Level 9 turrets didnt take out any cats???

Mine never have.
Would help a lot if we had War Reports.

Im sorry the war reports are out of my mail list already. I do know that he paused his troops and just sent his cats. He wiped out the first row of turrets then the next turn he wiped the second row. All without losing a single cat. Just not what i was expecting after spending all the time and money on my turrets.....

Oh well then, he simply has a higher speed than you. You made it seem like he took out both rows at once.

Hey all!

I'm bumping this old thread because my question is a bit similar.

Why didn't my level 10 turrets take out any cats?

I have level 10 shooting, marching and turrets.

I built troops in a city and forgot about them. Of course I soon got attacked and that's all fair and good. I would have done the same. But the turret behavior really bugs me...

Battle went like this :
- Turn 1-4. He waited and killed my advancing troops (I was offline)
- Turn 5. He advances his catapults, they move 99.
- Turn 6. He advances his catapults, they move 99 and kill the first line of turrets. Turrets didn't kill anything.
- Turn 7. He advances his catapults, they move 99 and kill the second line of turrets. Turrets didn't kill anything.
- Turn 8. He advances his catapults, they move 99 and kill the last line of turrets. Turrets didn't kill anything.
- Rest of the turns he backs up with the cats and forwards inf to clear the odd traps which I had there.
- Then the resources were carted away while the widows and orphans cried.

Final result:
He lost only 160+ infs to the traps and 4 and 2 archers and cats to my small troops when they were auto-advancing.

Speed:
- My cats moved 127 per turn, his 99 per turn.
- The order of movement was: my cavs, his cavs, my archers, his infs, my cats, his cats. I had no infs, he had no archers.
- Conclusion is that my speed was higher than his.

So how on earth did he avoid getting hit by the oh-so-awesome level 10 turrets?! Secret Ninja catapults?

lol this is actually quite a neat trick, go study the battle report and you will see this.

Basically, if the attacker's cat is at a certain speed, (well below max speed), they can move forward once without getting into attack range of the first row of turrets, then on the second turn the cats will move forward enough to attack the first row of turrets but without getting hit by the second row and so on.

Since level 9 turrets only have 40 extra range if you place the speed in right range you can take them all out with no losses.

I forgot the exact range of speed which you're able to do this (you can do it to level 10 turrets as well). This is a rarely used tactic since even if you use this set up to allow your cats to wipe out high level turrets cleanly, it's still not advisable as your low speed will get owned by a proper army.

HTH

Allright, thanks for the explanation. Makes sense.
I had level 10 turrets so apparently it works well against them too.

So, slow cats for the win...

No. There is no possible way to take out level 9/10 turrets without losses.
They have range of 1000/1050, which is not matched by cats 960 with max tech. As of speed, there is no troop faster than these turrets, cept maybe full speed cav but they cannot reach the turrets within a turn.
So the only way is to push forward infantry to take the hit from turrets while cats take em out. That mustve been bug/glitch or maybe you just didnt see that he sent inf forward to take the hit from your turrets?

what? as i've understood turrets attack last each turn... i guess i havent really paid that much attention to that though

Turrets always attack last, otherwise your cats won't be able to wipe out level 8 turrets without taking damage.
