RoF attacks.....:-

Rain of Fire (RoF)

Involves many (if not all) players within an alliance to use their secondary armies to attack an enemy alliance. Before RoF can be used, players must first be instructed to build a RoF army. A RoF army should at minimum consist of 1000 axeman, 500 TKs, 100 rams, and 110 catas.

Players should be instructed to build RoF armies sometime during mid game.

Once players have a RoF army, they can be assigned to attack a player’s village at random. There is only one attack wave in a RoF attack, so only two buildings may be destroyed. The best targets are the Warehouse, Granary, Trade Office, Main Building or Marketplace.

With a RoF attack, fake all the other villages including the capital. Avoid attacking the capital with a RoF army as they are too small.

Players can be assigned targets by alliance rank. For example, the number one ranked player within your alliance will attack the number one ranked player in the enemy alliance. The number two will attack number two and so on.

This however, is not a very creative target assignment because the attack pattern is easily recognized. A clever commander can defend against such attacks by assigning same ranked players from friendly wings to reinforce those under attack.

You may also assign RoF targets by letting players choose their own targets. They may be assigned to attack any village of the top 15 players in one or two wings of the enemy alliance. This attack pattern is somewhat more difficult to spot.

RoF attacks are simple to organize, and can be very useful, and provided that players actually send fakes, then it is very difficult to defend against them. You will find that if executed well, RoF will have up to 90 percent success rate.

The key for RoF success lies in faking and having a lot of players attacking. If there are not enough fakes, this strategy will have a high failure rate.

The setback of RoF attacks is that it does minimal damage and is only disruptive at best.

In summary, the Rain of Fire strategy involves :-

1. Get all players to build a RoF army.
2. Assign every player to send a single wave cata attack to the top 15 players of an enemy alliance. Avoid the capital, aim for support villages.
3. Fake every other village, including the capital with a single cata wave.
