The main things to look at when farming a lvl-10 NPC is your Tech level, your Heroes attack/leadership, Star set bonus and the wave setup your using.
I always have at least a 9 star set bonus when farming LVL-10 NPCs. I'm sure you could use a 5 set bonus, but I don't care for extra losses.

Techs that you should have:
  • Arch 10 (I don't farm LVL-10 NPCs with out it)
  • HBR 9 or 10. Some will argue that having 10 is a hindrance, but I think that this will only matter on LVL-14 or above NPCs. But that a debate for a later time.
  • Military Tradition
  • Logistics (sending 1900-2230 Transports, I don't have an updated total amount needed for a LVL-10 NPCs due to not testing it in a few servers)


Now I send 2 different farming waves to LVL-10 NPCs. The determining factor is whether I need Justice medals or not. If you going for just Resources, then the setup should be a bit different.

This is the exact setup I use for Farming Justice medals from LVL-10 NPCs. This setup yields great results for Nation and Justice medals. it is also what I use to Level HHs.
First wave:
  • Transports 1500
  • Workers 1
  • Warriors 1500
  • Scouts 1
  • Pike 1
  • Swords 1
  • Archers 92000

45-55 Seconds later the first following wave of:
  • Transports 1500
  • Workers 1
  • Warriors 1500
  • Scouts 1
  • Pike 1
  • Swords 1
  • Archers 25000

45-55 Seconds later the second following wave of:
  • Transports 1500
  • Workers 1
  • Warriors 1500
  • Scouts 1
  • Pike 1
  • Swords 1
  • Archers 25000


For farming Resources, I like to use:
  • Transports 2000
  • Warriors 1500
  • Warriors 1500
  • Scouts 3000
  • Archers 92000


Like it was stated earlier, will find the best setup that works for them with minimal losses.
the OP's hero's is level 181, I thought age II max was level 150, I might be wrong and since it's in general discussion it could be age II

Anyway in AGE I, it is possible with correct tech's to get's these losses with a level 181 hero but rare. I don't play age II so Im not sure about that
