    I use catapults on level 6's, zero losses. Just finnished testing to be sure, zero losses with all my old numbers on the same level npcs.

    Also, a lower level HBR level makes the ballistas take less time to run into the rocks/logs, therefor getting themselves killed faster, and less hits on the walls before they get pwnt.
    (apparently, I dont really know from experiance, as my 10 cities all have level 9 or ten academys and my HBR is at 10)

    Game mechanic change- MYTH BUSTED.
    Thread over.
    I get straight to the point. I may seem harsh. So be it.

    However, if you notice my reports, you'll see that RFs and RLs weren't triggered. So that theory doesn't stand, either

    Nothing to do with ballista...but I just finished tearing down a warehouse to put up another barracks; and the game wont let me now. Could yesterday, now today we cant change the buildings???? Says "Site has been preoccupied". Yea, I KNOW that, I put up the WH and I tore DOWN the WH.

    Off topic, but- It happens, try relogging, usually fixes it. If not, punch a wall a few times, bandage your hands, and then try again.

    Horseback Riding can be timed so that your catapults and ballista will land in the 20 range increment safe zone between the 2100 range of a fully upgraded ballista and the 2080 range of a level 6 archery level 6 wall that rank 6 NPCs have. The trick is to figure out what level gets you between 2900 and 2919 feet without putting you over 2920. Frankly I don't care enough to bother doing the math more than the fact that at rank 10 horseback riding you're moving at 150 a round, and you end up inside of range after traveling 3000 units, putting you at 2000 units distance, inside range for both walls and ballista. At rank 5 walls & archery towers only have a range of 1950, which is still not enough to hit you at 2000 units away.

    Assuming Archery itself isn't taken into account for tower range.

    It defies all logic, but that is what the evidence I've seen indicates.
    I've got horseriding 9, and I've been farming NPCs 1-5 with no losses.

    I think it's archery. I have archery 9, and hope to farm level 6's with no losses come archery 10, but I've heard rumors that it ain't so.

    nowadays, when I hit a level 6 NPC with 800 Ballista, I lose 30-50 of them.
