Thread: Stuck getting junior battalions on the wheel? They have a use!

  1. #1

    Default Stuck getting junior battalions on the wheel? They have a use!

    I get junior battalions more than anything when using amulet and thought they were worthless until today!

    This is what you do with them... Open up all your packages. Let's say you have 10, well now you have about 1000 workers and 1000 scouts. Useless you say when you have 1000 transporters and 90k archers? Just wait!

    Send those warriors and workers at your enemy in waves of 100! Guess what? You'll gain honor! Yes you heard me right! You'll gain honor as long as your enemy has defensive trebuchets!

    I just send 10 waves of 100 warriors at my enemy and it destroyed 500 defensive trebuchets! I gained over 20k honor doing this and took out a good bit of his wall defenses in the process (I also knocked out quite a few traps)

    So don't get upset when the wheel screws you with a junior battalion. Put it to good use!

    This was a public service announcement brought to you by bubb rubbs and lil sis... WOO WOOOOOO

    Yes it does. I posted thread called "defensive trebuchet's are a cosmetic change" that had an incident like this. The far superior range of the fancy-schmancy catapults that break after use are the death of them.

    They don't just hit mechanics. Heck 6 of them would probably fire at a worker.

    Dawnseeker made it clear if you didn't like the way defensive trebuchets worked then you shouldn't build them...

    your thread is what gave me this idea worked perfectly... took out my enemy's 500 defense trebuchets and now my ballista can conquer him without fear. it's brilliant how such an expensive unit can be destroyed with the cheapest unit in the game

    How about they are so effective they will decimate a worker to pieces.
