    Default New Test data POST change to rocks on a lev 10

    OK I have been farming lev 10's hitting about 8 a day and loosing 8-12K archers per attack. THAT WAS THE PAST.

    I have concurred 5 lev 10 NPC's to date as well. SO I am pretty famaliar with what they have been doing...

    Anyway as for now....
    Here is a Report you can view if you like.
    All lev 10 Techs, 50K ballista & 50K archers.

    battle5.evony.com/default.html?logfile/53/bc/bb/23/53bcbb23f6c16ffb1b147bfa2cc27f62.xml

    What I find most interesting in report is I lost 1434 Ballistas yet the total number of ROCKFALL was equal to only 1375...

    So for now I assume it is possible for the new ROCKFALL Mechanics to take out more than one Ballista or something else is now damaging them that was not before with say the same 50K archers running forward of them...

    I will have to see how many archers die if just 100K Bum rush a lev 10, for now in regards to farming the price just got to high using ballistas in the mix.

    As for concurring one well I only send one wave of Ballista so I guess loosing 1.4K ballista is acceptable just far more expensive to do...

    This is just pure archers

    battle5.evony.com/default.html?logfile/d0/f6/99/10/d0f69910fe018611a39fba811a7a3609.xml

    So my choices
    A.) 9K archers plus 1.4K Ballista
    B.) 11K archers only.

    That's a brain bender. Almost had to just go enie-meanie-minie-moo but I said WTF and just went with choice B.

    In conclusion with very few exceptions (Transports) there is almost no need at all to build a barracks over lev 4

    Could be possible that archer towers also target ballista first. Will test this out as well, thanks for posting this info Soin

    Maybe but as I see it now it does not matter. There is no advantage to using ballistas only disadvantages.

    1 slower
    2 more costly to make
    3 more time consuming to make
    4 end result I loose about the same number of troops total.

    So why bother loosing ones slower, more expensive to make and more time consuming not to mention grant ememy more honor to kill. Versus just using troops you don't even need a barracks over lev 4 for.

    THe Math gurus over there should work there slide rulers and calculators more... The balance issues of troops is far and away from close or reasonable.

    Hello Soin,

    Thank you very much for sharing this battle report. I was curious about what level 10's would be like post 6/10 patch.

    Heh...so much for "balancing the use of units". Zerg swarm rules supreme on Evony...thanks for the reports, Soin, those were (once again) real eye-openers.
    Science never sleeps...

    In addition, ballista eat 5.5 times as much as an archer. 10k archers eat 90k food an hour. 10k ballista eats 500k food an hour.

    My attempt tonight -

    battle6.evony.com/default.html?logfile/ba/46/a4/5a/ba46a45a79063c6520f2c3df9e257767.xml

    Comparing to Soin it appears I need to ignore ballistas and layering and just go with all archers as he lost much less.

    NO problem. read the reports and take from them what you will or confirm it yourself. RIght now I honestly see no benefot as far as combat troops go to needing a barracks over lev 4.

    i'm working on 150k archer and 100k warrior and gonna see if that's enough to conquer a level 10 (which i'm sure it will be)

    it's gonna take time to finish getting my war researches to 10 though

    after viewing your reports, i stand firmly that there is no use for mech infantry in this game as it currently stands...
