Message:: [QUOTE="Hermione, post: 144, member: 1991476255"]Tips for Troop/Resource Protection Are you Being Farmed? Do you find yourself being attacked and all of your resources taken and your troops killed? Don’t fear, here are some tips for you!!! (I got most of these pictures from a previous reset, but the pictures are still relevant.) (If you have TIPS to add, add a comment) <ol> <li>Look at your resource protected capacity (view your profile and scroll to “Resources” section and look at the numbers you see there. In this example:<ol> <li>Gold Protected Cap, Food Protected Cap and Ore Protected cap are 872K x the 25.3% bonus cap (I got from research) making my total cap 1,076,920. If your gold food and/or ore are over the protected capacity, someone could scout you and see this, and they will attack you for it, no matter how small you are, or how much bigger than you they are. It’s free resources. Don’t let yourself be caught unshielded and over capacity. </li> <li>Increase the Resource Protected Cap by Upgrading your Townhall and Building and Upgrading Treasuries. These will make you able to safely protect more resources. Research adds a percentage to the protected cap (as shown in the calculations in the image. Protected Cap times 1 + the percent in decimal form. In my example, 23.5% would make me multiply my Capacity by 1 + 0.235 or 1.235.)</li> </ol></li> </ol> <img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/GoJLrvbZ5rUMgVN2rhY7gKSuf0amrb0Ob6Ri8bRC_eIt9ZMQGZueMNDSVqwLhUAXs62eeSPhO6hZkmKtLnxI8LAwsmHjrWjbQprZV5KanebDXElFJMblHdF-h5Imap-1yVSgEQ7m" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Here's where you can do research to increase your protected cap bonus.<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/WWCWG0VhV48qySsfpRuif00vSoAgXURrjzCUORC6xerV3FuFco3WfcSnypIezu9j2BtGXjrvLB1ZhUbV8URf3v7dsEYKy33SpHK90luvDbN4sC_-bqzBQZFG_g2My5XtYmD7_5kH" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <ol> <li>Troops: You want to keep these under your hospital and garrison capacity. To find this capacity, look in the same player profile, but scroll down a little further. You can see the Garrison Cap right now is 5 (increase this with research) the Hospital Cap is 38.9k (increased with research and upgrading your hospital and building/upgrading your wards). That means that if someone attacks you, you should be mostly safe from losing all of your troops. In this example You DON’T want to train over your capacity. (38.9k troops that are generally safe in this example.) [S]If they have a higher troop lethality than you do, you will still lose some troops.[/S] [S]There is also a base lethality (2% subject to change with testing)[/S]</li> </ol><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/kwlqq6Xzt3p5eowbuKK8aU6xS7K-0Q6m_AA06OPD08x-_wK27LyJecV1xFdH5NKiLNHLcKWIRGC0TbmVfEcV87SO7YxmvD69Uu4Wy3weHQffDSd2vGXDTk2O-E8Psf2HbkoGE7s_" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <ol> <li>If you train over your hospital capacity and garrison capacity, you will take the risk of losing all of those who are over that capacity if you go to sleep without protecting them. Once your hospital is filled with injuries, your troops will start to die. There are no more beds in your hospital to hold them, so they can’t be treated. That’s why it’s suggested that you stay under those protective capacities to stay safe. Your troops are like ammunition (bullets) used for war. They are replaceable. They get injured, they die, you build more. It happens. Don’t get too attached to them. </li> <li>One way to protect the troops you do have is to shield. Shielding protects your troops and resources. You also need to have shields to actually use them. Do dragon quests daily to get some for free. Different ones require you to hit different monster biome types (grasslands/badlands/swamp) Pay attention.