Noblemen

Wave attacks are the tactic with noblemen.

1. Never more than 1 nobleman in the same wave (when used together – they don’t add up). So put each nobleman in his own wave.

2. Always send troops with the noblemen, to keep the nobleman alive or you will suffer a great loss.

3. Never/avoid sending your attacking troops with a nobleman – he will die if 50% of the attacking force is destroyed. Clear the village of all resistance first, then start the noble and his escort off, always just behind (by seconds if possible) a wave of attacking troops in case of any support/rebuild at the target.

4. Destroying the rally point with a wave of catapults (and their support) will prevent him recalling any of his troops that are supporting other villages. (Of course if he can get in touch with them, they can release those supporting troops from their end.)

5. Using waves of catapults is another tactic that’s handy, as each force/wave can only target 1 building – so several waves of catapults can damage/destroy several different buildings.

Building Noblemen

Each village can produce 3 noblemen maximum on its own, but if you have an acadamy in your second village you could build three (As one would of been used up on taking that village) So an acadamy maxes at level 3

But after that everything with noblemen is cumulative – it adds up.

Your first nobleman costs: 28k/30k/25k; your 2nd is twice that; your 3rd, 3 time... and where you build them will make NO difference to the cost.

You can store resources for building noblemen in your academy/ies. But be careful once resources have been sent to an academy, they can’t be withdrawn. The minimum you can transfer into an academy is ‘1 instalment’ - 28k/30k/25k

Finally each nobleman requires another level of academy. These add up too. Your first requires just the one level, simple. Your 2nd requires 2 levels – anywhere. So, if you have 2 level 1 academies in 2 villages, you can build a 2nd nobleman; 3 level 1 academies in 3 villages - a 3rd nobleman, or a level 2 in one village and a level 1 in the another... it all adds up. And you choose where you build the next nobleman by making sure that there are enough resources stored in that academy.

So demolishing any academy is a mistake. All it will do is reduce the number of nobleman you can support.

Defending Your New Village

Make sure you can keep the village because it will have low loyalty for 3 days.

100-25 = 75

Your newly acquired village gets 25 loyalty;
1 loyalty is regained per hour;
So 75 hours = 3 days 3 hours

Check the village overview of your new village to see your loyalty on the right side.

It’s best village to take over villages that are over 1k in points. But for where some people are maybe a small village is okay. Though you can just use the tiny villages for farms - every resource helps.

Remember that when you take over a village your morale will drop – as your total points takes a leap upwards.
