RAID PROOFING 202

Now that you are starting on a good solid economic foundation, it is now time to start raiding for additional resources. 1st we start with lvl 1 npcs. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! NPCs dont attack back!! Remember this!!! It may save your acct!!! We can now start building a few bases no more than 3 right now. BTW, they are a great last build of the day, since the higher lvls are quite time consuming. REMEMBER DO NOT BUILD 2nd city till you have max def in a lvl 9 wall and plenty of troops like archers and ballistas to protect it. Most noobs build the 2nd city too soon and loose their 1st city to raiders like me looking for low def (less than 10k of def) and high building lvls and some resources. Your defenses should be about a 1000 abatis, A few 100 traps, a few 100 logs, and a few hundred trebuchets and the rest archer towers is a good starting point.. The battle dynamics changed and archer towers are now devastating!
As you get more ballistias for raiding npcs (without troop loss) you can go up a lvl or 2 on the cities you raid. Lvl 5 npcs can be done with 900 bal on low attack heros, and 400 TPs if they are close. This next bit of info is another reason I got large fast......I build my own lvl 5 npc villages. Wait and only cap valleys that are lvl 5 near your cities. its nice to only have to go 1 or 2 miles. Valley lvl changes upward every day at maint, usually one lvl. So, a constant cap, build, and abandon of 2-3 lvl 5 flats every day will soon have you farming 100s per day if you want. This is where a note pad comes in handy. I use the troop send window and dont come out of it till I run out of heros for that city. I just go down the list of lvl 5 npcs that I farm with that city. I farm over 100 in less than 30-40 min this way. I list the nps for each city on 1 page. I now form over 100 cities 3 times a day. Yes, its about 45 min /round for 8 cities with 10-15 npcs/city. Most cities take 2 rounds of heros, because I have capped so many valleys. I use up all the heros 2x.
On the note pad I list the npcs by # order so that I have to do as little typing as possible. DONT MAKE A MISTAKE! I lost 400 TPs X 8 because I forgot to add the balistias. This is a little bit of work but the rewards are astronomical. its awesome to see that 3mil in food on the plunder report. Also I am getting about 1 michaelangelo script from the lvl 5 npc every day. So farming is a very wise way to get started into raiding.
From this point on your income will go up rapidly, if you work it. Dont build your citys too close together because they will compete with each other for the npcs. I think 4-8 miles apart in 2 to 3 nearby groups about 10 miles apart is a good start. 3 clusters of 3 -4 cities 10 miles or so apart. Mine are triangles.
Farming these npcs will get you Michael angelos. I already used 1 on my town hall. The next I put on the wall. It gave an extra 10k in building space. Thats 18% stronger. Thats a significant amount. Most people are forced to stay under 90k troops on the attack. I would rather have a lvl 10 wall than a lvl 10 hall. Another thing. I have a main storage city that I have extra troops in and I keep most of my surplus in it. It has lvl 10 walls. I am now 100s of hours backlogged in all my barracks in all my cities. I have about 10 barracks in each city. Do everything you can to use up all these resources so that you are building troops 24/7. As you get your defenses maxed and your resources are growing, you will need many 100ks of scouts. OPEN the gates when you get about 20k scouts, then it is difficult to get scouted, Some of my cities have over 100k scouts.
Filling up all the valleys near you also prevents someone from ninja citying next to you. It takes a lot longer between attacks, the further they are from you. This makes it harder to cap your cities. If you are being attacked, PUT YOUR HIGHEST ATTACK HERO as mayor!!
Phase 3 of raiding will be coordinating attacks with other players. Btw I have only intentionally built 1 city, the rest I have capped, or ninjaed. Good luck and happy hunting.
MOST IMPORTANT!!! DONT ATTACK OTHER PLAYERS without checking their stats and the stats of their alliance! If you are not sure you can wipe out the entire alliance without help ... DONT ATTACK!! or contact the resident warlord! He will tell you what you can do safely. This was ignored by a player called Vulgarwolf. His alliance no longer exists because of it! Other alliances will retaliate, and if you havent contacted me ...well you may feel the stupidity of working alone. We work together to win. We will protect you if you follow the rules and are very polite to the aggressors. We booted an individual that was very vulgar to someone attacking him. This is not acceptable behavior for a HERO. If he had followed the rules he would have inherited the cities of that aggressor.
