Hello all! I would like to know your tactic,how to decrease losses in sand fortresses.
I have minimum 60 losses so far and i sent
in all 4 waves 100% veteran macemen to left and mid flank including 10 ladders in left and 10 rams + 10 ladders in mid flank.Also i used one of my generals with +42% power to macemen bonus. I am sure i would make less losses with mantlets too.
What are your tactics?
Would i make less losses with 100% veteran crossbowmen?
Thank you , RudyHero from SVK server

last time I spied I concluded it's best to attack left and middle flanks split 50/50 melee ranged. 5 ladders 15 mantlets on left and 5 ladders 25 mantlets on middle. 2nd, 3rd and 4th waves should be full of crossbows/macemen.
Maybe they have different defenses on my server?

Thank you for sharing your tactic! The system is exactly that same in all servers,so you dont have to worry.
However i have few questions :P
1.) What losses did you have?
2.) By 2nd , 3rd , 4th waves full of Xbow and macemen you meant to send to all flanks or just left and middle as in first wave?
3.) Is it true when i send any soldiers in next waves (2. - 4.) so will i have less losses?
EDIT:
4.) You said 25 mantlets to mid flank. isn´t 20 mantlets (-100% dmg) enough?? why -125%?
Thank you!

You can get down to sub-30 losses with no commander bonus, I'm guessing with commander bonus down to 16 or so losses but haven't tested as of yet. One piece of advice... use suicide waves.

WELL.. i did some research and i had 40-50 losses ..
But you said it can be even lower, but how?
In first three waves i sent to all flanks 1 maceman to counter opponent tools , so it makes 9 macemen total.
In 4. wave i sent to all flanks only v. xbowmen .
in right/left flank i can use max 20 tools and in mid 30..
i used 20 shields to right and left flank + 20 shields+5 ladders+5rams to mid flank..
What have i to improve to decrease losses?????????????? ?(
