Topic: [76457] question about Defending troops @ RBCs

[-76457] Punk Thug (US1) [None] :: Sept. 1, 2012, 7:51 a.m.
So, I'm attacking RBCs, and this one has Bowmen on each side, and no one in the middle/gate area. He has 22 Bows plus a few farmers on each side, when I can only send 11 guys at him per side per wave. What's my best move?

(Mind you, I only have 25 2 handed swords right now, and 100+ maces)

1: Send all my two handed Swords up the middle, with nothing on the flanks.

2: do that, but send 11 Maces to each side? (this is what I did)

3: Send all Maces in the 1st wave, then send 2 handers with the 2nd wave.

4: Something else.

I'm mostly a turtle player, building Def troops for my time off line and only making attacks when I have alot of time to spend online. Do to this, I'm still on the rough side of the learning curve when it comes to attacking skill ?(

I usually only attack 2 of the three sides. The weakest two (usually one of the sides has less wall/ranged defense percentage than the other). Make sure your tools add up the the percenatages. And use ranged against melee and melee against ranged.

You act like you are only using melee.

Ranged troops, while they have less attack power, are a crucial part of the game. You need heavy crossbowmen as well. There's no point fighting a halberdier with 2HS when you could use HCB instead.

I think he was saying that the RBC in question has only ranged defenders.

Oh. Well I would still use HCB and 2HS instead of mace and 2HS.
