So - assuming you're all correct - it would seem that the upshot of all this is: In order to get the flamethrower, just keep doing what you're already doing - just maybe a little more frequently??!!! ....

getting drunk playing dominations and hitting all the wrong buttons?.. cool ok! :p ;)

Nope - I think he's saying the same thing - maybe perspectives are getting a little confusing .....
''so I think its going to be attacking(other bases) and killing defenders''

Either way, I think we've all speculated enough. Let's move on.

15400 troops to kill. I just did my first attack, killed 81. That's 190 attacks, about 27 a day. Doable with training blessings on the weekend, no way I can do 27 attacks during regular work day. I can only hope I average more kills per battle than 80.

Edit: 2nd attack, 110 kills, I hope that number only goes up.

ha ha, guess you've got to plan attacks so that the garrisons can spawn hundreds of foot soldiers, I could see using a troop of 5 infantry, a few rifles and a couple of machine gunners to circle a base, setting off all of the garrisons and then mowing them down....I'll try it and let you know. Have done similar things when trying to get crowns from old beardy by killing defenders....

Quick way to finish this event would drop an army of machine gunners / gatling gunners in the corner of the map near a acropolis and have them hold their ground...

... just remembered my factory is under construction for 8 more days.

This one seems too difficult to get. Where do the developers get these numbers? I know they have the data for the average number of attacks and troops killed per attack. Just make the requirement the mean, so at least 50% of the playerbase can get it. This one seems like only 5% can get it, as it requires a very large amount of time investment.

Quovatis if we have learned one thing up to now, then it's they don't have any data that would help them decide ;-)

Presumably the Timed Quest where you have to kill X defenders - I have one at the moment, kill 1260 in 3 days, up to 300 on the first day, 3 battles.

So the 15,400 isn't going to happen.

They probably have the data, just nobody with SQL skills to access it. Or anything else in a database, such as Max Walls in GA or Ghengis Khan Dias's that are still lurking in bases.

They want me to kill 2,200 defenders a day, each day, for a week? That's just unreasonable.

yeah well that would be nice but theres no way to make them hold their ground haha, rallies what? .. 30 seconds, my nutters would be half way round the map at 20 seconds :(

Ok, so I am not sure where the 15,400 number is coming from. I am seeing 9500 to get the final event reward. However, that is still roughly 1360 defenders to kill per day. I am not sure what other people are doing technique-wise to kill 80+ in a single battle as I have read above in this thread, but I just became Enlightenment Age. That means, I am still fighting with Gunpowder Age level troops. I am killing on average 40 defenders per battle. That would require me to fight 34 battles per day for 7 days straight to get the final event reward. I play this game a lot and am considered one of the more serious players in my alliance, but that is far too many battles to fit into a single day. Even if that 9500 were halved to 4750, that would still require ~17 battles a day for me to get the final event reward which would still be too many to do for seven days in a row. This event requires way too much to complete. It is interesting that there are events I can finish early in only a couple of days. Then others, like the last one, took a lot of attention and coordination in our alliance, but, still not everyone got the consulate. But, this one is quite a category altogether. Darn near impossible. If I devoted the time required over the next 7 days to get this event complete, I would likely have disregarded a lot of other responsibilities in my life and be quite ashamed of myself. Perhaps, BHG could rethink this event?
