Hey all, I've just started thieving, and so far my pre-combat troop settlement has always been like this: https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?lt=-1&warid=13048533
Is that the best way to settle my troops? |
| Nothing wrong with it. At your level, its probably best to keep your troops together for support and such. |
| Does anyone have any strategies for necro caravans? I've only beaten them once out of 5 ambushes.. = / |
all of my successful necro caravan ambush at lv 6
open formation - little to no protection

i don't recommend to use any of my formation up there cause they sucks :p and necro caravan are beast! i guess i was lucky back there |
If you don't have hobs, go with the wolves. Take a few goblins, Maybe 3. Their job is to get killed, so your wolves take no retal.
Level 5, the best talent is luck. Once you get to 6, there is no other option but battle fury. You may think about another talent, but then take battle fury. :-) |
bah! fury is like drugs for us barbarian. you can't live without it :(. suddenly all your troops become a wimp without it. oh well, never mind. i just done some messing around with vitality. it's fun to see your troops suddenly have quite an endurance.
who need's guardian? our hobs are sufficient :p

ogres as the tank (well, they always are -_-)

look at lower left orc tanking so many little stack

Just went to level 7 and can't decide about the talents. Battle fury of course is extremely cool, I love what hobs can do with it, but somehow luck +2 is tempting as well... plus I feel like doing something wrong having the same talents at level 7 that I already had at 6. ;-)
I still tend towards battle fury; what do you guys think? |
sadly (or not), battle fury is a MUST for us barbarians. Since that, u can try to experiment some other things, majority of players goes for an ultra offensive set of talents as expert offense and cold blade (logical for a barb who tend to play agressively), but choosin luck or morale is not fool imo.
cheers!! |
One thing I've been doing with caravans is put 1 orc in each of the corners. The big advantage caravans have is they have so many units, that they hit you, you do retal, then they pound on you and you have no retal left.
The AI is foolish enough to often send someone to attack the lone orc. That has them out of the real part of the fight for 3 turns. The turn to get to your orc, and unless they are very fast, 2 turns to get back as they are so out of position.
Also works well with demons, as while the succubi retal against archers, it uses up their retal. 1 orc, drags out the retal then you crush them with your big orc stack, your ogres, your hobs, whatever. |
Hey,
I wonder if Ogre Magi update at level 12 is really important. Some opinions? |
| Any tips for hunting-only barbarian at level 4? |
for Aguar:
if you vhoose advance fortuant then you will have 20%cahance to dael 100% more damage,but if you choose battel fury you will have a 100% chacne to deal 25%more damage with orc and wolves and 100% chance to deal 50% more damage with hobs
so fury is more effective |
I wonder if Ogre Magi update at level 12 is really important
+1 speed, +15 hp and the most important thing, chastise! i think it's worth to upgrade ogre
Any tips for hunting-only barbarian at level 4?
uhh, just hunt like usual? seriously it's still level 4, there isn't much thing you can do |
| i have question-whats the best team at lvl 6 for barbarian at GB |
hi, i just switch to barb today
1: what is better talent set, expert off + fury + cold blade or fury + rally?
2: what's the best recruit for caravans, and what's the usual setup
i'm getting 0-58-36-8-8 with offense set, and 0-67-42-7-8 with rally.
thanks in advance, also raiders are amazing! |
1:
I believe expert off is better, seeing you only get 9 more raiders and 6 orcs, and 1 less ogre from rally.
besides, off gives you 35% more damage in melee.(15% ranged) |
| need help with troop recruitment at lv 8 |
@ Jambronk
I usually go with the following:
6 Rocs
14 orgres
37 Orcs
35 Wolf raiders
4 Hobgobs (to eliminate retalliation)
I'm not that succesfull, but it seems like a decent set-up. Note that when you play against ranged units, you should go for only 12 orgres - this allows your Rocs to transport them near to the enemy.
Good luck |
