Newbie Guide for NPC

[Orexis]

So, if I'm attacking a level 1 city with 20 ballistas with minimum tech (6 archery, 0 hbr), will I take losses? Do I need hbr at all for level 1-4 NPC's?

Whats the Minimum Archery HBR Ballista combo to get 0 loss on a lvl 4 npc with say a 70 attack hero

Did you seriously say this?
Obviously you've never attacked an NPC before.
