My usual talent combo is rally, escort and basic fortune. I think I'll go with that next time :P
If that doesn't work, try advanced offense + battle fury. (I don't actually know if it'll work well, but you can try it as as a last resort.) | | Any tips for a new lvl. 3 knight? | Hi all,
I'm a level 5 knight and I have just fought 2 battles against Elves. In both battles, the fight was not even close even thought we were just using normal arts.
The problem is Knights are already slow (initiative) by nature, and against elves, who are sooooo fast, by the time my troops reach their Elven Bowmen & Druids to cause any damage, almost all my troops are dead !
I mean, it's 1 thing to make different faction have different skills, attack/defense, initiative etc, but making the elf turns so fast (initiative), is just ridiculous (!)
Most of the Elf's troops have range shooters, and with powerful MAGIC (for lvl 5 standard) to boot ! And to top it off, for every 1 turn of my troops, EACH of the Elf's troops goes like 2-3 turns! By the time my swordmen can even reach their ranks, all my troops are dead, and my SM HP is halved! ppfff...
Here's how my 2 battles went.

In both battles, I think I'm even wearing a little more arts than my opponents, and with as you can see, I even tried different strategies. SAME RESULT. ggrrr..
Anyone have any advise (or a link to a battle) on how to beat an Elf at this level (and not cause the Elf played like a noob.. :p )?
Seriously, if I play as an elf, and if arts are equal, I will probably beat a Knight 99-100/100 times, regardless of what tactics the knight use, coz I would have killed off all the knight's troops before they can even reach my troops.
Frustrated Knight. :/ | I think you should stay back with griffs and defend for swords and recruits to catch up.
To kill an elf, you need to swarm him.
If you send one unit after another, his bows and fk will make short work of it.
Also, it might be a better idea to spend your heroes and bows attacks on elvenbows instead of druids.
Don't split griffs or swords. Better split bows in as much stacks as you can.
Most of elven troops are shooter/casters. Escort is useless against those.
Maybe try something else like basic leadership + medal of bravery, so you have a good chance to burst on first turn. | I don't know about you but i almost won every duel with elves at lvl 5-6
https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?warid=478186381<=-1
in that duel i used leadership
can't find any other duel my combat log is such a mess | For Jedi
you have maked 2-3 mistakes.
First, First atack with griffins should be concentrated on FK, no on druids
Second, sword mans attack should be concentrated on bowmens. I had chance to eliminate on stack of bowmen. An split bowmen on 3-4stacks. On level 5 against Elfs very important is moral more than escort or luck only moral can neutralize elfs high initiative | | when fighting caravans at lvl 8 should i try to use swords instead of xbows? now i've lost a lot of fights where they seem to get killed before they get the chance to do any real damage:) | I used max swords and x-bows as decoy on lvl 8.
The swords are you most long-live creature you have at lvl 8, so use max of them. | | yeah, i just tried it for 1 fight, and it worked much better than max xbows:) | for Jedi-Knight: Because knights NEVER play before elves and shrews, then to make u stay longest at battlefield: Focus on Defence ..change ur primary skill, all to defence ..:) Ur griffins got too close to elvens at the first turn, 6 tiles, stay always in 7 tiles, kill druids first was a good choice .. :)
But why u killed the Druids with SM at the 2n turns ?? kill Bowmen..:) they are the most dangerous enemies at elvens side .. :) I killed Elves with EFKS .. :) at level 6 in no arts duels .. I will post u the link ..:) I have to search first .. :) | https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?lt=-1&warid=3715910
sorry not EFKS, but FKS.. long time for me.. not remember it .. :) He had luck, I did too... :)
Best tactics for Knights vs Elves :
Talents: ESCORT
Formations:
5 stacks of bowmen
1 stack Griffins
1 stack SM
Place the SM and Griffins at the middle of battlefield, then u can reach anything easier.
