How to kill the scout bomb:

[Darkbrady]

So you did not train a single scout?

.....What?

[Leon Sinaga]

Looks like he is ur enemies,lol. Maybe he asked why u didnt make many archers. Some1 experienced should hve at least 500k. I had 860k but wasted them all to bomb s0me1,but they r fast to be replaced

[Darkbrady]

The way the system currently is, army size is based purely on your amount of free time. I can't maintain a large army and then what army I do have gets suicided off doin' my battletests and experiments and all produced archers after that are only jus' keepin' up w/ my NPC10 farmin' so...yeah..I don't have a large army. I've said this plenty of times before; it saddens me that I can be as involved in the game as I am but be held back from advancin' purely because of time requirements.

scout bomb.. close doors

when youre offline.. the offender will generally send cavs to clean up your swords..

[Leon Sinaga]

Close door n ur ATs down to enemies archers. Once u halt scout bombs to kill ur archers,enemies will think twice to attack. But like u said,cavs can clean out swords. But it kinda costly

.....What?

What I mean is, to prevent others scout you, another way is to have large army of scouts, make sure have more scouts than other people right?

But you build swordsman battalion to repel scouts instead. What you post is swordsman battalion repel scouts well, I think is really too late for, as I have trained 3-4K scouts already.

[Leon Sinaga]

No,what darkbrady said was to use swordsmen to repel scoutbombs. Swordsmen cant stop scouts that scout

Oic, thanks a lots.

My purpose is to prove that statement wrong.
I've shown screenies of swords endin' scoutbomb attempts w/ virtually no loss and not a single scratch on an archer.
If you have the proper manshield; you are completely defended agaist scoutbombs.

Not my fault if some one-minded fool decids to build 3mil archers, 500k warriors and neglect swords altogether.



You're wrong in so many ways, there.
Scoutbombs are a waste against less than 200k archers becasue you can send in anythin' you want to kill them off.
Scoutbombs are only effective in large scale warfare. If the opponent has too few enemies you're sendin' a nuke to kill a kitten; pointless.
Build up 500k archers and have someone scoutbomb you; you'll see how devastatin' it cna be....unless you take my advice and defend your archers properly.

Ken had it right; it's not about losses, or resources or time; it's about takin' down your enemy no matter what the cost. Jus' becasue 100k archers are more resource efficient than 2mil scouts doesnae mean they're more combat efficient. It would not be a widely used tactic if it didn't work.

Would pikes be effective? I ran the exercises in the rally spot and 20k pikes came out causing far more damage than 20k swords do on 100k scouts. It was in theory [exercising] only.I haven't had the chance to test it yet on a attacker. What do you think?

[Tenchu_sux]

what about scouts to defend against scouts?
