How do you capture a LVL12 HC on Evony?

Answer 1

Theirs many ways but here's the 2 most common and easiest ways.

METHOD 1

WARRIOR / PIKEMEN / ARCHER / CAVALRY / RAMS CONFIG

The easiest method I have come across to take a LV 12 doesn't require high hero attack but only a good number of ballista. You will only lose about 4,000 ballista on the breaker. The spam waves before will eliminate the traps causing them to miss your important troops.

Hero level and attack does not matter for loyalty and spam waves.

Wave 1 to 30 - 2,000 warriors / 2,000 scouts (spam waves)

Wave 31 - 2,000 workers / 3,000 warriors / 122,000 ballista and hero attack of 285 (breaker wave)

Waves 32 and on - 10,000 archers / 20,000 warriors (loyalty waves)

METHOD 2

WARRIOR / PIKEMEN OR SWORDSMEN / ARCHER / CAVALRY / RAMS CONFIG

If you don't have the ballista and need to use other troops, your losses will depend on your hero attack. Your going to use a mix of archer rainbows and pikemen.

With Hero attack 200

Launching from a Lv10 city without war ensign

Wave 1 to 30 - 2,000 warriors / 2,000 scouts

Wave 31 - 33 - 100,000 pikemen

Waves 34 - 35 - 100,000 archers

Wave 36 - 42 (7 waves) - 1,000 workers / 1,000 warriors / 1,000 scouts / 1,000 swordsmen / 95,000 archers / 500 cataphracts / 500 cavalry

Waves 43 and on (loyalty waves) - 10,000 archers / 20,000 warriors

Answer 2

METHOD 1

Cavalry / Archer / Pikemen / Battering Rams Configuration

This method is the most efficient way to take a level 14. If you have higher hero attack than listed here for the waves then you can significantly reduce your losses. The uprise buff is a must if you plan to take a 14 and you almost certainly need some historic heroes, at least for the ballista wave to kill the warriors. You also need to launch from another level 14 historic city for the main waves and need to use a war ensign. there are other ways to take a level 14, and of course if you don't have a level 14 already you will need to launch your big waves from a level 12 historic city(156,000 troops with war ensign) which means you will need more waves. But this method will benefit alliances with strong players good at co ordination or strong players who would like to solo multiple level 14 historic cities themselves.

Wave 1 to 40 - 2,000 warriors /1,000 scouts

Wave 41 to 42 - 150,000 warriors (400 attack historic hero)

Wave 43 - 2,000 workers/5,000 warriors/8,000 swordsmen/10,000 pikemen/50 rams/160,000 archers (600 attack historic hero) - Kills cavalry

Wave 44 - 1,200 workers/4,000 warriors/2,000 swordsmen/3,000 pikemen/50 rams/146,000 archers (600 attack historic hero) - Kills Pikemen

Wave 45 - 2,000 pikemen/2,000 swordsmen/183,000 archers (500 attack historic hero) - Kills Archers

Wave 46 - 1,200 workers/12,000 warriors/3,000 archers/50 rams/170,000 ballista (600 attack historic hero) - Kills Warriors

Wave 47 and on - Loyalty waves, can be same loyalty waves as level 12s providing they a second or two after the ballista hit. The regeneration rate of troops in a level 14 historic city is very fast, timing has to be perfect when capping with other players.
