Title: Another n00b question...IN or OUT of the Fortress? Post by: Wraith on March 15, 2008, 22:59:33 PM So I got owned this morning with over 3000 troops against about 10k. I'm thinking this was because for lvl 4 Fortress wasn't used. Of course it was left in ruins so I'm wondering if I would have faired better had I left my little dudes in their bunkers.
The question of course is this... Is it better to leave an army in the fortress when being attacked or try and confront them on the grounds? Title: Re: Another n00b question...IN or OUT of the Fortress? Post by: stud on March 15, 2008, 23:38:52 PM put archers inside the fort, and the rest outside

Post by: lionheart on April 14, 2008, 16:00:28 PM Sometimes you get a better result if you leave some of your cavalry or swords in the fort with your archers, if you can. This leaves a little reserve which can give a nasty shock and lower the enemy's morale even more, after it has dropped during the siege.
Experiment with the calculator to see what works best, but as stud says archers belong in the fort and not outside. Title: Re: Another n00b question...IN or OUT of the Fortress?
