    I honestly have stopped bothering to scout for a low hero in 10's, as half the time the level of the hero doesn't make a whole lot of difference in losses. It is, after all, a level 10 barb city. You'd have to expect a higher-stat hero in there. If not, well lucky you.


    Anyhow, I only suffer 4.5k-5.7k loss on the archers. Lower heroes, like our good friends have said, have their losses flucutate because they sometimes can't wipe everything out and power through the defending hero's intel with their attack power...

    In this case, wait until your hero is at least 150 att, and also send more layers to prevent these losses. If you positively have to send a low-level hero, use a war ensign and use the extra troops for layers.

    Jurnis advised that he cap the city to investigate the hero, not necessarily to keep it. Rebarb right after to keep an NPC to farm.

    As for the "don't scout" bit, he was saying that because the hero in an NPC changes with each scout. If he rescouts prior to capping, the hero in there will switch off, before he can investigate.

    Well, they have, but some people are so wrapped up in their own theories that they don't listen.

    The fundamental problem, as many have stated, is a hero mismatch. The attacking hero can't deal with the defending hero's stats, which are invisible and therefore it's pointless to scout. NPC heroes are the same as inn heroes. Random xp divided randomly between the 3 attributes.

    There are two simple remedies which can be applied, depending on the situation. If you are starting up and developing your main attack hero, you can keep compass 9 until the hero hits 180 or so. You can safely hit 10s with a hero with 140 attack using compass 9. The other approach, which gives consistent but higher losses than the worker/warrior combo with a low hero is to use a combo using warrior/pike/sword.

    I was given these tips about 18months ago and haven't experienced a loss of more than 9k on any ten hit during 6 new server start-ups. Naturally at 180 attack I ensure I have compass 10 and worker/warrior combo to enjoy the 4.5k - 6k losses we all know and love.
