How to wipe out a village (the best way)

When planning to send catas in an attack it is important to take the size of a village into consideration.. It's pointless to send waves of 50 catas if your attacking a 50 pop village.. Be reasonable about this..

Once you've determined how many catas you want to send you then will look at your troops and determine how many troops you want to send in each with each wave.. Now there are two ways I've seen this done.. The first way is to send one huge clear wave with one cata first followed by your cata waves with smaller or no troops with the catas.. The other way is to send equal amounts of troops with each cata wave..

Once you've decided on your preferred method it comes time to send your catas and to pick your target buildings/fields..

The preferred target will give you what is called a wheat kill (crop lock).. Meaning you will destroy everything the is involved with the wheat income of that village.. This will effectively cripple a village and cause it's troops to starve..

Your targets are prioritized in this order:

I- Wheat fields
II- Granary
III- Mill/Bakery

The other method is refferred to as a military kill.. This involves destroying anything involving the production of troops..

Your targets are prioritized in this order:

I- Barracks/Stable
II- Rally Point
III- Workshop

I prefer to just take the Main building and market and do a crop lock.

Well all that's left now is to send out the attacks... this can be done in ONE second! Let me show you how...

The how-to-attack-in-1-second tactics

A 1 second catapult attack is when you are attacked multipule times in 1 second (or as near as posible to 1 second).

This is done to prevent the defender from having a chance to defend against your assault and insure maximum damage to the defenders village

Something to think about before getting to the good part

The village defending has no defences and is only 22pop (This guy actually try to attack me back with a spearman)

This is an example only, the values can be discussed elsewhere.

Browsers used are I.E. 6 and Opera to show tabed and none tabbed browsing methods

Dont know if this can be done in mozilla :)

Let Start

I.E. 6

Clearing wave

The clearing wave is used to clear all defencive troops prior to the main attack.
Note the use of 1 cata to slow the assault down
This attack could also be a fake - 1 cata only no troops to assist it
Also there could be many of these fakes/clearing waves



The catapult waves

As this is an example these waves are 10 catas strong with a support made up of my remaining troops (balance it out if you like) and the target will be set to random.

See the final picture as to how i ballanced the troops out



After doing this on all screens click the first "OK" button (dont click the second yet)

The stack

The stack is where you shrink all the windows/tabs down to a small size leaving only the ok showing

What will you get

now as fast as you can click the OK buttons in rapid sucession (dont wait for it to load just click and move on)

If done correctly you can get multiple attacks in 1 second leaving very little gap for reinforcements to join the fight







So what do we learn today?????

As can be seen there is very little chance to defend these attacks

Try doing this by sending 1 second reinforcements between your villages, use the same technique but reinforce instead of attack.

Have fun destroying your enemy :P
