Glad I could help!

You're welcome!

Epic Hunters are mercs and should be treated the same as any other merc. EH have a 1000% bonus but Grif 3 is 888% and Corax 1 are 1333%. EH get hit earlier than their health calculation indicates. If you only have Grif 2/3 EH should die last. If you have Corax 1/2 those should die last and EH earlier. You want the troops with lowest Strength bonus to die first and highest bonus to die last. So do a hit. Look at your log on the order of deaths and make adjustments. Just as shown in the video. Never max out any stack unless the max you can afford to send is lower than your logs show. Sometimes I'm low on Dragon Coins and can't send the monster numbers required. So I make do with what I can send. But always send some stacks of everything you can afford to send.

What do you mean? All of my armies have monsters in them.

@@tbguideinfo désolé je ne comprends pas l'anglais et là ça traduit pas

Que veux-tu dire? Toutes mes armées contiennent des monstres.

This option will show up if you actually have reinforcements in your city. You will also need a "Consulate" in your city to be able to receive reinforcements. The "Use Reinforcements" option should be on the attack menu, where you choose your army. It will only show up when attacking certain monsters or when attacking an enemy city.

Welcome!

I'll make a video about this eventually. Both parties can be shielded. Both parties target the same Citadel. The city giving speeds up and kills the Citadel first. Then places a portal at the exact same location. If the timing is right the attacker can hit the portal and pick up silver / ingots before the givers armies get home.

Thanks for watching. I have a few more in the pipeline. But watch in Global Chat I'm going to start collecting the best tip for new or small players.

Thanks for the encouragement

Thanks for watching and the encouragement.

Hey thanks. Doomsday is still around as well. We're in the same clan still.

Odo and I are still in a clan together, too :)

What clan and K?

I"m glad vVv is still giong. It was as good and exciting time when I joined SBD. The battles just before and after K76 opened were the craziest I've seen since then.

Never went back. But I have some names saved somewhere in case I run into them again. I am quite content for now here in BAD K88.

We are literally talking about sending the maximum amount of troops you can. But in an efficient manner. Your strongest troops have the highest strength bonuses and do the most damage. You want your weakest troops to die first allowing your strongest troops to get in multiple hits. I want to spend very little on this game. That means I have to play it in the most efficient way possible. And that is what stacking is about. Earning the most VP/CP in the most efficient way possible. You can always hit "Select All" and then "Send". No problem at all, if that is what you want to do.

I did that at the start. And it is a good place to start. Once you get a feel for it, just looking at the combat log and making quick adjustments is fast enough for most people. - you will have to account for health bonus of every different troop type - some monster aggression simply does not go according to health and you will have to adjust manually.

I spend Canadian $. $5.99 every week or so for premium. Premium for equipment sets. I switch for every thing I do. Food for armies, crypting, building, research. First few years just bought premium Last year or so since I got into big clans I spend $25 every season for Golden Pass. About $600 to get Hercules. Never doing seasonal kingdom again no matter what. $20x 6 silver cities. But now I dont need the silver cities. So many chests in big clan. Thousands every day. Don't need to get potions, gold, tar, or silver. Only thing I ever run out of is purple tar. Could buy with gold but more comes every hour.

So 2 years just premium. And now the year or so premium plus golden pass. I think after I got to about 300M might.

Basic: Each level has 1.8x health of lower level. T6 have 1.8x health of T5 for same type. G6 health is 1.8x G5 health. So if you do 2x the lower level you're usually pretty good. ex. 1000 G6 Archers 2000 G5 Archers 4000 G4 Archers Pro: There are some exceptions like Epic Monster Hunters but monsters attack according to priority target and then health. If they say they have a bonus to flying they will attack flying first. Then amount of health if there are 2 stacks of flying. Health has to be a LOT higher for them to ignore priority target. ex. 1000 melee and only 1 flying. This is why you don't send just 1 type of troop. You send as many stacks of as many different types of troops you can. Elite: Take your percent health bonus into account. You might have 500% to melee and archers but 1000% to flyers. Then you have do the normal calculation and then half the number of flyers. Basic numbers 100 flyers +1000% health 200 melee +500% health 200 archers + 500% health After taking that into account 50 flyers 200 melee 200 archers I used to do a spreadsheet to save every single potions and gold. But for most people rough adjustments are enough. As the video shows you can get pretty close even you use the first 3-4 attacks to make adjustments.

@@tbguideinfo Easier to understand with that much troops, but i had (and sent them all) 200 Catapult I 1000 Swordmen I 1000 Spearmen II 500 Riders II 200 Archers II 57 Mercs V Monster hit the Spearmen II dead immediately so result was poor (mercs got me something) My dilemma is to get the monsters to attack those cheaper swordmen first, to get the Spearmen II to have a swing! Thanks!

