Cats on my non-SH village

I am awfully sick and been out of the game for about 2 days and i'm not sure i'll be able to log on more today, but i checked my account a few minutes ago found out they have been catapulting my first village. They didn't do much damage yet, only took a few levels of barracks, wich are being reconstructed right now. But i'd like to stop them anyway, as this village is a damn good resources provider for my SH villages. (Besides, i don't see why i would let them destroy it, good provider or not..)

So here is a copy-paste of the message i sent to rkw and VioletV a few minutes ago. If you can help, please say so, it'll be appreciated. My two sitters are Nashlebanon and Krayt.

just popping in a few minutes.

i see MNU have started to cata down my non-SH village. some coordinated help would be appreciated. for now they have just taken the barracks but i'd like to react before they do more.

granary can hold 45700
wall level is 17
and i have about 700 spears that i can send from my other 2 villages, but they take around 20 hours to travel.

i'll try to come back a bit later today to see how things go and if something can be done. until then, nashlebanon and krayt are still sitters.

thanks! "

no more incomings for now.

Where are the attacks coming from? How much warning is there?

no warning. they have been trying to farm for about 2 weeks but get practically nothing out of it. 2 players attacking for now, no message at all or anything.

here is the cats attack:

There is also Golias(link) who usually attacks with 650 Heduans and his hero.

i'm right in the middle of a nice MNU cluster so 3 of them can attack within 40 minutes of cats speed.

Last 5 hits I saw, were from 2 different people.

Ascher hit at 08:00:28 UTC on March 25th (Village 2, 280 druidriders)
Ascher hit at 19:01:28 UTC on March 25th (Village 1, 1200 axes)
Ascher hit at 22:10:01 UTC on March 25th (Village 2, 280 druidriders)
Ascher hit at 01:26:59 UTC on March 26th (Village 1, 197 axes, 8 rams, and 33 trebuchets)
Golias hit at 12:55:18 UTC on March 26th (650 Haeduan)

We can plan a defense against Ascher, say having our forces meet at 18:00:00 UTC. We would need to come up with both infantry killers and cavalry killers. We'll also need krayt and nash to observer for us since Tankgirl is sick. Goal would be to crush Ascher, and leave before Golias comes.

As it is 17:31:16 UTC March 26 of this post, I would say we meet on March 28th, 18:00:00 UTC. That will give us 48 hours to get there. I'll send out my praetorians again.

EDIT- MM went out to FUN to have defense in place.

cool thanks!

i will also be sending crop from my 9C to make sure the granary is full by that time. also, a new upgrade will be available in about half an hour fo rthe granary there. it will be able to contain a nit more in a few hours.

I won't be able to send troops since I am still rebuilding my army and I was scouted yesterday (attempted scouting I should say).

With 48 hours notice, should be able to get enough to kill 650 haeduans. Any spears or phalanx will take them down - they are so expensive that it's worth going for them. And if they are attacking with druids, they are asking to get creamed.

I'm 16 hours out but have 250 phalanx who could help out if needed, just let me know

Wont be in to send in my troops. >.<.. I have to send in 8hrs earlier, if not i wont have internet access at that time to send the troops. 423phalanx 70druids and 20haeudens. do you guys wan me to send them in early?

Can your sitter do it?

if your sitter can't don't bother. it would be stupid to feed their heroes with small bunches of troops srriving separately.

with what i will be sending, and from what i have spoken ingame with some people, there will be more than enough there.

lol 260 druids, now thats asking to be wiped

praets at your service
