Defense guide, aka Kamalot's 11 rule to defend yourself from mass incoming attacks. Follow the rule when you have mass incoming & mass noble trains. Follow
these rules, starting with rule #1 to prioritize yourself to decide what to do
when you are under attack. The first rule is more important than the 2nd one,
and the 2nd more than the 3rd and so on.
Rule #1 - Incoming Ram Speed or Scout Speed
Never let them scout you. Attacks at scout speed, you need to stack with as
many scouts as possible while still being able to defend all of the villages.
Attacks at greater than scout speed and less than noble speed, you need to
defend with as many scouts as you can afford to let die, and a few swords, 100
or so.
If you do not have many troops "based" in that village (that were built
there), or if the village is relatively new, it is okay to let them scout you in
this situation. It will be obvious that you will not have many troops from there
so letting them scout it will not reveal any "new" information.
All of the other rules are for noble speed attacks only.
Rule #2 - Incoming Nobles: Villages that house 1 or more Nobles
If you have an incoming on a village that houses nobles, you must defend that
village at all cost. Especially if you use trains. When you have a large number
of villages, 4 nobles will cost you more resources than losing a couple of
defensive villages defending it, defending it with 4 defensive villages.
Because of this rule, this is why it is ever so more important to house nobles
in as few villages as possible, while still maximizing offensive power in your
trains. 2-4 nobles is ideal to have been built for each of these types of villages.
Rule #3 - Incoming Nobles: Villages that house Churches
Well, this rule only really applies if there is another village in the church
radius that is under attack.
Rule #4 - Incoming Nobles: Try to Snipe
If the incoming noble train is snipe-able, then you must first try this. You can
either set up a "support train" from a nearby defensive village and
send support at the village, like you would a noble train, only split up your
defensive units into 5 or 7 groups. Send them all at ram speed, cancel the ones
that miss, then send them all at Heavy Cavalry (HC) speed, then scout speed, then sword, then
spear. Note - This is good only if the incoming noble train is from the same
village. If it is multiple villages it is likely that it is multiple nukes. Do
not trust a sitter with this. If you are unable to be online to perform this
action, move on with these rules and do not trust someone to do it as a sitter.
You can try, but do not count on it working at all. Plan ahead instead.
Rule #5 - Incoming Nobles: The Pre and Re Noble
If your village has inc nobles and several nukes proceeding it AND that village
has only like half a nuke in it or a couple thousand defensive troops, or if
those nobles are from different villages then it is likely they are several
nukes with the nobles so it will be better to not defend it and you will not be
able to snipe. Instead, you should dump the nuke you have on a village before
the noble lands, or try to let those defensive troops die somewhere else, or
try to snipe anyway with those defensive troops. Once you have done this, then
you need to land 3 nobles before the noble train lands, preferably 4 at the
right time such that the loyalty is below 20 before the attacking players 4
nobles land. If you do this, you should destroy 4 nobles 1 or more nukes at the
cost of half a nuke + 1 noble, or half a defensive village + 1 noble, or
whatever you have stationed in that village.
Rule #6 - Incoming Nobles: Already Supported Villages
If the village already has support, it is likely that the player who sent them
has already counted on losing these troops. You should defend these villages
first. Look around and see if you will be able to stack enough troops to
defend these. A good rule of thumb is to defend the villages with at least 4
full defensive villages. If you do not have enough support OR the smithy levels
of spear/sword/archer/hc are too low, ie - less than 9 or 10. Then you will
need to contact the owner of the support and ask if he can recall the troops(at
different speeds for his own benefit) and re-send some more support to another
village(which you will determine farther down this list), if it can be done in
time. If you can not juggle the support around to a different village then you
should either send the support home and try to snipe with whatever defensive troops you
have built there and hope for the best or send the troops home and try to snipe
and hope for the best.
Rule #7 - Incoming Nobles: Smithy Levels: Spear/Sword/Archer/HC = Max Level,
Wall = 20
These villages are the more profitable to support and defend. Ideally it is
best if these villages do not have nukes proceeding the noble train. Stack
these villages with 4 defensive villages. If you play on a server where there is no tech system, just skip this rule.
Rule #8 - Incoming Nobles: Villages housing full Defensive troops
If you are unable to use these defensive troops to snipe other noble trains
that are incoming to them, use it to snipe the noble train coming to this one.
If not, then you must try to stack this village. Once again, it is worth 4 full defensive villages. If you are unable, either send this support somewhere where it can die
before the noble train lands, or leave it home and hope for the best.
Rule #9 - Incoming Nobles: Villages housing full nukes
Stack these villages if possible. If you are unable to stack this then use this
nuke where you can before the noble train lands.
Rule #10 - Incoming Nobles: Villages with incoming nobles that have the nobles
land well after other villages that have incoming nobles.
These villages you must defend last. Sometimes you will be able to defend 2 or
more villages with the same defensive troops simply by juggling the support
arround to different villages.
Rule #11 - Incoming Nobles: Too bad, you lose this one.
Build as many D troops as possible in that village, utilizing the barracks,
stables, and workshop and try to snipe or hope for the best. There is nothing
else that can be done here.
