 Topic: Seige Techniques
Posted: 29 Oct 2012 at 21:07 |
|
Since we have this major war happening, i would like to start a subject dicussing different seige techniques so when others enter into the fray they have an understanding of different tactics and how to perform the best strategy for each situation. Maybe we can get both the giver and the reciever to give their opinions.....

1) Click on Map 2) Send army. 3) Post all tactics publicly and give up any advantage you might have from your hard work and experimentation.

Reciever Tactic #1: Kill all camps around your town, camps with siege weapons preferably first

Gameplayer, there really isn't much tactic in Sieging.
If you plan a siege, you'd have to do much planning about having defensive armies arriving around the same time as the actuall siege engines.
For defense, it's more like: How to get as much attacks as possible on that camp in the shortest time, while leaving enough armies behind for another siege.
To my knowledge, that's pretty much the end of the story...

actually there is alot of strategy to siege, let me come up with a few variables, time, distance, siege feint, support troops, amount of siege to send compare to size of castle.....i am always shocked that messengers are not used more....also why raid is not used more to attack camps.....interesting siege units not used more in attack....ways smaller accounts can help support or break siege....ways a smaller account can harm a larger account....i am always amazed how a smaller account can damage a larger account...often a larger account will pull when the base siege castle is under threat...we should share this information, personally i believe it would bring more equal war play in the game and add alot more strategy when the aggressive big boys can be threaten by smaller accounts....feel free to respond and i will be happy to add my knowledge of what amazing tools the devs have in the war phase part of the game

Here's a suggestion: find out all the players who might try to break any siege you want to make and what troops they can bring to bear in any given length of time. Estimate probabilities for all of these armies. Put together a distribution of likelihood against attack strength, and figure out the best balance between the forces you send and their chance of bringing the siege through to completion.
Or if that sounds too hard, just hope for dumb luck.
