attack successful! i am now the proud owner of a level 10 barb town

this was my army before the attacks:



here's the first battle report. i used a war ensign and sent nothing but archers with the rainbow maneuver and took minimal losses (10800 archers dead)



this was the distance between the level 10 barb town and my level 10 city i was attacking from (7m travel time with warriors being the slowest guys)



here's a screeny of my victory and the troops i have left after the encounter



it took an hour of attacks (35 total attacks on my part) and i had 2 allies that sent about 10 attacks a piece

i ran into the 40k warrior respawn about 12 times and my allies each hit them twice so there was 16 total times the warriors respawned and 32 total loyalty regained

i sent waves of 10k archers + 20k warriors with 1 of every other troop except worker

i also sent waves of 10k archers + 10k swordsmen with 1 of every other troop except worker/warrior

on the 40k respawns i'd lose 10k warriors or 10k swordsmen depending who arrived and about 1k archer

i used a 111 attack hero to crack open the city and then used heroes ranging from 30 atk to 111 atk to drop loyalty

i gained 5 justice medals from the attacks and my allies both gained a few as well (only got them on the 40k warrior respawn)

here's my research levels:
military trad 10
iron working 10
compass 9
horseback 9
archery 10
medicine 9

i did have the +10% attack and +10% defense buffs on that i won from the wheel

i lost 3 war ensigns that i won from the wheel because the stupid box doesn't uncheck itself :-/ i used one on my first attack and didn't realize it was still checked until it prompted me that i had no more war ensigns to use submitted a bug report, doubt i'll get a reply

all in all i'm a happy camper! thanks everyone for so much great information.

Awwww cheater! Having an ally help... Tsk tsk tsk. Abandon it and try again!

Congrats though, although penicillin is completely useless as it stands...

WOW, grait job on that

[jdbond]

Assuming I allready have about 90k pikemens sitting around would they fill in for warriors? or should i just build warriors and save resources from the pikemens dying?

Go for pikes..They are faster than archers. But don't use them in first wave (1 will do the job in first wave).

Just took a level 10 as well. If you were trying to take it, then don't worry about the transports. 2000 more ballistas would have been a better choice. Your archers ate a lot of the traps. More warriors, less archers, more ballistas.

You do realize that archers will hit the traps before warriors? Not sure how sending warriors will save archers?

I tried hitting a lvl 10 today with what I thought was an equivalently sized force to those posted here.

And I almost got pasted. I have level 10 Mil Trad, IW, Arch, and Med. Is there something fundamental I'm missing here?

Where's your war ensign? Did you apply horn and corselet? I mean 2000 transporters, seriously!!! Where did you learn that? No wonder you didn't get any medal.

pfft they only sent enough attacks to keep loyalty down since i was so far away from it

nothing more frustrating than launching attacks and realizing the loyalty is going up as fast as you are dropping it at times

and yea penicillin is worthless which is why i'd never pay for it but if i win it on the wheel *shrug*

Does this mean we can use only Archers and warriors to take a lv10 npc twon?
And the numbers of archers you used is suprising small to me. I remember some guys
said need 300k archers or something if you only use archers.

i am preparing for a lvl 10 npc today.
i currently have
115k archers and 10k balista and 300k warriors
as well as plenty of war items and 7 heros with 100 atk+ with the highest being 117
should i send all my archers on the first wave and rainbow? or send along with the ballista.
also, whats the best rainbowing for a lvl 10 npc? 1 of each, 10 of each, or 100 of each?
thanks
