| There's been talks on the official forums about plundering barbarian cities using only ballistas and transporters, with no losses at all. I decided to give it a try, and so far I've found that my 139 ballistas can take out a L3 barbarian city with no losses at all. I figured I'll get some more before I try my luck with any higher lvl. Anyway, there's talks about plundering up to L8 barbarian cities with no losses, and considering the amount of resources, XP and potential for medals, I'm upgrading my barracks to L9 to get this going fast. http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=10950Summary from the article at the main forum: Level 1: 10 Ballista (archery 7) Level 2: 36 Ballista (archery 7) Level 3: 150 Ballista (archery 6) Level 4: 200 Ballista (archery 6) Level 5: 400 Ballista Level 6: 600 Ballista (archery 10) Level 7: 1100 Ballista Level 8: 2450 Ballista Level 9: 12.5k Ballista Level 10: 25k Ballista Note: since the patch 6/1/09 this is no longer possible course of the new game mechanics. Read more about it here. Alltho, NPC cities that doesnt have rockfall and few arch towers are still possible to farm with out losses; you just need to send more ballistas to succeed. | |

| Nice tip - I sent 350 ballistas & 300 transports to plunder a lvl 4 barbarian city = no losses & plenty of resources.
Wonder what will work with lvl 6 now...??? | |

| That's amazingly useful!!! Had noticed that ballistas never took any damage. Will let you know about the lvl 6 when I've blatted the one next to me! | |

Oops... was a bit rash and tried to do the lvl 6 town with 425 ballistas... got completely wiped out! Maybe a thousand would do it?!?! | |

| Depends on your tech I guess, seems like some people are able to farm L6 with around 600 ballistas. Unfortunately for me my travel time to hit anything but L1-3 or L7-8 is too much, so I'll simply build until I know I can take on the L8. | |

| 388 ballista vs L5 barbarian=huge success battle2.evony.com/default.html?logfile/2e/76/9c/9f/2e769c9f2e3052b8c26bb5887293fe34.xml
However, this is with L10 research, so if you're below it you might want to try some additional ballistas. | |

| 997 ballista vs L7 barbarian city=Success
battle2.evony.com/default.html?logfile/bf/1a/c6/12/bf1ac6128a2715b9589b5a1f7476db45.xml
Should have brought more transports, but I kinda chickened out.
Keep in mind this worked for me with a 139 attack hero and most research at L10, you might need more ballista if you cant match that. | |

| L8 farmed, 3.9k ballistas. I'll try to start running that number downwards to get a better sense of what is really needed. battle2.evony.com/default.html?logfile/4c/9b/0c/89/4c9b0c8926e73cd702620dcc50397c63.xml | |

| Heros play a big part of this. Ideally their attack should be over 90. | |

| I can confirm that 2400 ballistas with maxed out sci works fine on L8 barbs. | |

| Rockfall now hurts ballistas, this doesn't work anymore. I feel sorry for the players around me though | |

I feel sorry for the players around me though So do I... Also feel sorry for myself, attacked a lvl 8 NPC with everything I had... pushed them had but I lost everyone (well not everyone thanks to the joy of the Medic Camp, but needless to say I won't be trying that again for a while...) If anyone knows what is needed to take a lvl 8 NPC, let me know! | |
