Hi,
I've managed to scrape through to Gunpowder Age, but mainly through farming with the occasional raid. I've never used any of the stronger troops; balista, healing cart, knight, wall breaker; just relying on rifle dudes, the german axe men and the heros (I now have 3, so I've just cycled through them as they get wiped out).
I ran two attacks in our alliance's war, the first went pretty well; 5 stars in well under 2 minutes with half my troops returned uninjured and most of my tactics unused. The second, on a lower ranked base, I got wiped out (2 stars, but was never close to any more). The difference was the wall strength; first had weak walls, this one had storng walls.
I assume the way to attack bases like this are with balistas, perhaps with knights as meat shields, and probably with a load of rifle men to take care of enemy troops. I just don't really know how to do this?
How would you attack this base? I've waited until our war has ended to post this, so that people don't think I'm trying to cheat.
regards
Dave
