    Default Battle Quiz #1

    I've enjoyed Jeffrox' puzzles, so I figured I would make one as well. So here we go!

    You random ported one of your full lvl 10 cities to get away from the others, as you needed more farming space.
    The city lands in a great field, but there's a red flag 1 mile away. You send 100k scouts with your best hero and kill the 100k defending scouts and get a report.

    The report shows:
    1M warriors
    600k swords
    500k arch
    75k cavs
    10k ATs
    1 trap
    1 abatis

    hero: 400+100 attack 50 intel


    walls + all techs lvl 10

    Your goal on this server is to experiment with horseback riding lvl 6 (which is your current tech level, and you don't wanna change it).
    The rest of your techs are lvl 10. The city you ported away is a lvl5 farming city, and doesn't have a lot of troops.

    The troops you've got inside is:
    5k workers
    9k warriors
    50k scouts
    50k pikes
    120.3k swords
    22k archers
    1.1k cavs
    129k phracts
    5k trans
    5k balista
    1k catapults

    The heroes in your city:
    2 x 400+100 attack 40 intel
    1 x 560+140 attack 50 intel
    6 x 120 attack 20 intel
    1 x 50 attack 20 intel (Mayor)


    Both players are coiners and all buffs are active.

    While scouting, you were talking to your friend who is in the red alliance as a spy for your alliance.
    A minute before you scouted, your friend told you that the defender said he was going out real quick and would be back in 15 mins, so you have to act quick and you don't have to worry about heals in between the hits. Your opponent has got 10mil honor, while you're at 200k.

    GOAL: How to kill this in the least amount of hits?
    Please PM your answer so everyone gets a shot at solving it.

    ROFL'ing, as I reach out to squash Mopster's avatar *hatehatehatehate*



    Just to clarify, is there an expectation that heroes won't be capped, and time to relaunch & reuse heroes? Or is this supposed to be done in a round?

    I don't believe in thinking before I speak
    I prefer to be just as surprised as everyone else by what I say

    You don't have the time to do more than 1 round of hits. You might risk losing your heroes.

    I don't scout with 500 heros so cant say forsure but wouldnt that defending hero kill all your scouts therefore you wouldnt get a report on that wave?

    The defender only has a 500 attack hero while you have a 700 attack hero. You need slightly above 500 attack plus horn to kill 100k scouts in 1 round. The intel plus corselet (defender side) may not be enough to alter the outcome though it likely could. I tried dxcalc and evocalc and both didn't take into account hero intel. This is one gray area but per experience intel has an effect on scouts as well. Somebody who has the time and smarts should do more extensive testing.

    You are using more troops than the given troops. The point with this quiz is to make people aware of the fact that there's other ways to kill things than with archers and mechs.

    NOTE: no correct answers yet.