Keep Aydea 2x 3x or even 4x your hero level. Just don't level your hero until you absolutely have to to do research. Even then make sure your Aydea is a min 2x or 3x Hero level. All of my advice works only if you are in a clan that is working together and crypting daily to burn all the tar they get. Until you have T4, Epics are only going to be useful if you can afford to do a lot of hits. Means resurrect potions or gold. There are a lot of different factors here. You can do Epics before T4 but all you do is send one large stack of archers. 50% of the time they will die first without doing any damage. 50% of the time they will hit first and earn a lot of VP. Until you have T4 and you can do proper 2-3 layers. . ... hit monsters in the world during Ruthless Slaughter. One large stack of archers, the max Aydae can carry. Find monsters that don't have any bonus against archers. That have melee and/or flying monster stacks. The monster level you want is that when your archers hit first they can kill an entire stack. And if they hit second they still have enough left over to kill the 2 stacks of monsters even after taking the 2 hits. During Ruthless Slaughter it's silver revive.

@@tbguideinfo Hey thanks for the video. Would you use one large stack of your cheapest archers or expensive archers if you do not have tier 4 troops?

​@@DeanChurchSorry I somehow missed this comment. For single stack use the strongest troops. They only get 1 shot so you want to maximize your damage. Plus the resurrect cost is the same for all troop levels of the same kind. I wouldn't do layers until T4. And only do 3 layers when you get to T5.

If you are able to spend a bit of money you can get to lvl 19 on all buildings very quickly in your town. I might make a video about that in the future. But you either spend money to get ahead or you spend a lot of time. For time spent burn every single little bit of tar you make. Use ONLY Carter so he gets all the XP from crypting. You have to get into a clan that pushes crypting for every single player. Right now Ancients feeds crypting feeds ancients. That is the most efficient cycle right now. Every player in the clan should be burning ALL the tar they get. Also hitting Citadels. Even the lowest level player can hit Level 10 Citadels during Ruthless Slaughter so they use only silver to resurrect. When you do that. Go straight for Gaurds level 6. Then max out Archeology then Blacksmithing then Logistics then Economy. Sit on a 90% food tile. All farms except 1 mansion. Get your silver from mining level 25's multiple times per day. Get all the RSS you need from all the crypting that the clan is doing. It's a cycle one activity feeds the next in the cycle.

@@tbguideinfo i was adviced my a clan member that 8 farms and 13 mantions was the way to go. also got the tip that crypts wasnt really worth it early, but we do have a minimum of 5 crypts a day in the clan. we are roughlt 50 people. but is this the way to rely on your silver income? figured since you dont recommend any mantions for silver.

Max farms lets you prepare armies in advance. Ancient Epics. Use potions & gold ONLY on mercs and monsters. Delete silver troops and build more. Killing Ancients should give you enough silver for next round. 50 people max crypting should give you all the RSS and silver you need. Level 25 crypts will start giving gold as well.

That is correct. Nothing more efficient than Ancients right.now. And the bigger army you can prepare in advance the better. You can make use of maximum help clicks.

@@tbguideinfo what do you mean with ancients feeds crypting? you get shitloads of tar from doing ancients or what? so to summerize: 1 get all buildings to level 19 ( i guess that would make me independant?) 2. spam crypts with carter ( i can do lvl 10 atm) 3 build only farms with 1 mansion ( to get the largest army possible) 4 do ancients and get you troops back with silver 5 collect silver from villages ( can get 800k in 15 hours atm) to fund the army 6 do citadels during the ancient event for the same reason stated before ( revive troops for silver) 7 get guardsmen to level 6 ( i got the mounted riders left on level 3) 8 max out Archeology then Blacksmithing then Logistics then Economy (in that order(?) ) 9 sit on a 90% food tile ( check ). thats it? you get enough valor, exp and silver from doing this? am i missing something? :)

Yes the name is from India history. But I'm in Canada west coast near Vancouver.

Thank you. Who hits first is 50% chance. But sometimes monster might hit you first 10 or 20 times in a row. You might hit monster first 10 or 20 times in a row. But over thousands of hits it should be 50/50 chance. There are calculations you can do for Citadels, Normal and Rare monsters. Where one of your troops hits before monster has a chance to hit you back. Happens on 2nd or 3rd hit. But it takes too much effort to figure out which troops combinations work. I only do it for Citadel troop combinations. Out of 5 monster stacks only 4 will ever hit your troops. So 50% if you hit first only 3 monster stacks attack. Other 50% if monster hits first only 4 stacks will get to attack you. It takes a lot of calculation and some experimentation but once you have the numbers it always works.

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks. Let me know if you have more ideas for videos.

Thanks for watching! Let me know if there are better ways of doing something and I will test it out.
