Ok, great! I will use all strong waves, 10 ladders on left and front, 10 rams on front, and at least 250 melee soldiers. This was really a helpful discussion. Thanks.

I am curious why we attack barbarian fortresses? I have missed a key point? we have easier targets to get resources.. do they give something I am not aware of? Also, I am topped off at 400 charcoal an hour.. how high can you actually get the charcoal to be without RV's? the equipment looks weaker than legendary so not sure why to save it up... guess my point is.. what is the most intelligent way to use charcoal in Iceland?

barb fortress give 50 rubies every time. for non-buyers it is the first point where they can get a machine set up to reliably gain rubies.

kings guard are the best troop to use on fortresses if your alliance has the capitol! if you want to be a barb fortress hunter you will need the highest po you can get in ewg! you will need rvs next to the fortresses! a 80 travel speed comander for transporting troops to rvs to be able to attack more. you will need a couple of commanders with 90% mellee with secondary attributes of travel speed,wall and gate reduction! you will want to be in a large alliance for rv protection! when you collect enough rubies invest in bakery or dillgrounds!so you have more troops! stock loads of tools in the rvs next to the fortresses so you dont waste time in transport! you will need to produce alot of coins and tools so it will take alot of time online to make them! you dont need any of the following in your castle in ewg dwellings town houses, fire stations, master builders dry storage, hideouts!
