaining war clean up:

    Followed by the prescribed loyalty waves.

    All told my approximate losses were 820k arch, 300k wars, 110k pike, 25k swords. Can be done much cheaper, that's for sure, but given the facts of my particular case and that this was my first time running this attack, it is about what I expected and prepared for, loss-wise.

    All-told I'm psyched to work the kinks out and try again in a few days (after I do a tad bit of arch rebuilding, heh).

    Satan made one note that I should remove the pike wave to achieve tradefire with arch - I'll definitely try that on my next go-round and hopefully it will be the difference of a rainbow or two.
