Topic: [92237] How to defeat a barbarian fortress!

[-92237] UserParas [None] :: June 20, 2013, 1:56 p.m.
Hey guys!
I am back with a new tip! Do u want to defeat a barbarian fortress but u have only 100 heavy troops and fear of a defeat! Here is ur solution made by me which can easily defeat the fortress with only 30 troops loss :)

This is a spy report of the barbarian fortress. Now, You should have at least 100 heavy troops. Here is the formation u need to send so that u can lose less troops:
Wave no.||Left flank||Center||Right flank
1)||Martyr Wave||Martyr wave|| Dont attempt
2)||Martyr wave||Ranged with 20 mantlets||Dont attempt
3||15 ranged,8 melee with 10 mantlets||All melee||Dont attempt
So this was the formation you should keep for less losses but you should at least have a 40% ranged bonus commander or you can have higher losses also. If everything u did is right this should be your report :)

Good luck!

Not a good idea, you can get fewer losses with 182. i wouldnt attempt until you get at LEAST 182.

My version:
Wave no.||Left flank||Center||Right flank
1)||Martyr Wave||Martyr wave|| Dont attempt
2)|15 ranged,8 melee with 10 mantlets|||Ranged with 20 mantlets||Dont attempt
3||All melee||All melee||Dont attempt

If you have four waves i would send in another wave of martyrs.

You can lose down to about 21 with a good commander.

Thank you UserParas, I just followed your script and sent 133 troops and only lost 29.

The lowest I had so far.

ZeMaster, I am hesitant to try your way because the second wave on the left flank still had 1 fire arrow.

The most troops I lost were on the Left flank, more than in the courtyard, so I'm not sure putting them in with that tool bonus still in play will help.

If you have 4 waves, it is the most effective. I lose only 30 from my formation, I tried this one and lost 40 ish.

in the trick I used in http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/empire/showthread.php?65345-fortresses-and-dragons-tips-and-tricks , I had 20 deaths using a 90% commander with 4 waves.

I think i said "40%" ranged commander. I tried with 40% because i wanted to see how many deaths will be made by low levels if they do right
