you do things the hard way for medals kemp, instead of attacking 4 seperate barb cities with your warriors, attack 1 with a large force, then set the others to attack in waves smaller, with about 10-15 seconds in between. I was hitting a lvl 7 barb city with ballistas first, then sent in 5 waves straight after first wave was like 20k to take out the traps, the other 4 were all like 5-10k there were no resources left, but it was still a conquer and still a chance of a medal drop and much less losses. In one wave of attacks i claimed 2 courage and 3 honour medalsbetween
