Hero - Recruit only heroes who have a score of 60+
in at least one stat: POL, INT, or ATT.
Ideally in the beginning you want to find a hero with high Politics
(POL) to help you build structures faster and gather resources faster.
The
level of the hero is irrelevant. A level 15 hero with a highest stat of
45 is worth less than a level 2 hero with a 62 in one stat.
In fact
you pay for heroes based on their level so a low level hero with high
stats is preferred. A level 2 hero costs 40 gold an hour. A level 15
hero would cost 300 gold an hour.

Ad the stuff you want - voila! Your hero got more experience.Reduce lossKeep a very
high
attack hero to defend your city and
keep a room vacant in all FH.
If the enemy sends a high attack hero
then he will be captured if there’s a room in your FH.
Attacking a level 10 Y
To minumise your loss hero
at least 122 attack.OR- some acctually, till top hero reaches 140+ attack, cause with 122+ heroes
I always lose the entire main wave (about 80-90k arch + others), of
which up to 50% can be recovered from the medic camp depending on your
honor level. You should also scout till you get a defending hero that's
less than level 10 (the last hero you scouted will be the one defending
when you attack).
With
160+ attack hero (87500 archer, 3500 worker, 3500 warrior, 3500 scout,
2000 transport), my archer losses is typically less than 10k. No
transport is lost. All the workers, warriors, scouts may die, but we
don't care about them because they're fast to make. :) If the L10 has
not been raided recently, you'll carry back 19m food.
IMPORTANT: of course this assumes that your research tech levels have been maxed out.

Intelligence gives a boost to defence - up to a maximum of 50% damage reduction.
Here's the most basic of my calculators with Intelligence formula added (a percentage increase on base defence):-
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ans3NhaMDLGkdEZvbVp6WXFmMHVBU3NMSjVZdmNEe lE&hl=en_GB
When you start on a new server, the hero to look for would be one
with both Attack and Intelligence in the high 60s. It's not really
practical to increase both stats, but that high starting intelligence
will pay dividends when the hero is ready to start hitting level 10s.
Also if you're sending enough troops to one-shot the enemy then
sending your most intelligent hero would be the smart thing to do.
Here's an example of what the buff items will do; the Corselet
increases an archer's base defence by 20%, applying the Art of War on a
hero with 60 Intelligence would increase base defence by 15%.
Chart below, compiled by Neokarasu, shows how much Intelligence is
needed to gain the maximum 50% damage reduction (Iron Working level 10
assumed).
Worker (D = 10)::: Int = 850*
Warrior (D = 50):: Int = 850
Scout ( D = 20)::: Int = 850*
Pikes (D = 150)::: Int = 184
Swords (D = 250):: Int = 50
Archers (D = 50):: Int = 850
Cavs (D = 180):::: Int = 128
Phracts (D = 350): Int = 0 (it's actually a negative number so
Phracts are already "defense capped" after IW10 - or IW9 to be exact -
so that's why they're one tough mofo)
Bal (D = 160)::::: Int = 163
Pult (D = 200):::: Int = 100
Ram (D = 160)::::: Int = 163
*Scouts and Workers have a defence of 50 despite what tool-tip says.
Additional: Just before posting, I thought I'd best do a search to
see if this was already known and I found an ancient post from way back
in April. Seems they were pretty wise in those days, I bet they didn't
believe in flying horses
SCOUT BOMBThe scout bomb is an effective way to weaken a high level opponent’s
defenses. Scout bombs can destroy all the traps, and devestate the
archers defending a city.
Scout bombs are very effective technique to kill the
archers. One way to
reduce the archer loss is to keep a very
high
attack hero to defend your city and
keep a room vacant in the FH. As
scouts are surely going to die, most players do not send very high
attack hero with them.
So your high attack hero will kill most of the
scouts without much loss. And if the enemy sends a high attack hero
then he will be captured if there’s a room in your FH.
...........................
There's
a simple workaround for this, which you can use when attacking others.
Set your "throwaway" hero to land 1 sec before your good hero. Let's
say you have 3 heroes which won't mind losing, plus 3 more you've spent
months levelling up so that they are now 140+ attack points. Send the 3
disposable heroes to attack with 1 scout each, to arrive 1 or 2 sec
before the good ones, each with 100k scouts. This way, if there are
vacant spots in the target's feasting hall, the throwaway heroes will
fill them up, so that your good heroes don't get captured.
Of
course if the target feasting hall has more than 3 vacancies
(unlikely), your good hero might still get captured. Is there a chance
that there might be a vacancy, but a defeated still doesn't get
captured? If capture doesn't happen 100% of the time a hero is
defeated, there is a possibility the disposable hero is not captured
but the good hero is captured. I don't know the answer to this, so I
always send 3 disposable heroes ahead of the good ones, and I'll never
risk the top hero from any city, but I will risk the 2nd ranking one.
