OK, as i am getting so many msgs about how a nobleman works etc and it appears no one wants to read the other threads i am going to write this post out and send people who keep asking me to here.


Ok.

Things to remember about a nobleman.

You need a level 20 Smithy. This is an absolute pain in the ass to get. With a level 20 HQ it takes like 18 hours to build a level 19 and 20 hours to build a level 20 Smithy. So plan accordingly (make sure you have farms and warehouse space).

The academy takes about 8 hours to build.

Your nobleman then takes another 3 hours to build.

Ok, now to the main point of most people's questions - How you take over another persons village.

You must send the nobleman to attacl another persons village. This village could be any size village (50 pointer or 2000 points or higher, it makes no difference).

Now, some very important things to consider.

Make sure you know the defence power of the village your trying to take out.

I sent my nobleman with a massive escort as i wanted no surprises of people sending support troops etc.

The last thing you want is your nobleman to die. And this is for every attack you make with him ("every attack you make i hear you cry".

Yes thats right, you will be making anywhere from 3-7 attacks depending on the distance of the village from you.

A nobleman moves at 35 mins per field (the slowest unit). So every field the village your attacking is away from you the harder and longer it will be to take over.

The village i took was 3 hours 50 mins (4 hours for arguments sake).

Thats 4 hours there and 4 hours back home again, making it a round trip of 8 hours.

This is important for several reasons.

You basicly attack the village. If your successful you will decrease the loyalty of that village between 20 and 35%. This seemed completely random and different sized armies made no effect (i.e. a bigger army never gave me a bigger increase).

So if you were unlucky and only took it down 20%, you would be looking at 5 runs. Which of course is 5 x 8 hours.

Now whats worse is, the enemy village regains loyalty at a rate of 1% per hour. So for every attack you make, you might as well minus 8% of your attack, as the time you get back to the village they would have regained that much.

So of course this means you are likely to add even more time via attacks to take over the village.

So as you can see, its NOT an easy and straightfoward process.

Now if your attacking a village in a big clan, they would have plenty of time to send huge amounts of support to defend against you taking over.

If at any time you were to lose your nobleman in the attack (even on the last attack) you would have to start the entire process again.

So be VERY careful on who you pick to take out. This really limites the options available to most people.

I would reccomend you dont try and take out a village that is more than 4-5 fields away.

I cant think of any other questions i've been asked, but if anyone has any, post them here and i will do my best to reply to them.

to big7cow: no nobleman cannot be traded. they are just like every other troop. they can be sent for support if your an idiot, but im pretty sure no one in this game is that dumb :p as for sending recources, i never knew of this. but you can store recources in your academy for when noblemen start costing aprox. over 50k of each recource. maybe its those that can be sent to other players?? not to sure on that one

to bean state your question a bit better next time...

if your talking about the player who lost his village, they get a brand new one out on the outskirts of the world. if your talking about the player with the newly obtained village, they have to upgrade thier academy or build a new one and train another nobleman.

The absolute mininal amount of points your village can have with an academy would be 1654p

I don't know if this has been answered or brought up or not, but there is a person with 2 villages at about 1400 points...

Here is a question I havent seen answered.....

Say you have troops lent out in support. Meanwhile, someone attacks with their nobleman enough times to take your village before your support troops can make it back in time. What happens when they arrive home to find a new owner in their home village?

Do they attack? Or do they become property of the villages new owner, since that is where they originated from? They obviously couldnt set up as support, because they now have no home to be recalled to.

They'll arrive back at home - see the new leader and kill themselves.

No kidding!

Whenever a village is taken over - the troops of that village die/vanish/disappear. But troops in movement will arrive, taking action and then die/vanish/disappear.

your current village is owned by a nobleman. it doesnt effect the village in any way being taken over by a nobleman as oposed to staying with the original player

Another question:

If you destory an academy in an enemy town, what will happen to its nobleman, do they keep it for use, or is it gone?

they will keep it but if it dies or it takes a village the academy will need to be rebuilt back to where it was before and then upgraded again before you can build more noblemen.

Is there any chance a nobleman will die attacking a village with no army (the same way you lose some spearmen)

Hint: Do never ever send a nobleman alone. - Except that you want him dead.

The game actually prevents you from sending a noble alone :icon_wink: It's always best to send more units than you think you need with a noble expecially if you think the village is being supported or other players might be trying to take the village before you. When the last noble attack hits the units sent with the noble become support in that village!

yes you can.
only one will capture the village , and you may just attack yourself on the second but go ahead.

thepordage, if you have two incomming nobleman on a village, but the first one takes it over, does that use up the nobleman in the second attack as well.

What if you send two noblemen to attack a village? Then what happens?

This was already answered... if you send more than 1 nobleman in a single attack, it's the same as sending a single nobleman for the purpose of loyalty loss..
