Lc Rush

[Ripfin]

clearly THOU HAST NEVER SUFFERED A SPEAR NUKE.

Oh I have encountered spears in villages, but for some reason spears don't do as good as people think they do, also you forget if you have LC then you have scouts and can scout a village to see what is there, if a bunch of spear then send axes, if not then send LC.

As it goes I was involved in several big wars on world 2 even held off attacks from the entire HOT/TW family by myself since they seemed determined to wipe me out, and my defenses were an even amount of spear and sword, and it worked well for me.

Those wars were years ago

Scouts Maybe LC no way 2 weeks in the haul limit will only be around 15k making LC a complete waste of time.

 

[Ripfin]

But they were so much fun, the rush of adrenaline waking to thousands upon thousands of attacks incoming on my villages and so on, so you in world 69 ?

Comparing old world to new world wars is like comparing amateur to professional boxing. An even sp/sw split has no sustainability.

I will be in a few days, doing what you're doing, hiding on a new acc

yeah these new world wars lack any staying power and such, when world 2 had wars it involved the whole world, these newer worlds have been lack luster in this, though have heard of a few decent wars.

yes my enemies are numerous and would love to destroy me while i'm weak, and not up to full strength. (wonder if i'll top my village best of over 1K villages in this world ?)

The pace of wars has steadily increased over the 7 years I've played. People have gotten much better at putting the knife into people quickly. It's not my problem to educate you though, just giving myself an opportunity to say "I told you so" later down the line.

If you are going to be the type of player who is going to build mainly offensive troops in your first village then if it was me I would be making L/Cav when your time restraints mean you are struggling to gain your quota of resources from the quest troops & any D requirement your tribe expects you to make.

 

[DeletedUser109227]

@ Stinky Feet? Scouts can't gather resources, @DaWolf85 LC make for good attackers to strike fast and hard unlike Axe which are slow and while resource gathering is limited it goes up in limit each day until it reaches its cap, and me i'd like fast attackers and quick resource gatherers and leave my spearmen at home defending the village.

I was being Sarcastic

Yeah, best defense now is swords/archers. But it takes so long to build compared to spear/sword, or especially spear/HC

 

[Ripfin]

One thing I hate is those who just send invites to their tribe with no mails whatsoever, already had several tribes do this, and that just tells me those tribes are noob/point whoring tribes.

You can block tribe invites.

I like a sp/archer build with 700 HC added into the mix. If you need to rebuild very very fast go sp/HC.

 

[busamad]

W9 was my last serious archer world so maybe a bit behind the times I liked sp / arch / hcav as a good option due to troop speed I guess.

Tell me that you're joking.

I agree entirely. People like raven swift, just sent an invite. I mean, ?! How do you know if i'm even good or active. You don't know. You didn't even bother to check TW stats (i asked him about this). Noobs Lol

 

[DeletedUser]

I was invited to 3 tribes during pre-reg, before the world even started. Considering that I'm using a brand new name that has nothing to check on TWStats, it does give me a giggle over how some tribes recruit.

 

[DeletedUser]

Tell me that you're joking.

I am not. It works great!

Here's your standard nuke hitting an even sw/arch build with 700 HC (same pop):

Attacker Units: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0
Losses: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0

Defender Units: 0 8159 0 8158 0 0 0 700 0 0 0 0
Losses: 0 5430 0 5430 0 0 0 466 0 0 0 0
Damage by rams: The wall has been damaged and downgraded from level 20 to level 13

The build time is a whopping 772 hours.

That's a 515 hour rebuild time.

You could go more swords but it'd be much weaker or you could go with more archers, have a stronger army but the already huge build time would be astronomical:

More swords:

Attacker Units: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0
Losses: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0

Defender Units: 0 10159 0 6158 0 0 0 700 0 0 0 0
Losses: 0 7486 0 4537 0 0 0 515 0 0 0 0
Damage by rams: The wall has been damaged and downgraded from level 20 to level 13

Attacker Units: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0
Losses: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0

Defender Units: 0 12159 0 4158 0 0 0 700 0 0 0 0
Losses: 0 9699 0 3317 0 0 0 558 0 0 0 0
Damage by rams: The wall has been damaged and downgraded from level 20 to level 12

More archers:

Attacker Units: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0
Losses: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0

Defender Units: 0 6159 0 10158 0 0 0 700 0 0 0 0
Losses: 0 3739 0 6167 0 0 0 425 0 0 0 0
Damage by rams: The wall has been damaged and downgraded from level 20 to level 14

Attacker Units: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0
Losses: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0

Defender Units: 0 4159 0 12158 0 0 0 700 0 0 0 0
Losses: 0 2326 0 6801 0 0 0 392 0 0 0 0
Damage by rams: The wall has been damaged and downgraded from level 20 to level 15

Here's the same nuke hitting a more balanced army:

Attacker Units: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0
Losses: 0 0 6100 0 0 2900 300 0 220 0 0 0

Defender Units: 3000 0 0 5000 0 0 0 2000 0 0 0 0
Losses: 2285 0 0 3808 0 0 0 1523 0 0 0 0
Damage by rams: The wall has been damaged and downgraded from level 20 to level 13

This one has a build time of 346 hours, which is less than half of the one above and a rebuild time of 264 hours.

You could argue that build time doesn't mean anything except when you're being attacked but unless you have a working crystal ball you don't know when that's going to happen. Not to mention I've never been in a tribe where nobody has been attacked. Long builds are pretty damned selfish.
