Is it better to farm one orc with 15 attacks to get all the money out of him, farm one orc with 1 attack with the maximum amount of attacks daily, or just attck everybody. and is it better to attack with 1 or 15 turns.
i'm relatively new to KoC, and new here, so i'm trying to find out a good strategy of getting money.

oh yeah, and how should i find a good farm, an orc with the same kind of attack/defense as me, or smaller or higher?

search target with as much soldiers... (but still weaker than you if you want to take any gold)
Also, I personally Attack till the have left after my attacks about 200K... I attack with not 15 attacks, but the number of attacks that if i will get for every attack turn an average of about 10K-15K, the money that'll be left will be as I said 200K.
Also, I usualy attack the first attack with one attack turn (attack... attack... attack...)
This is for seeing if he is farmable, and how much aprox I get for every attack turn....

cool, thanks heaps, i won't double post anymore. that's cleared things up a bit more fore me.
many thanks. :D  

I usually also attack with one first to see the payout, but after that usually a fifteen to get the most $$ with the least damage to my weapons.  It seems that the more different attacks I use (say 5, 5, 5) result in more durability loss as opposed to one hit of 15.

it's a good idea to "test the water" before to start using up your attack turns.  another good idea, if you have a good CA when at a low rank, you can make a covert run and find a bit more info on people before you attack.  I like the "test the water" idea better myself

Yeah, after "testing the waters" when you find that orc that pays good, mmmm it's heaven.

amen (in an evil sort of way), the only problem is that I don't much in the way of SA  :(  maybe when I canget some mercs I'll attack, I really don't want to get my money men killed

i usually use spies. I have a lot of them and i don't want to blow a valuable attack turn and damage my attack weapons

If you don't trust your spy skill or if you can't pass the target just through an attack of 1 turn, if the results is nice land your 15 turns attack :D  

why bother attack? I havn't attacked in ages.  I simply live off turn money. :cool:  

and how many attack turns you have? :)  

he's probably got something like 2000 attack turns, i saved up to 300 attack turns now, cos every1 around my rank got defence like 2m, so i never attack

I have like 3 guys that keep farming me... can anyone help me out about that like how to stop it?

Get accepted into TGA and we'll take care of them.  Just don't post their names in the City now.  ;)  

~2500 attack turns now

i have about 300 attack turns

2 attack turns (:

I keep a buffer of 100 attack turns, i'll probably up it to a buffer of 150 soon just in case i need to go sab crazy.  I usually send a spy to recon, if they get caught then i attack because no one at my rank can have that high a sabb skill yet have a big defense!  Of course i try to keep my CA as high as possible too... heh
 

1429 attack turns, and growing.  :D  

Wow, why do you guys have so many turns?  LOL...I rarely have over 70..

Anyways, I have pretty high spy level for my rank, so I always send a spy first.  If I think it might be mildly close, then I'll sab any serious weapons.  Also, I try to find a target with 130k or more gold.  I only attack people ranked lower than me.  At this point everyone around my has 50+ more guys than I, so usually I just pick a page with rankings lower than I and attack.  

Right now...I think I have about 60 attack turns.  I rarely ever get many...the most I ever got was just a little over 100, and MAN was it fun spending those.  I think I got six excals that day, and I started with just a steed...

And I *try* <_< to resist the temptation to attack unless my target has over 300K gold.

Too bad people don't know how honored they are to be attacked by me...

i decided to save up attack turns
i have 30 at the moment (which is already a world record!  LOL )

940 and growin but once my attack gets to 2 mil i will have a lot less real fast

Concerning farming in general. I realize it's a must as you get higher in the game but when your starting out and your CA isn't that high seems like an easy way to inspire others to sab you or get someone else to sab you.  :blink:  

yes, the way the game is designed, u must first become unsabbable and then start bulidng your SA and DA...........

Or hope whoever you hit has a lower ca than you and fewer friends!

Attack Turns 1,272 muahah

I only have a pitiful 30 attack turns.  I guess I'm impatient or something.  They go to good use though :)

1349 atk turns, I haven't attacked anyone since I began to be sabotaged, I'm never strong enough to take anything, and I don't want anything else to be destroyed.

98 attack turns...just letting them build up and then i attack like crazy in the middle of the night like a thief in the darkness...get my lewt and upgrade my spies.  It has been working well.

i have about 100 now
i'm leaving only from turn gold and awaiting a huge war in the end of the age in which i can payback our enemies.

Can I ask what everyone is saving turns for?

The best farms are people with more men than you and lower rank  :rolleyes:  

Right now I'm saving turns because I'm having trouble finding farms worth the attack turns. In age 1 the longer the age went the easier it seemed to find farms with good money. Why waste the turns now?

Isn't age2 nearly finished? Do they give some sort of warning before it finishes?

in age1 accounts didnt become inactive if u didnt log in, so many many that stopped playing became our god farms.. :/ god bless age1 :P - 240 turns

I think I have a relatively good farm  LOL , he is like tripple+ my size and has pretty low DA so I can attack him and he doesn't even take a point away from my weapons  :P

see.. low DA  :P ... I know that isn't much money compared to alot of you, but it kinda is for me  :D  

Heh I'd be real happy with a farm like that  :D  

Oooh grrr I'm jealous. I'd love having a farm like that, and my SA is eight or nine times yours.

that's my usual type attack, I just had the exceptionally high one the once LOL  

Hmm... looks like I was wrong that my farm wasn't that great  LOL ... looks like some of you would really like to have him  :P

This one is even better than that last one  :)

Thats rubbish
*edit*  205,547 Gold stolen 15  

Well, yes...

You overwhelmed the enemy!
As ***********'s army runs from the battlefield you examine the collected spoils:
 You stole 387,564 gold from ***********!
 You return to camp, your troops elated from your glorious victory.

But I cannot find targets that always have that sort of money available for the taking when I want it.  I have to surf for whoever happens to have been careless today...

I've gotten only 200k from my best attack.  Sigh.   :mellow:  

My best attack was 450k (preceeded by 250k and followed by 350k).

I don't ALWAYS hate sever downtimes ;)

42 attack turns =/

I agree with Arantor. The best return from a farm i get is the 200k-250k region. The best i've ever stolen was when the servers went down 900k odd. Really hard finding orc farms... <_<  

Is there a best frequency for harvesting your farms? Every day every other day, everytime they have over a certain amount of gold?  :D  

due to damage to weapons and the expense of fixing them, I try to hit when the farm has over 600,000.  Also, try to rotate between farms to not overfarm them :D  

You can't overfarm on orcs  :D  and if do they normally say something threat/begging whatever

As for best frequency, that would depend on the farm. Loads of men => Loads of gold per turn =>collect before they spend  :D  

Yeah, my standard farms don't usually give me much more than that.  But I've gotten where I don't attack those farms unless they have quite a bit of money (which becomes much less frequent the longer you farm them), and for new targets when I'm surfing I won't attack until I find somebody with over 400K gold.  I want at least 335,600 gold when the attack is over. :D

 Edit:  Oh my goodness, I just nabbed a fellow with over 2,000,000 :blink:

What if one of your farms comes back and warns you their a member of an alliance. Personally you may not care but do we worry about getting TGA in a war? Or just leave TGA out of it?

tell em that you're in a alliance as well, and therefore you suggest that it be kept strictly personal.  

...And if he gets really annoying, tell the rest of us and we'll take him out... Right, anyone?  :D
