The RAM Rumor

This info forwarded by Risk-Harm to me

I assume about everyone has seen the information that has been spread around the domains like some sort of virus on crack how rams will change the battle results when defending with ponies against a high range player.

Just wanted to clarify a couple of points to save some unnecessary troops loss time/wasted.

1. Rams have a base range of 600, this is a lot less than cats/balls/archers but considerably more range then the rest of the troops.

2. Rams come in after HC in the order that troops will be killed due to the fact they are "special" troops and not just ordinary siege.

So... what does adding rams to your LC/HC defence do when someone is attacking with siege/archers......... absolutely nothing! Please do not waste time training loads of rams to send as reins.

So...... where are they useful? Well sending 1 (yes that is correct, 1 only is needed to give exactly the same effect as if you sent 200k or more)to reinforce with your ponies will have the effect of setting range and stopping that pesky problem where a higher ranged person starts sending cav and killing off the pony reins 2:1.

Take home message...... 1 ram only is of use in reinforcing with ponies (it is preferable to sending 1 cat/ball/archer as these are killed off easily due to the order in which troops are killed, the ram will stick around until the ponies are dead.) Please do not send loads, if they do break the defence then they are just dying uselessly giving them glory and wasting days/weeks of training time for you.

Of course rams are slow assed things so in a lot of circumstances they won't make it in time to be of use anyway, but if there is time or you are close then it is a good thing to send a wave with the ram in it and rest HC.

Hope that helps clear up some myths that are bouncing about the domains.

A 1 INFO

life is better on defense.. life debuff on attack

it's usless to have a lot of speed when your troops are weak.. like a sick soldier in a wheelchair w 60m/hr speed lol


You want more on attack if the bonus is on attack and more defense when it's on defense like 70/30

ratio

i've seen an attack of 250k hc's w 1200 defense and 99 life.. wipe out 500k cav's, 300k HC's and thousands of ground troops and half of it still survived

if your attacking w hc's against reinf of horses and ground troops.. use defense and attack not combat speed

when attacking w archers.. attack with high range and accuracy is the key.. you want to make max kills on your free rounds.. then you're dead when they reach you

When using LC as home defense use defense, life, combat speed, attack debuff... in that order


life debuff affects your attacker only.. better to put your own life for hit points and it will only take effect when you hit them.. not when they're firing on you on free rounds

make your presets, one for defense, and one for for attack when not relying on range or CS.

When using swords and pikes use infantry boosts, defense, attack and again, accuracy is a vital key.

No, speed and range will not work on pikes and swords, they need to be strong and accurate.

My Own Refrences 2

The Goal is to reach these range units ASAP!!!

When being attacked by someone with +4500000% range :)~ Just turn OFF ALL your range, that means range buff AND range debuff. This will set the base range of the battle to the base range (+ Fletch and the 15% cap) to the unit with the highest range..

* 2040 for Archers
* 2380 for Balis
* 2550 for Cats

** Range Cap = You are limited to +15% over the person you are fighting.. if you have +30% and they have +150%, they will ONLY be allowed to use 15% over what you have, in this case 45% will be active for them.**

*** IMPORTANT:: If you keep your 30% range active, it allows them to use 45% range, with archers, that adds 540 distance to their range.. if you turn your range OFF, it will decrease their range by 360 distance. Lets look at the numbers real quick.
+30% Range OFF = 2040
+30% Range ON = 2400

This point is this... it will take longer for your LC and HC to reach the ranged units if you keep your range turned on.***

OK, now it's time for some numbers :) Don't worry, I'll "show my work" .. LOL

Base Range + 11 Fletch (is 55%) + 15% (range cap)
______________________________________________
Archers = 1200 x .55% = 660 (+ base range of 1200) 1860
Base of 1200 x 15% (range cap) = 180
1860 + 180 = 2040

Balis = 1400 x .55% = 770 (+ base range of 1400) = 2170
Base of 1400 x 15% (range cap) = 210
2170 + 210 = 2380

Cats = 1500 x .55% = 825 (+ base range of 1500) = 2325
Base of 1500 x 15% (range cap) = 225
2325 + 225 = 2550

With all the numbers ran; base range + 11 Fletch and 15% range cap, here are the results:
Archers = 2040
Bals = 2380
Cats = 2550


COMBAT SPEED
From my understanding, I don't think you can reach the range units in the first round (hopefully I'm wrong, someone who knows for sure please let me know)... I think battle goes like this:
Round 1:
Attackers (Cats) get into range and fire on the LC
Defenders (LC) responds to attack
Round 2:
Attackers (Cats) Fire in LC again
Defenders (LC) have reached Cats and kill them all

DEFENSIVE UNITS
Calvary = 1000 x .55% = 1500 (Base Speed, + 11 Alloy Horseshoes)

Now Lets add Combat Speed to the equation:
+20% = 1800 (speed or distance per round)
+30% = 1950
+40% = 2100 (reach Archers in 2nd round)
+50% = 2250
+60% = 2400 (reach Balis in 2nd round)
+70% = 2550 (reach Cats in 2nd round)
+80% = 2700
+90% = 2850
+100% = 3000

HC = 750 x .55% = 1162 (Base Speed, + 11 Alloy Horseshoes)

+20% = 1394 (speed or distance per round)
+30% = 1510
+40% = 1626
+50% = 1742
+60% = 1858
+70% = 1974
+80% = 2090 (reach Archers in 2nd round)
+90% = 2206
+100% = 2324
+110% = 2440 (reach Balis in 2nd round)
+120% = 2556 (reach Cats in 2nd round)
+130% = 2672
+140% = 2788
+150% = 2904

Conclusion:
1. Turn off all range
2. Find Combat Speed items for your TR, and Upgrade them!
3. Adding +Life will allow your troops to get hit more without dying
4. Adding -Attack will make their attacks weaker and allow your LC to get there while taking less damage
OR
5. Adding -Life will make it easier for your LC to kill their range
6. Adding +Attack will give your horses more power and cause more damage
OR
7. Do something else..