Movements :
1. Move griffins and stay away from 7 tiles vs Elvens
2. Let the druids use all the mana to kill ur griffins or Bowmen
3. If u have remaining bowmen, make sure to reduce or kill Elvens first ..:) DO NOT VOLLEY ^^
4. Step by step open rooms for ur SM to kill the Elvens with ur birds, do not worry ur SM will stay longer at the battlefield ... :) as long as u wanna focus ur primary skill on defence .. :)
5. ESCORT will be helpful to kill FKS and Sprites .. :) Coz once again u will ever play before elves and shrews.. ^^
Any further discussions on this thread plzz .. :) | I finally beat the barbaric invaders {11}!
https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?warid=479031005
The secret? I went with my usual talent combo and this time I DIDN'T split my crossbows and that allowed them to unleash their full power against the ogres. | for Javi:
Luckily this time no Cyclops .. but still good job, Javi... :) As long as u wanna leave the orcs first, let them waste their arrows .. :) that is COOL .. ^^
Block the large creatures with griffins .. but With not full arts u should win .. :) If the cyclops there, split x-bow a good choice, leave them first till the arrow empty ... :) they are not elvens that have many arrows .. :) COOL ... ^^ | | Guys I need some advice to beat barbarian at level 3-4, I'm finding the orcs as the best tier 3 troops in the game because their great tactical advantages of being good shooters and good melee fighters at the same time.... what should I do to win against them? I used 23 bowmen and 20 swords with some farmers but the orcs shoot better than the bowmen and the wolves have always the first hit against the swords while my minos are already death.... maybe I should recruit more bowmen? But then he will get the hand to hand predominance.... | | for Astinus: You must recruit more swordsmen | | Are knights strong on levels 8 and 9? | 616.
get in lv8 or 9, feel it yourself.
there are alot questions which shouldnt be answered in knight thread. those answers can be found in help manual of game.
dont just lazy, go and read. repeating answer all those same questions is just waste of time. | I am new to level 8, and I have some qustions to ask :
How to handle and control X-bows ?
https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?warid=479057218<=-1
Thaks to monks I won or else I lose.
And how the hell do I defeat necros !! ?
In group battles they suck the blood out of you, how to kil them ! | In answer to your first question, the way to handle x-bows is protect them at all costs (if you are doing a max x-bow build)
I watched your battle and have a few thoughts
1. If you are going to use max x-bows, then fully max them out, and split swords into as many stacks as possible, rather than 2 groups of 5. I usually had 6 swords at level 8 (for max x-bow build) and had 2 stacks of 1, and 2 stacks of 2. (or 3 of 1, and 1 of 3) So I had a total of 4 stacks of swords.
2. Fallen knight build is not the best talent build for hunts with max x-bows. Instead get your luck as high as possible and perhaps get leadership as well. For hunts (against non-ranged enemies) max x-bows is the way to go. Plus, instead of poisoning the enemy and otherwise using dark magic on them, use your magic to bless the x-bows. When you have 80+ x-bows bless can really improve your damage with one shot.
3. Keep the enemy away from the x-bows as much as possible. Your monks make great meat shields.
Here is a hunt of mine where I used the x-bows decently well. (I did make some mistakes and did not have the best talent build, but it will suffice to show how to use x-bows)
https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?warid=478643445<=-1
notice that my I killed most of the stacks with the crossbows, doing up to 1500+ damage per shot (when at super close range). Imagine what the damage would have been if I had had a lucky attack (which would have been a lot more likely if I had put some points and arts into luck)
Crossbows are extremely deadly at close range, and therefore should be protected as best as possible. Use all your other troops as meat shields to keep the enemies away just a little longer so the x-bows have as many shots as possible. | Just a quickie Q (should be here since it relates to knight faction only).
I looked at the highest level knight here and .ru, and it seems that lvl 13-14 is the highest any Knight has reached so far. But still, for these players... NO Angel.
Does anyone know at what level will Knights get Angel?
Thanks in advance. |
