Thread: Best Army to send against a Level 5 Barbarian City

  1. #1

    Default Best Army to send against a Level 5 Barbarian City

    The gold in a level 5 barbarian city is a very very tasty score but the question is what size army do you need to take out their forces with minimal casualties?

    Barbarian cities always have their gates open so you have to fight both the army and the defenses

    750 warrior
    1000 pikeman
    350 swordman
    250 archer
    200 calvary

    3750 traps
    1875 abatis
    1250 archer tower
    750 rolling log


    the gain:
    3,000,000 food
    180,000 wood
    180,000 stone
    180,000 iron
    950,000 gold

    So what do you guys suggest to send in order to win and make it worthwhile?

    This is the only scenario I could find on the forums about fighting a level 5 barbarian city: http://bbs.civony.com/showthread.php?t=1752

    I'd rather not lose as many troops and I want to send enough workers/transporters to wipe the town clean.

    I was thinking since Vanquish said the below in that thread, he would be the one to ask if you can find him.


    "i attack lvl5 npcs on the regular that is to my opion the best one to attack with much gain and not very many losses ,btw has any every had a ballaist killed?"

    I attack with around 10k warriors and 30k archers. I lose about 2k of each - VERY worth it. I have level 8 in everything. By the way, what are the mechanics of traps? On every barbarian city i seems to lose a minimum of so many infantry... is this unavoidable?

    that's far from efficient farming

    If that doesn't infer farming to you, you fail. Oh and the resource total is about 4.5 million - make sure to send this in transports because if you barely meet 4.5 mil some troops will die. Make sure your troops are OVER level 5 so that your archers get the first shot.
