So you want to take on a level 10 barbarian NPC city. It can be done, but takes time to build up your forces. Here's some info on what you need.
First look around the map for a lvl10 flat, or a lvl10 barbarian city.
Here are few facts you need to remember:
Firstly, the difficulty of conquering depends on how far away the city your attacking from is from the Barbarian city, the CLOSER your city is, the EASIER it is to conquer.
Secondly, NPC level 10 cities regain 3 loyalty per 6 minutes, an attack with archers from 1 mile away would normally take around 2-3minutes.
Thirdly, the NPC level 10 loyalty is normally at 92 and it will drop by -3 for each attack till it reach 50 then it will drop by -2 till it is drop to 0.
What do we need to conquer NPC Level 10?
Even though there are many method we can use but I always use archers only method as it is much easier and it is faster and required lower tech research level compare to other methods. But it is also caused more troops casualties.
Recommended: 300,000 archers
Minimum: 250,000 archers
Pros: Speedy conquer, low tech requirements. Cons: More troop casualties then other methods.
Heroes
You will need 4 to 10 heroes with 100+ attack, depending how fast you want to conquer the lvl10 Barb city. if your a sadist like me and enjoy a slow torture you can conquer it with 3. The higher the attack of the hero, the less troops you have to send.
Your town
Find yourself a flat preferably 1-2miles near your desired lvl10, or if you just happen to have a lvl10 barbarian in your backyard then your in luck.
Within the town, you will need these essential buildings, Recommended: lvl8 feasting hall, lvl10 rally point, lvl 6 academy Minimum: lvl5 feasting hall, lvl5 rally point, lvl6 academy and make sure you have a spare town slot.
Technology and research
I wouldn't recommend trying to conquer a level10 if you've only broken +5 research on Iron Working ( Armor ), Medicine ( Health ) and Military Tradition ( Attack ).
Recommended: +10 research Minimum: +6 research
So by now you should have a town built near a lvl10, in that town you should have a lvl10 rally spot, a lvl8 feasting hall, and a lvl6 academy. Your troop attack, defence and health research upgrades are around lvl8-9.
Ok requirements aside, lets get down to conquering that juicy lvl10 you had your eyes on ever since your scout report came back with 37 level 10 farms.
Make sure you have food and gold... last thing you need is for your heroes and troops to run away...
FIRST WAVE (SPEARHEAD) ATTACK
Spearhead of the attack consists of either: 99,995 archers with layers (Layers = 1 Pikeman + 1 swordman + 1 Cavalry). Our main objectives is to successfully break the 400,000 warriors and defences the Barbarian city has.
Depending on your technology, you will take losses but no worries that's why we bought spare troops right?
FOLLOWING WAVE ATTACKS
Along with the first wave, rest of your 5-9 attacks depending on your feasting hall, should follow closely with the first, a few seconds apart if possible. Your marches should never more than 1 minutes apart as i tried it if it is more than a minute we will faced with 40,000 warrior and lost more troops.
Note: use Pikemen and Swordmen to layer, because they have relatively the same marching speed, therefore they don't slow your archers down, and they are there for prevent any short comings, i have recommended using 25,000 archers per wave, which is enough to take out the 6 minute troop re spawn the Barbarian city has.
Losses: you will take around 500 - 2,000 archers per wave depending on how good your tech is.
Once again please bare in mind that Barbarian level 10 regain 3 loyalty and 10% troops per 6 minutes. It's loyalty starts at 92, it loses 3 loyalty per attack, until 50 loyalty or so, then it starts to lose 2 per attack.
So expect an hour or more.
MOST IMPORTANT
Don't attempt to try this around server maintenance, unless you want a tragic end.
