Also, rams and ***** are great at reducing the "point" size of barbs close to your HQ esp later in the game. I will leave the resources but demolish the CH, Barracks, Forge, Walls, etc to keep the point value down. I know the city is full of resources and I farm it constantly. Others see the low points and look elsewhere.

Doesn't anyone just like to destroy cities and not take them??? That's the greatest is leaving someone with 1085 city with a name and no buildings. Lol ballistas are wonderful.

I got hit with only ballistas, a full city population of ballistas. They did their job despite my 25 wall and defensive forces.

I suppose only if you know you cleared the city of enemy troops. You won't be able to send a small number though. The basic defense points of a city may still kill a couple dozen.

Can you send a wave of just rams or just ballistas or do you have to send other troops along with?

Lol!
Yeah as having been on the receiving end of several of such ballista attacks I can tell its both demoralizing and takes forever to build up. Also, mean thing to do or not, trashing a city totally is commonly used to demoralize players...
Funny thing it also serves as a booster for your defiance, so you rebuild out of spite LOL ;)

And once you meet a real active player defending his city/cities, you may find the only way your gonna take it from him is by trashing it so he can't rebuild to defend it. That's what I meant by saying its all abt location... The points of the cities may not matter but the location of it does. And therefor it doesn't matter if you trash it a bit, you'll rebuild it as soon you have it. But you need to get it before that can happen.

Lol I've never really ballistaed anything but when I get bigger in my new world I will

you are right. it does come down to fighting style. I once took over a city whose army was out defending a city. recalled them and it was a crazy amount of ballistas ans rams. something like 750 ballistas and 500 rams. and I thought to myself ... what can I do with these? so I decided to take a barbarian city from 10k points to 3k points. Hell of a lot of fun. I guess it just a mean thing to do to another player. it can really demoralize them. i guess sometimes its better to destroy the city instead of wasting a scholar on it.
but that's all fun that I can do once I'm over 750,000 points.

[quote="ramorocks"]well I don't ever send a citiy's entire army to take out a city's troops. especially not if I have multiple cities. I stop doing that a long time ago. like you said it takes forever to recruit an entire city's army, that's why I send out waves of 500 guardians at a time from each city. it's faster to recruit 500 guardians from each city than it is to recruit 4000 guardians from two to three cities. I am always maxed out in troops this way.[/quote]

Who am I to tell u that you are wrong it is your own unique fighting style. But I would encourage you to use your strategy in the sim and see just what it takes to clear a city also you have the right idea with it not taking a long time to build an army however if I have 20 cities your attacking from and it would take only 2-3 full cities of troops to clear a city with what 10000 guards thrown at split into waves of 500 can do then what you do it cycle your cities out only have 5-6 rebuilding at a time like u attack with 2-3 at a time and u lose a couple full cities of troops u simply rebuild them while another 2-3 attack

Also u can rebuild an army in less than a week using a combination of units cause u can have all 3 recruitment buildings running at the same time

Yes strategic location is wha I go after not points for example if my guild is at war in world 47 I'm in r20 and the enemy is in r21 I ran a city on the border so I can launch close range attacks

I don't want a 40 k city that is in r42 that makes no sense
