Forts Listed

I always end up forgetting one of these at the worst time and I didn't see this listed in any of the guides I have perused thus far...

Just a few tips... Time and time again people come to me with things like so and so said I can take a level 10 fort with 10k cats and I got wiped. Everyone knows the general rule of thumb is: fort infantry/10 = the number of cats you need to win(for base stats.) As you become more powerful you need less cats obviously. It's easy to take a level 10 fort with 10k cats if you have max gear and techs as well as max attack and speed. If your not sure how many you need then you can dump 10 cats at a fort and see how many infantry they kill. With a little math its easy to figure out how many catapults you will need. Keep in mind that the level of a fort has the same level traps and turrets. Eg. A level 4 fort has level 4 traps and turrets. You can also use a few archers and a few cavalry to slow down the enemy if you are unsure wether you will win or not. Remember though it is better to be safe than sorry. Always send more cats than you think you need. I had no intention of writing a guide and the above really isn't anything more than a few tips. I just wanted to post the fort data but it looked a little lonely so this is what I came up with. Hope that somehow this helps someone, somewhere. Guides really aren't my thing so any feedback is cool.

thanks this helps.

This is great info

What happens if i take only 500 infantry? will i take only part of the resources?

or do i have to bring 2500 inf to take all?

i ask because i have the catapults but dont have the infantry yet.. i have 200 atm.

Yes if you take less infantry then you will bring back less resources. The cats will bring a few home as well but inf or cav are your main resource carriers. Since you can only attack a fort twice in a row to steal the resources and not capture it, it's best to have at least half of the required infantry or you can attack it twice and then wait 3 hours to hit it again. Just don't capture it

Ok so i just hit my first fort today, this where the results

I lost 0,0,0,0 soldiers
I left 716,0,0,300 soldiers
436-99 lost 532,50,100,0 soldiers
436-99 left 0,0,0,0 soldiers
I won
436-99 loyalty 30
i did not get the city
lumber 7129
stone 7129
iron 7129
crops 7129

** ok so why did i get so little resources?
why didnt i get the fort?
how do i get the fort?

i didnt want the fort i wanted the resources but i just want to know how to get a fort.

Ok so number one. It looks like you hit a fort that had 70 loyalty. Had you hit the fort again you would have captured it. When attacking forts each win drops the loyalty by 40 points. Drop the loyalty to zero or less and it's yours. For the resources it's one safe to assume that there were only that many resources left in the fort because it was recently raided. It's also possible that you just didn't bring enough infantry but I can't check that here and now(shhh I'm at work.)

ok so i just hit it again and didnt get the fort again, but this is new

436-99 city loyalty 10
5538 resources each.

i just sent troops there but its a long way. so ill see what happens

thanks for the reply

Yes the fort still had loyalty after the battle. One more hit would have reduced the loyalty enough to capture it. 3 consecutive wins in a reasonable amount of time will get you the fort if it has 100 loyalty. Easy enough. It's good practice for learning how to capture player's cities but that doesn't belong here in this thread:)

This is so much better than that sloppy one that people have been passing around. Thanks for this.
