i would negotiate, but it would take about 6 days so i can trade with the merchants since nobody in my group is trading jewelery

I have a question: what's the best setup against 2 soldiers and 6 ballistas? As of now I can make 8 soldiers, 8 archers and 2 ballistas.

8 archers will beat anything til LMA units. enemy range units will always attack your range units first, and you want to get to the ballistas ASAP. you could possibly use those 2 ballista and a couple archers to take out the soldiers real quick then have all go straight for ballista. either way, youre going to lose a couple archers. i eventually took them out with 8 spears with only 1 spear left, took many tries but figured it out

Went in with 6 archers and 2 ballistas, by the end of the first round, I lost an archer and a ballista; 2nd round was worse, and they took 3 archers. I can't get near them without losing too many units on the first 2 rounds :(

More ideas anyone? The enemy have 2 soldiers and 6 ballistas.

im not sure how you lost that many so quick...i dont know how else to do it cause i did it with spears lol try those 8 soldiers. they have better defense for those ballistas and they also move farther. if i could do it with spears, it should be easy with soldiers

Everyone has their own strategies to beat ballistas, after all.

Does anyone have a magic combination to fight vs 2 knights and 6 heavy infantry? I'm not convinced 8 archers can take those with their big 0-2 dmg per hit on heavy infantry...

Nvm, 6 archers and 2 mercs did the job, 2 archers survived.

I took out 6 ballistas + 2 soldiers with 4 soldiers and 4 spearmen. Kept 5 of my 8 troops, some damaged, some not. Ballistas suck against melee units.

I was stuck on the area with 5 ballistas and two soldiers.....after reading this thread I took 8 spear men into battle and first attempt defeated the area with 2 full strength and one injured spear men left
Key is stated above...stick to the trees....it will take many ballista to take out one spear man
