    There are essentually groups of valleys.

    Archers with other troops, generally no.

    Cav with [not archers] or without other troops, possible with archers, 1 pike 1 sword 1 ballista and maybe 1 cav, generally not efficient over 5 miles as this is over an hour return trip.

    Foot soldier only, archers 1 pike 1 sword, and if there are many pike and sword 1 cav or 1 warrior. Good. 1 cav may be used instead of 1 pike 1 sword. Archers, about 28 K to 30K for L10s, 22.5K to 25K for L9s and so on.

    Archers only, 10k cav for a L10, 7K cav for a L9 and so on, with 1 scout. Excellent. Fast turnaround and longer range cycle possible, as in under 10 mins at similar distance to a foot soldier valley.

    Use evocalc to understand how your attack will work, add 10% more archers is a good idea, dxcalc is more accurate but does not show rounds and is faster to use.

    Never send bare archers without support to any valley, is my view. Archers are time consuming to make, particularly in the early stages of play.

    Scouting your valleys first and having a list of owned valleys will save time and troops.

    Scouting an area 28 miles by 28 miles will normally yield 4 good valleys sometimes more sometimes less. Send out your teams, come back in an hour and do it all again.

    3 to 5 medals a day is typical in my experience. Lions are the easiest to obtain and Wisdom the most difficult.

    From my exp troop losses doesn't mean much its all about how long the battle takes. The more rounds the fight lasts the better ur chances are of a medal to drop

    Thus lowering the number of archers used, is apparently a good idea.

    You didn't send enough layers. ifarmyou is clearly a little off on his formula, but as you can see above mine have been tried and tested (numerous times might I add) and you will get no losses if you send the appropriate layers.

    Bignasty is correct. The chance of medals seems to go up with the number of rounds the fight takes. This makes the valleys with more defensive layers a better candidate for medals. Another thing that will help to get medals is to fill your FH so you can't capture a hero.

    As far as sending rams, certainly nobody is forcing you to do any such thing. It is the most economical way to hit certain valleys. If it's a 2hr trip, maybe not a great idea, but it's not bad at all for the 6min it takes to hit 1mile away. Like I said, take it or leave it. There are much faster ways to get valleys, they just cost troops. If you don't mind wasting troops then this thread probably won't be much help to you. I will often use rams to reset a valley (cap/release) in hopes that it can later be hit by a faster combo (every hour). If you don't care about losses, just send 100k cavs to everything. They will clear any valley in minimum time, if that is a concern.
