depends what level you are talking about. if you are refering to the fortress, there are threads on that too

In a nutshell: always get espionage first, use tools, and send as many soldiers as you can. Attack layout is a longer subject, but normally I only attack two sides, avoiding the strongest flank so I can take it on in the keep where there will be no wall/defensive tool bonuses to deal with.

This is the best course of action, however, we have to take into account the switching over from left to right whilst the attack is on the move. In short, your strongest attack will take on the strongest flank and vice-versa. Just get the right troops and calculate how many of each you need to beat your opponent.

Is there an info file like there is for the robber baron castles? Which setup all the different level towers have?

[1394152] PeterKlinting [None] :: Sept. 25, 2012, 11:23 a.m.

I have an Excel file for RBCs downloaded from here: http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/empire/showthread.php?19985-Robber-Baron-Guide (scroll all down on post #1, and you can download it there. Note: Only for the great kingdom is showed!

I've studied in defeating the Barbarian castles, and the results are: X=Heavy Crossbowman, Z=2HS, L=Ladder, R=Ram
For level 20 BC (Left flank/middle/right flank): 9X+4L / n/a / 9X+4L
Losses (Left/middle/right/courtyard): 2/0/2/2

For level 21 BC: 5Z+6L / 10Z+6L+4R / 5Z+6L
Losses: 2/2/2/3

I only got espionage reports to level 23: (NA=Norseman with ax, NB=~ bow, F=Farmer (armed citizen), FA=Fire arrows, S=Stonethrow, B=Bulwark)

22: 12NB 2FA / 7NB / 10NB 3FA / n/a

23: 14NA+8F 1S / 1S / 12NB+20F 1B

That's all I've found out for now. Hope it helped and enjoy gaming

I have that one too. I've only attacked with it 2 times, but it is a winning:
(X=Heavy/veteran crossbowman, Z=2HS/Vet. maceman, L=Ladder)

(Left flank / Middle / Right flank) - 20Z + 10X + 8L / n/a / 20Z + 10X + 4L

Losses (Left flank / Middle / Right flank / Courtyard): 13 / 0 / 9 / 10

If you won't do an espionage, you can just use 8 ladders on each flank, but if you do one, use 8 ladders on the flank with the tar pitch kettle.

I don't have further on the desert towers right now

Hope it helped:)

thanks for the guide. I am not sure what 2HS means. Is this a Heavy Swordsman? If so then what is a good replacement? I am level 16 and trying to attack level 11-12 RBC and dont have access to those higher level units yet.

[1458054] Unknown :: Jan. 6, 2013, 4:35 p.m.

Thanks for the guide brah. Will rep u if I get the chance!

[1459921] optimus1234 [None] :: Jan. 9, 2013, 1:47 p.m.

2HS is a 2-Handed Sworsman

[1548733] puddingponie [None] :: May 8, 2013, 4:45 p.m.

for lvl 20 barbarian towers if you use max heavy crossbowman in first flank you end up with only 2-4 casualties but you need losts of food production

[1606583] Mighty Kenzo [None] :: Aug. 8, 2013, 9:25 a.m.

And can somebody tell me the reward for defeating a level 20 barbarian tower

well, there is no such thing that l know of as heavy swords men, try to send as many troops to the defender troops weakness and the best you have.

i have not used this in a very long time but here it is, it also has all the desert, fire peaks and green world rbcs and towers too so basically it cuts out the spying and you can just set up your attacks the way it says and it's the minimum amount you can possibly lose during any game attack. don't work on player but it works on everything else. hope it helps.
