Capital Attack

In a capital attack strategy, only a handful of players are selected to participate. It can be as few as one player to as many as you wish, but the main requirement is a large offensive army with a decent number of catas (at least 400).

Due to the large number of catas required, this can be used only from mid game onwards.

Each player will send 4 or 5 waves of cata attacks to the capitals of at least seven players (ie one real, six fakes). The real attack should have at least 100 catas in each wave, all targeting the croplands. The maximum possible damage is ten croplands destroyed (5 waves x 2 croplands).

High level croplands are very expensive, and another reason why it would be feasible only from mid game onwards is because in the early game, players do not have croplands above level 15.

It is important for all the four (or five) attack waves to land on the same second, otherwise the enemy will just snipe your attacks. Even the fake attacks must land on the same second or it is easy to spot the real attacks.

So if you don’t get your attack sent off correctly, you need to cancel them and resend, until all four waves land on the same second. This is troublesome, but necessary.

The capital attack strategy can be quite risky and you may lose your hammer, especially if you attack top players. I managed to kill many enemy hammers who attacked my capital – which was how I ended in the top defender ranks of the server. I also witnessed many large hammers wiped out because they attacked the capitals of top players.

This strategy is best used against medium players. Fake the top players, and attack the medium players. Although there is still a risk, but it gives you more mileage and on average, you will destroy many, many capitals before your hammer is finally wiped out.

Faking needs to be done too, and other alliance members can be asked to send random fakes.

In summary, the Capital Attack strategy involves :-

1. Select only a handful of players to participate. They must have large hammers with catas.
2. Assign each of them to attack one enemy capital village. If there are three attackers, then they should attack three different capitals. Send 5 five cata waves, aim for croplands. Avoid top players, target medium players.
3. Get each of them to fake six other enemy capital villages with five cata waves each. Favorite fake targets are top players and alliance leaders.
4. Ask the other alliance members to randomly send fakes to capitals only.

Use this strategy, especially in the mid game, and a lot of players’ capitals will be dead.
