Archer towers vs Archers

[Satan]

This is for attacking. Your city would nearly be imposible to take.

Daily bump. Please add any research on this subject, thanks.

Yet another daily bump. Working on a more readable version.

Your city would nearly be imposible to take.

oh, the misapprehensions of those on the younger servers.

if you stay in the game long enough, there will come a time when the only constraint on the force you can bring to bear will be the 100k + 25k troop limit on your lvl10 Rally Point.

Its nearly impossible to take a city with 500k archers. I have 200k, and no one hs even scouted me.

[gary0044187]

it can be done. I have seen a report on a nearly successful attack on 600k archers plus 10 wall 10 archery. issue is you have got to expect insane casualties to do so. Every defense can be defeated, the only reason they failed was the player being attacked used a speach test on it and reinforced with another 200k archers after they had already lost around 7m soldiers trying to take it and had gotten it down to the teens in loyalty. But once again Satan has written a great guide and I cannot rep him again. Too bad I can only count on one hand the number of useful people I have seen around here.

Lol Thanks Gary

As for taking a city with 500kArchers, You need to have milions of archers, and tons of time on your hand. If he started attacking my city, first thing I do, is would to call help from my alliance. 2nd, I would start destroying his valleys with my scouts. 3rd. I start bulding up massvie archers. 4th(sometimes) I apply War horn, Corsolet, or penecillin. 5th. The members in my alliance who havent renforced me, Will most likely send a counter attack on this player, and with his troops gone, he wll have to recall, orhave his city destoryed.
SO in conclusion, to have yur city destroyed, just attakck me

Satan, I'm just curious, but is the ratio in this reference guide for barely winning? Or winning with acceptable losses?

I mean one of the important thing about this game is not about winning battles, but winning while minimizing losses... (obviously, we'd all just send 100k archers if we'd have that many archers...)

Usually, I just count the AT's as 6 archers, and plug it into the exercise in rally point and see the rough losses I'd get... but I'm interested in your method and would like to know that, following exactly the same at your ratio, what kind of losses are we talking about.

This is a guide for acceptable losses. Hell, if you have the 100k Archers, then send them. But sometimes you want to hit multiple targets, dont want to waste food, or simply dont have the archers, and want a figure to work for.

BTW, Never use exercise.
