We don't have a hammer that can crush that defense without serious losses, so I guess you guys will have to coordinate defense against him...

the_killjill · the_killjill on Sat Jan 31, 2009 10:39 am

It would be nice to know who he is hitting to so we all have an idea of who to defend. Id be more then happy to give some spears for his TT's to run up against.

A good strat to keep him bottled up though is scouting him, if he gets scouted every day he will hopefully build defensive troops and so stop his raiding of us

If it is a multi-account, we should not be fighting it at all. Even if we succeed in deleting it, it will pop-up somewhere else.. Has anyone reported to the Admin/MultiHunter on this here??.

If we go for offense, the first wave should roughly have 200+ E.Caesaris and some X Rams to wipe out most of the troops, walls, and traps. We can achieve this easily within a week, by boosting any One of us on a daily basis.

30 boosting members * 7 days * 1 horse-resource/day = 210 horses end of week
-same goes for X Rams-

Of course there are other expenses involved (like for Catas and secondary waves) which each member has to work on individually..

Will this work out?

I agree with killjill. He is too far and our offensive powers are too small for an attack yet. He hasn't settled a second village (and with level 3 residence is some way off from doing so) and is smaller in size than many of our players (but big enough that with that Roman reinforcement he would be a real pain to take out). I think at this stage, it would be much better than those who are being raided build crannies and walls and trappers (though no traps until you're ready to spring) and get ready for co-ordinated defensive operations. If he is a Gaul, then his raiding TTs are *expensive* and can easily be taken out by some well-timed and placed phalanx and/or spears and/or legs, which are all *cheap*. You can do *much* more damage that way. Even if this is not taking him out, it is slowing him down, and making him think twice before raiding a FUN village, which are great and easily achieved objectives at this stage. The key is team work. Don't have 5 spears taking a stand here and 8 phalanx there, but to co-ordinate in one place on one day and in another place on another day. You will also need scouts to stop him scouting ahead once he realises that you are co-ordinating.

How large are his attacks?

Defensive operations have been done already, it doesn't slow him down in the least. He is a pain in the ass. Most attacks are 3-10 TT's.

Who is it thats being attacked alot and ill drop 30 spears in each to piss him off

I observed the situation and him from lots of angles and this is what we can do. We can continue to defend ourselves until we get some serious numbers and pwn his ass. 1 Village can supply 3000 crop / hour max. So we can w8. We can , and should defend ourselves against his attacks so we prevent him from growing. We can reinforce one of the non-allied villages around him so he gets burned. I say we w8 until we gather troops. If he builds a new village we must catapult it asap. Won't be hard to do it since it will have no wall,reisdence or granary.

I agree with Cursez and with killjill. 3-10 TTs is how I raid and it is surprisingly easy to stop. 10 phalanx or spears or legs will hurt him far more than he hurts you. 20 is better. 30 is great (esp if they are spears). No one ought to leave their village with less than this (if people need some temporary cover while they build this up, I can help). Don't be a farm and make it hurt to try. He will quickly get the point.

The key thing to remember against TTs is that although they are fast, they are expensive compared to other units (esp phalanx, spears and legs). Kill a few and he will feel it.

BGS · BGS on Sat Jan 31, 2009 11:46 pm

Oh, and a scout or two in the village is a must as well. Otherwise, he will see you there and save his TTs. If he sends a bunch of swords, then dodge (or if you have praets, all the better!).

It's amazing how annoying to a Gaul raider someone who knows a few basics is.

It's also amazing how few people know these basics.

Members being attacked from FUN are Bomtastic and Hellhung. Moody went inactive (defeated?) and BigMove has been banned.

Guest on Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:12 am

I believe there's no shortage of Gauls looking for real estate to park their Phalanx. I for one am willing to send Phalanx to any village you guys need.

BGS · BGS on Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:30 pm

As am I. Just send the requests. No one should be being farmed by TTs.

Dootzkie · Dootzkie on Sun Feb 01, 2009 8:58 pm

I already defended Do Not Panic and i killed over 30 of his TTs and about 50 Swords, but the problem is hos existence and a constant threat to smaller FUN members around him.

Its like having a tumor that you contained, but you never know when is it going to start 'working'

BGS · BGS on Sun Feb 01, 2009 10:13 pm

Well done! The more often you hit his TTs the more careful he will be about raiding and the slower he will grow.

I agree that something probably needs to be done about him, but if we're not yet ready for a major attack, then co-ordinated defence is still highly worthwhile and will still hurt him significantly.

Guest on Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:53 am

Perhaps we need to start having garrisons, a minimal amount of defensive units in each village?
