Cav strategies

Anybody using full Cav armies?

Can you share your stats and also who many cavs you use to attack forts?

stats: 145 speed 90 defence(all i got left) 65 attack, 30 luck


waiting till i come almost in range of the cats, the rushing forward and killin them

If its a level 7 fort with 58k infantry, what is a good number of cavs to use? I am just thinking, what is a good cav vs inf ratio to hit on.

idk it really , i always got enough cav;) i got 20k atm

With a top speed stats and around 20k cav army, can you do a level 9 fort easily?

What is the damage you take?

I never tried that rly...

Haven't tried that either, but for forts, you should add archers in your cav setup. On the same turn you move cav forward, aim your archers at their cats. (wait 1 turn or you won't hit cats and they'll hit you. If you wait and have high speed/shooting, not only will you move before the cats do, but you'll hit them first eliminating them from hitting your cav. I also let the enemy cav run into me while having the archers target archers until i move both forward.
I've never lost an archer while attacking a fort. I have tried this setup against level 10 turrets alone. 15 lv 10 turrets and this setup won, with very minute damage, in the first half of turn 2. Doesn't leave much time for slow turrets to do much damage.
As to how many cavalry... I did a test of cavalry v.s. infantry. was 4 infantry v.s. 1 cav. the cav never took out more than 2. The fail part of this experiment though was the stats. He had boosted attack and I had boosted defense ( they add percentages, not direct points and cavs have higher stats). I tried this current experiment with both sides on defender though. I intend to try this experiment again involving two people with no added stats to see the results. I haven't tried the ratio 1 cav/ 3 infantry yet, but that'd be my best estimate. I usually do half though bc I usually have the cav to do so and never wanted to go higher than a lv8 fort until just now. (with a cav army anyways)

So for a level 8 fort, how many cavs do you use on an average?

Do you use archers with it?

What are your general's stats (with item bonuses)?

I really thought I took an ss of me taking a lv8 fort with cav and archers, but I didn't. My rule of thumb on this is 1/3 of the infantry for cavalry for safety, if you have good equips and techs. I've heard of several others using that ratio too. If you increase in attack or have a decent bit of ranged helpers, you might be able to go with 1/4. I think I had about 30-40k archers when I was last fort farming with this setup. I'm aiming for 150-250k archers, haven't decided yet. Might settle in the middle somewhere...

I stopped using catapults for the most part. Cav have a tactical weakness against cats (the screen chase, blockers, traps if you're defending), but cav have a 50% advantage on cats in actual battle. Infantry take 33% less damage from archers, so it's best you use them to take out other things first then when the infantry are close, rush or if you have enough turns let them hit you. If you have enough cav, you can rush turn 1 and get it over with.

If you want to take 1 cat with you and it just so happens you have low speed and the fort has no traps and turrets, you can walk that one cat almost into the cav army and then retreat. I'd love to see if this works as well as it does against cavalry. XD

maxed speed. 90 def. base attack. rest in fortune(lucky strikes happen pretty often with my archers for some reason). max equips. max techs.

I heard someone on S3 say that they farmed a lvl 8 fort using 60k cavs and nothing else, and only lost 112 cavs.
