How many troops should I send out farming?

Villages with <300 Points:
50 Spear men and 25 Axe men and 2 scouts.

Villages with 301-1000 Points:
125 light Cavs and 2 scouts.

Villages with 1001-2999 Points:
250 Light Cavs and 2 scouts.

Villages with 3000+ Points:
500 Light Cavs and 2 scouts.


Remember to send out a scout attack first to see if the villages has any troops in it, if not proceed to farm.
Always send scouts to attack with the farming troops to see if there is any resources left.

How to kill off good players and tribes

A Tactic that i know  of that would damage good tribes and players, by destroying their farms (Barbarian villages) by catapulting the  villages warehouse to level 1,this would be a handy technique if there is a nasty player you want to get rid off. Over time his/her Village will slow down because of the lack of the resources he/she is getting, and in no time you will overtake him/her with troop numbers and points.

*Warning*

Do not use this tactic if you intend to take over his/hers base. Because you will have nothing to farm that will give good hauls.

How can I Mass farm Villages?

You can mass farm villages in many ways. One of the most easiest ways to do so it by purchasing a Premium account. Premium account unlocks "Attack again with same troops" On a report. This allows you to attack the village again without having to go to the rally point, typing in the Co-ordinates and then the troop numbers. Instead it puts you to the page where you have to click "OK" to send off the attack. Very handy if you intend to mass farm lots of villages. Right click on the "Attack again with same troops" and then bookmark it in a separate folder. Do this to all the farms you want to farm as long as you have sent out the attack, and have got the report back. Once you have bookmarked them all, go into your bookmark folder, and click "Open bookmarks in new tabs". Presto! you now have all the villages you want to farm on the screen, all you have to do now it click "OK" and send off the attack. Easy as pie.

What is a good Offensive and Defensive army?

A good Offensive army should consist of 7000 Axemen, and 3000 Light cavalry followed by 300 Rams. A good defensive army should consist of 6000 spears, 8000 swords and 250 Heavy Cavalry (optional).

Technologies

Some worlds like World 16 have technologies. Technologies are improvements to your units military attributes. For example if you have a level one Heavy Cavalry unit (a), and level 2 Heavy cavalry (b), unit b would be better equipped for battle because the unit has been improved. You have to research the technologies in your smithy to be able to use them to your advantage.

For worlds with technologies:
For a Defensive village you should have Swords, Spears, Scouts and Heavy cavalry researched to level three.
For a Offensive village you should have Axe, Light cavalry and Rams all level three.
