Number of Troops to drop city loyalty

[thec0wboy]

Hi Everyone,

Well... I learned a hard lesson last night. Was trying to help an Alliance member take over a city, and attacked with numerous troops and lost TONNES.

The place I was attacking had lvl 9 walls, with no defences (troops inside but with gates closed) and no AT/traps etc.

I sent 1500 archers in each wave, and every attack said I didn't do enough damage and had 30% wounded.

Is there a chart, or another post explaining how many troops are needed to take out different wall levels?

Obviously 1500 wasn't enough, but to send 50k seems like such a waste.

Any help would be FANTASTIC!

Thank you!

(oh, and he didn't open his gates. He's a totally inactive player)

- Sorry this is in the guide section, never get answers in the other... and I'm looking to find, or asking for this sort of guide to be created... so it kinda applies??

i made a rough calculation and it take approx 37500 archers to defeat that lv9 wall.Do take note that gates open automatically when loyalty is at 10

[pricer]

loyalty 5 is when the gates open.

Hum there was defense, possibly gates open.

You didn't kill 10% so you got a blank report. It wasn't the walls that killed you, otherwise it would show a report with 100 rounds and you wouldn't have lost any troops.

i made a rough calculation and it take approx 37500 archers to defeat that lv9 wall.

If there is only the wall, it takes way less since you have 100 rounds time to defeat the walls. Coming to 37500/100 = 375 needed.

Do Try Battering Rams at the beginning attack waves or catapults.
Research privateering.
also when loyalty is 10 gates automatically opens so keep a watch on loyalty and ur attack should be massive wid number of waves u send.

[Lynnore]

Gates open at loyalty below 5, not 10. What does privateering have to do with anything in this post?? Falk rams and catapults if you can do it with other troops, it's way too slow.

[M&M]

you don't need catapults, rams or privateering, and gates do open on loyalty 5 not 10. Like others said, if the amount of archers was insufficient you'd get a 100 rounds defeat and all your troops would return. Seems like that player isnt so inactive, or the gates arent closed. I've taken down lvl 9 walls with 1k warriors but usually with high attack heroes, assuming no defense ofcourse.

[kingjoe]

Yeah once you see loyalty is 6, the next wave should be big enough to take the defense inside as the gate will open automatically.

[thec0wboy]

I appreciate the replies. Lynnore especially, very helpful.

It ended up that the "inactive" player actually logged in and opened gates. What a disaster!

Lesson learnt!

Could you explain the calculation you made to find out how many of each troop to send against the walls? Would be very helpful! thank you!

WHAT A GREAT GUIDE

i think the evonypedia has a calculator for this.
