    Default Guide to Insta-Conquer LVL10 NPC for Forward Base

    Advanced PvP - Guide to Insta-Conquer LVL10 NPC for Forward Base
    Cross-Link to my Advanced Scout Bomb PvP Guide: http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=51612. When used in conjunction this can make you a powerful attacker.

    Synopsis:
    - Don't want to pay for an advanced teleport but want to get close to that enemy you want to conquer?
    - Sick of the 24 hr cooldown from advanced teleports?
    - Well this strategy is to tell you how to "teleport" yourself within a 100mile radius of your home cities, and begin laying down the smack instantaneously


    General Idea:
    - Extension of the regular lvl 10 NPC conquest, except doing it without waiting for troops to return.
    - It takes exactly 40 attacks (with new revised method) within a 6 minute window in order to conquer a lvl10 NPC city successfully
    - It needs coordination and timing, but can be done solo


    My Strategy:

    1) Sync your time to the server NPC refresh global clock.
    - send an attack to a random (close-by) NPC city.
    - send 6 scouts, timed 1-6 minutes camped to the same NPC city right after attack lands
    - use scout reports to determine *exactly* when the 6 minute refresh interval is, and do a +1 minute for safety.
    - So if it refreshes at 1:02. You can bet that at 12:03-12:08 there will be no respawns of troops.
    - So choose the 12:03 -> 12:04 window for your attacks to land

    2) Plan your 40 attacks

    For the initial strike:

    a) for short range, i typically send 15k balls + 5k pults along with rest archers.
    b) for Mid range, I will send 100k archers
    c) for long range, I will send 8k workers + 92k archers with a *very* high attack hero (this works up to 120 miles radius)
    d) for longer range, I will send 98k archers, 2k transporters.
    e) even longer if you are willing to take more archer losses

    Warning: Initial attack with archers only requires high ATK hero with max techs.

    The second attack, I will send 1 more archer wave to clear out towers.
    I usually send 30k war/30k archers (it can be done with as little as 20k warrior / 14k archers, or even 20k archers).
    - Range/losses will be your deciding factors.

    For the rest of the 38 attacks, you can just send 10k warriors, plus whatever transporters/workers needed to make the trip.

    Make sure you prepare all your towns with the right amount of troops (if you are only close to it), all heroes returned, max out heroes per city always.

    For the last attack, minimally you can send 10k warriors. But if you want to put your forward troops there, send the troops you want to be there when you takeover (in case you are afraid of an immediate response)

    3) Send attacks using camp time to have them all land within your window (I try to do them all within 1 minute usually)

    Timings (example window 12:03-12:09). Here's how you would time your attacks.

    1xInitial Strike: 12:03:00
    1xAT clears: 12:03:05
    37x Primary 10k war waves: 12:03:10
    1x Last conquering wave : 12:04:00

    The whole thing requires only about 130k archers, 400k warriors, and whatever your "conquering force" is.

    Your last attack to conquer will place your troops into the forward base. Could be like a 100k archer wave, and you have yourself a lvl10 forward base, with lvl10 rally point which you can then start sending out that 100k archer wave at someone's city..

    This requires the usage of CAMP function in attacks. What you will need to do is figure out where your "furthest city is" Send the attack from there first. lets say it takes 1 hr to reach destination from furthest city. You send your N attacks from that city.

    Choose the next closest city, this city lets say takes 50 mins to reach destination. So you camp for 8-9min (depending on how fast you switched). This will allow your attacks from the 2nd city to land inside the same minute as the attacks from the first city.

    Keep doing this for N cities that you are launching from

    The key to using camp function properly is to look at the ARRIVAL time on the lower right corner of your attack dialog box. This will allow you to coordinate your attacks


    I've conquered around 20+ lvl10 NPC cities this way, works great! Thanks to Soin, and many others for the initial information on conquering lvl10 NPCs, this is just a variation / optimization on that.

    Update: I it possible to do this across server resets, but you have to be careful as you never know when the refresh time will be, but closer your attacks the less likely you will get hit with a refresh timer. You could also plan for it, and send additional attacks to account for that some of your attacks will die. (7 more would do it)

    Updated: new #s to use less troops overall with this effort. 40 attacks needed. Loyalty from 90-60 is by -3. Loyalty from 60-0 is -2. With these troop counts.
