Getting high level forts without the required soldiers

Forts are a big part of haypi as they are loaded with resources. However, they serve another purpose: money. Now a level one fort only gives out 20 money an hour- a pretty slow rate for someone that us trying to accumulate some cash. So I have found a way to get high level forts 7 and 8 with only 20 percent if the troops needed to capture it. The first step is to find some forts in your area that are lvl 7 or 8 and add them to ur favorites in map. The next step is to regulate these forts whenever u are on. What u will find is that many times people will farm forts leaving them weak for anyone to take. This is what u are looking for. When u find this u can tell if u can take it with no casualties by looking at the number if infantry that the fort possesses. If the infantry are less or equal to 10 times the number if cats u have then u will be fine. And that is the way to take high level forts and ring up some cash without having the troops that are normally required.

a good tip, sir.
but an even easier way is to find a fort that someone else owns and take it with a bunch of cav lol
you run the same risks taking someones farm fort, in fact, i tend to get more upset about someone taking a fort im farming regularly than i do about someone taking a fort ive occupied.
usually the forts i occupy are veeerrry far from my cities

Good tip indeed

There are two other ways of doing this, with the same result (an occupied fort)

1) Get an alliance member / friend to attack the fort, one he/she can clear.
2) Send your attack to land ASAP after his. Hopefully it'll be a nearby fort so this should be easy. If it is distant, send your attack right after his and it will "stack" and land 10minutes behind.
3) Send in a second attack (third on the fort) and it's yours.

Method 2:

1) Get an alliance member to attack a fort and "wait" to kill all the troops. This needs to be a fort with traps & turrets intact.
2) Send your attack once he starts.
3) He will lose the fight, and leave the resources intact, but the next assault will have only scraps of troops left, like before.
4) You will need to be able to take on the forts defences, too. The best level for this is a level 8 - as there is a chance you'll have max shooting and be able to outrange the turrets with cats, taking very minimal overall losses. Otherwise, 'meatshield' by keeping your inf ahead of your cats and accept the losses. Should be 2-3k for a level 9 and upto 5k for a lvl 10 fort in infantry losses.
5) Repeat and you will not only take the fort, but get the resources too.

Your method has one flaw; you are thieving a fort that another player is regularly farming. If the player is strong enough to get a fort you can't touch, you may not want to irritate them in this way

Thanks for the input guys. I actually meant to put in the part about using an alliance member to help but I forgot while I was writing so thanks for adding on.

or you can steal their fort and get an alt account named fort_taker

and spam their inbox>>>

I believe he is. :/ I also believe that can be considered harassment. To be safe, you should find an oasis of his and attack it over and over while you have the max number of oasis's. You won't obtain the oasis and you can attack player owned oasis's an infinite number of times. Works with forts too.

actually im not but this is actually a technique many people actually use. and support themselves will retrieve it for you if you ask. but its not considered harassment as kai did it to me!!! i reported to support and it said its just dirty trick

Generally, if you take a farmed fort, chances are the farmer will come back for it (I do), especially if it's the highest level they can currently farm. They will either play it nice and ask you to resign it, or simply take it.

Thank You ^^
