Authortoo hard thief ambushes
since i'm lvl 7 i have only won a few thief ambushes, i don't have the money to buy better arts, and i should return the TGI by now but i haven't even reached tg lvl 1...i am realy trying all i can but i keep loosing, it seems i will never reach tg lvl 2...

please help me with some advice
You need to have more arts... I'm sorry, but there are no other ways... Thieving is expensive, you have to buy good arts to fulfill your duty.
but i have no money, and i don't like to rent money or anything from anyone, if i'm not sure to finish it, for tgii didn't know i'll level up before i return it...
^^ It's good not to depend on loan but now u don't have enough arts or time to reach TG lv.2. If wait after some defeats against same caravans, maybe can win it with current arts but doing this way 'll be very very tired thing.

There's infected zombie upgrade but it won't help much without decent arts.
Thief ambushes are too hard even for fullart players. That's just ridiculous to fight caravans at TG1 & lvl 8 that sometimes are even harder then Kusika manages to fight at TG5 & lvl 11 like this one:

https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?lt=-1&warid=7007776

hero stats:

attack - 5
defense - 11
spellpower - 18
knowledges - 11

Hero does 185 damage roughly in spite of cape of winds giving 25% lightning protection + has next creatures:

31 hydra
30 lizard assailants

I am not a bad player but I do not have fun when that's IMPOSSIBLE to win a battle. I had last 7 ambushes of caravans and won only 2, half I lost regarding to lag and the rest because it's just IMPOSSIBLE to win. That's fullart of course !

Why do not admins just make 1000 hydras and 20000000 spell power to "balance" the game ? That ruins all my game experience and I am just waiting to get TG2 to return TGI to renter and leave the game there is no fun for me anymore.
^^ Maybe developer don't want to much thieves at here or it'll change name again into Thugs of War and Money.

I counted in your log 14 thief defeats and you have 93 points.... that makes your thieving win percentage 93/(93+14) = 86,9%
Your total win percentage in the game so far is 80.3% which clearly shows that in your case thieving is easier than other activities... what did you expect? 100% win chance maybe??

Yes there are impossible caravans indeed but there are also impossible hunts and impossible mercenary quests etc etc... the only difference with caravan is that you dont know beforehand how hard it is.
Topic moved from "General game forum" to "Queries and help".
i would win if i'd ambush wizards maybe but not the one with 100 mana, and the necro with 60 mana...maybe i'd win more if the 100 mana wizard wouldn't cast lightnings all the time...

Maybe. But consider that sometimes you have to pay 80 euros, real money that finish in their hands ;)
By the way, I've lost agaist so much caravans that i have lost the count. But keep trying, impossible caravans appear only sometimes.
by me they appear all the time...

I do not expect to win all the time but I expect to have at least a little chance of winning. I just cannot see any difference between the current situation and if a caravan hero would appear from time to time with 999 stats and 999 angels.

Is it fun to fight mindless bots you cannot to win even if you do your best? - NO.

Agreed on that but the point is that if X caravan is impossible for you, that does not mean it is impossible for everyone else. I've done a bit more than 300 successful ambushes so far using 2 different factions ( wizard and dark elf ). I have to say that i have met several impossible ambushes for me during that time but almost all of those impossible for me ambushes would be really easy or at least doable for some other faction or even for me at a higher level.

For example both the factions i tried so far tend to have serious problems with 1 huge stack of treefolk. Even if it's impossible for a DE or wizard level 9 to kill a big stack of treefolk in a caravan situation, it would be rather easy for a knight with xbowmen hidden in a corner to kill the big tree without much trouble.

Same situations arise in every aspect of the game ( talking about other guilds ).
for me actually its too hard to get startet an ambush.
it does not load the page... so i loose only the duration of my arts and -2 morale :-(
This day I have to cease all my ambush due to the lag server... :(
