Not one of the really active guilds ... but getting there (only recently in the Top 10) .

Please visit towns of those players. I really wonder how many HoFs they have to get so much prestige to be top 3 guild with just 2 members

LOL that's 62 members only 2 days top guild

 

[DeletedUser112538]

But at first I though only 2?? but then there was 0 underneath Ghosts in the guild (not shell)

 

[Emberguard]

lol 0 members would be a really big achievement for it to be up there in the guilds. Mainly because it's impossible

It's a shame Alcatraz can't be instructed to produce Rogues Only.
I'm doing a bit of Iron Age GvG where units take 1:30 Hrs to train ... Alcatraz takes 23 hours for the same unit.

I built 10 IA military buildings (unlocking the diamond unit in each) ... conceivably producing 100 units per day but Alcatraz @ level 22 produces 20 units (with only about 2 rogues). If you battle with 1 Original + 7 Rogues and lose 1 or 2 rogues per battle ... you're not having a great day of it.

I guess you have to use fewer rogues ... even if the overall losses increase.

Clearly, Alcatraz is more cost-effective at higher ages, where units take much longer to train.

I think yes, use less rogues as your troops are way cheaper, also you can expend troops but not rogues in this case. Say 4+4 and do make sure your normal troops get hit first, at least once rogues convert.

Good morning!

 

[AussieAlex]

Good morning!

And to you. How’s your day starting out?

 

[DeletedUser]

Not bad. I did most of my daily challenge before breakfast.

With so few members in GvG ... we may have to use auto-battle to take a sector quickly (before the enemy come online) .

So many ballistas - maybe they are inefficient in fact? Maybe go for 8*archers or 8*soldiers?

I want to do GvG some time.

Looks like I'm going to be stuck at level 6 too. I should have one more try then I'll have spent all my florins.

I have only just started on Beta, but it looked to me that it would be very difficult to get to level 7.

It does seem to need either a lot of luck or a lot of diamonds.

Come join us in Modus! We're #2 on EN11 and #3 just declared GvG war on us on 5 maps! It's going to be a long and drawn out war of attrition!

Probably both!

I thought about that, but if you only accept people in CA and above, even if I was accepted, would I have any chance to participate? Do you do GvG in HMA or LMA?

We have sectors on all maps although action on the lower Ages is infrequent; primarily due to having players of higher Eras who whilst they can conquer sectors then struggle to fill DAs. If you're generating the required Goods (Obs/Atom/Arc/donations) and have troops to fill DAs then almost anything can be accommodated. We have both Obs and Arc building programmes in the guild that help with the goods generation side.
Alternatively, we have a slightly junior sister guild, "Orbis Non Sufficit" who are ranked #7 which we've used as a training ground for potential members; I spend several months there myself on the journey to joining Modus. If that currently looks more appealing then drop Lionwen or Ronin a PM and mention my name.
We can also help out with those AO goods!

I noticed that 8 Balistas were the worst opponents ... causing the most damage (mostly 2 or 3 units lost).
I should think that Archers are very popular because the Archery is 3-times smaller than the Ballista camp (2x2 vs 3x4).

Ballistas are going to do serious damage to Archers.
Every combination can be beaten ... but how much damage can you inflict and how much can you slow them down
(esp if they're forced to battle manually).

I've seen very successful IA attackers use both 8 Archers and 4 Archers + 4 Ballista.
Unless facing 8 fast units of course!
