i need help guys
i started thieving and i am loosing about 70%
now, am i an idiot or this is supposed to be like that in the begining?
i am trying different aproaches, even bought gold upgrade but i just dont seem to stood a chance
caravan heroes are too strong, or have way too much army for me to handle
have i started thieving too early or what? |
Hi,
Its normal that you lose many ambushes, even though it seems weird to me that you lose so much of them at lvl 6.
Perhaps it could be that you're faction lvl of dark elf is only 0. If it was like 4 -5 you would have an extra defence bonus against them.
The best thing is to start thieving asap, its gets harder each lvlel.
Everytime you lose a ambush that same caravan gets 5% easier next time you encounter it. If you win, that same caravan will get 7% stronger.
This is just the way thieving is. Try to get ur faction lvl higher, it will be allot easier defaeting carvans that way. Or try to buy some gear, make's it easier to. I play like this, I'll play 2weeks losing constantly and after 2 weeks I buy GEAR and do 70 caravans in like 3 days ( */- 60 wins each time). After that, just start losing again, after a while the caravans gets allot easier. |
| In the start, caravans are made to be played in full ap. If you play them in min ap, you'll lose some until they get easy enough for you to win them. |
and what if i play them in full ap?
how much is difference in exp/fsp ratio
and is there a significant increase in wining?
gold doesnt interests me, i dont care what is expensive
just what makes best exp/fsp ratio
i just didnt found that answer anywhere |
well, maybe if you played different faction, it would be easier. When I started TG on lvl 6 I didn't have a problem: https://www.lordswm.com/pl_warlog.php?id=4856137&page=173
I think there are not any dramatic changes since that time.
and what if i play them in full ap?
you will probably win 2-3 more times against the certain type of caravan and they you will have to lose again to win later... The result - more exp for a winning
how much is difference in exp/fsp ratio
the more troops you kill, the more exp you get, fsp is still 1 (against a caravan)
and is there a significant increase in wining?
as I could find out, once you get to the point where you can't win against a certain kind of caravan with the same AP and the other settings which you had during previous fights (also with the same strategy which is very important), you usually need to lose twice (on average - sometimes it can be only once, sometimes even three times... but the most of the times it was twice for me)
just what makes best exp/fsp ratio
for this TG isn' suitable anymore, it was when I entered it a year ago. now you get more exp for a winning. There is one strategy to still have good ratio - you must get to a point where you are able to win against certain type of caravan - win it, then record it to some sheet and next two cases when you will face the exact caravan, lose against it (twice)... then win again etc... I am recording my caravans here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AiB_pQQzlJq3dDFyYzlaRTU2UHlBU2t5OGJaQmJzdHc&ou tput=html
however I am not using this strategy anymore, because I don't care about the ratio anymore... |
| thanks mate, that was helpfull |

...oh... I forgot to mention one important thing :o) those two losses you must do with the least caused damage possible (so you get 0 fsp or 0.01 fsp... I was aslways afraid the caravans don't get weaker when I get only 0.00 fsp so I always tryed to gain at least 0.01 fsp but probably it doesn't matter) |
2 simple thing
1-only play in min ap
2-only play as darkelf |
| so if i change faction caravans i will encounter will be just like i didnt change it? |

They will be harder as you're faction lvl will be lower.
2-only play as darkelf
This is what you should do. |
well, actually i am trying to build some factions ressistances
thats why i change factions
i was planing to raise all factions to lv 3 fsp
and then pick one to play to high lvls
dwarves, probbably
anyway, i was thinking, if i have to lose, and it seems its just that kind of guild, then it is better to lose now, when xp penalty for loosing is smaler
right? |
| yes u can but dont forget when u will go for level up caravan will be 20% harder |
| ok, thanks everyone |
| in CL 7 it should be much easier for your DE to win as you can have with rally talent much more shrews. |
