    Default Attack types

    Hiya,

    I want to learn more about attacking opponents. Maybe someone can point me to a good source, and/or tell me about the below q's...

    I'm asking a lot, so please feel free to answer any individual parts...

    I know of:

    • archbows
    • SB's
    • jaq attacks
    • cav smacks
    • phract smacks
    • spamming to create CDs
    • spamming to make it harder for the opponent to see what's coming.


    So far, what I think I know, please correct me if I'm wrong:

    Archbows are good against small defences, e.g. AT's and minimal troops (<50k). I'm pretty sure they're not good for large defences with big layers.

    SBs are good for removing archers/ballistae from large defences.

    Jaq attacks are useful in special circumstances described here

    Question #1: what other types of attacks are there?

    Question #2: when is it good/not good to use each of the above, for the goal of removing all defences with minimal troop losses?

    Thanks again gurus!!

    Two decent guides. If those two don't suit you there are plenty of other threads. Just look in the "Game guides and FAQ" section of the forums.

    You forgot about all the various mech attacks. Naked Mechs, rams, layered mechs, as well as archer hammers (99k archers and 1k cav. only use when there are no swords and pikes, I believe.) But it appears to me you were thinking of rainbows only to be used when you can one shot kill an opponent with them, and usually you aren't going to be able to. Since you won't (and shouldn't) be able to wipe a city with one attack, you need to think of combos to use.

    Tyvm!

    Yes I forgot to add that I know vaguely of layered rams (99% rams) but not sure what else you'd use with them, I will do research on that.

    A question, can/should mostly ballistae waves be used in attacks? Or are they best in defence? I've seen them used on their own, 30%/60% with archers 60%/30% but none with much success.

    I wish someone would write a comprehensive guide, but I guess that's giving away a bit too much :-p

    the best way to make or figure out a wave is to learn the mechanics and design a wave from that for a certain type of troop/defense ... and with all technicality there are infinitely many waves and ways to use them and layering to use (in age2) and all that stuff ...

    Thanks, yes I have been trying but it's as you know very hard to get used to, especially without a definitive reference, e.g. targeting priorities under difference circumstances, and obviously the ranges etc. Perhaps someone knows good comprehensive guides for that? There are quite a lot of incomplete and/or innacurate ones (that I've found)