</li> </ol><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/vHECkqDKNjE-JSO2aOTUh-5TW6ofZ_UiGElaussiCQTFI11VIE_fYwqWLems3mJBwtWvf8Dke5N5eZuWBkShLXL_hRw0vBUI3gHE8tsJ4S12E3RTYpZNp-x4Bg4hDjx8q9Kw7pHC" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/uVHXyhmBRGVeRNhCN56tOw13KImggriO_lgwRBnPsk-vlZO0Vyp29jdA3wmtxJqmYh_esRD8e2Ehj9nuMbRun0-V_i02aSSwFiRU2icsssXUYmdC20JzF1TdnrgAz22AtdTGolt-" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <ol> <li>If you don’t have shields, you need to get a little more creative. Stay under Resource protected capacity!!! If you’re over it, you deserve to lose whatever gets taken. </li> <li>Now that you are under resource protected capacity, you can start getting creative with troop protection. You are allowed to send troops to hide out in other people’s Cities. Take advantage of players who are shielded. Ask them how long they have left in their shield and send as many troops to “defend” them as possible. Even better if you can leave no more than 5k (or whatever your garrison cap) troops total in your city. The garrison cap is 100% protected from death and injury. Research the “City Defender March Cap” under Army Strength to get a bigger amount of troops you can send.</li> </ol><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/E1TkQqITzAfkE6Xw3hsdN_i1_hD_T87JEBpyh86VubZ9rTcXsE9UTozOGFIyb3MnzyUCe0H3VTTqmg2ewd2k0XYkmrfS59V7u7E2i6RvUkMbvSzHN-Pd3LV_7UAZ_HHka_1yhuA2" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <ol> <li>Another way you can protect your troops is to send them away to gather when you’re under attack. (Pay attention here. This is really a game of cat and mouse. You may end up having someone attacking your gathering nodes. You DON'T want to be hit on a node.) If someone attacks your city, you have no resources to lose anyway, so you may as well not lose any troops. Research “Dragon March Cap” whenever you see it in research. (there is more than 1 location) and you can send more troops per march. Leave no more than your Garrison Cap at home and your troops will be safe from both injury and death.</li> </ol><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cpI4fBlpn7Wo0e60lVUml7nIQp_riVaJdmKCirJgnunJdlEPage4IszOxQaP6WjgadAbG_9eerXUv5coww8PQ8xFOwuRIfkWZ5eBNicJ-Ep2XQgltCUoPrUdmLtDb0yjWb559TJ2" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <ol> <li>Another way to protect them is to start a “Ghost Rally”. 8 hour rallies are there for a reason. No one is really going to need 8 hours to prepare the clan to join a rally. It is there for you to hide your troops. The issue with this is that you’ll need to be reachable just in case one of your clan-mates accidentally sends their troops in one of your 8-hour rallies...So if you see rallies, look at how long they are going to take so yours don’t get stuck, and if someone gets theirs stuck...be kind and cancel your rally.</li> </ol><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/x-rKu0Uykk3YiT3TKIW0Vb0qG_tYEglhknS8cx-iGcvPilHBQKZGIjGSezcSUlclFOLq3ESOyVnN-kkdul8cH7V4yv327wIbnS5XcyVYZJ3Puv9Q60cDXU2RoioqtapChlmHew9m" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Some Useful Links: <a href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/how-to-train-your-dragon.72/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/how-to-train-your-dragon.72/">How To Train Your Dragon</a> <==Link<a href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/koh-guide.65/#post-140" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/koh-guide.65/#post-140">KoH Guide (For New Players in KoH)</a> <==Link<a href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/ally-trading-buying.95/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/ally-trading-buying.95/">Ally Trading/Buying (Guide for New Players)</a> <== link<a href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/more-unlock-orders.66/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/more-unlock-orders.66/">More Unlock Orders (Research and Upgrades in KoH)</a> <==Link<a href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/tips-for-resource-troop-protection.67/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/tips-for-resource-troop-protection.67/">Tips For Troop/Resource Protection (For New Players in KoH)</a> <==Link<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JwPV826E3mZ7lrlWgCb4X531R0E-VId9klLcdSL_EXg/edit#gid=786656243" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JwPV826E3mZ7lrlWgCb4X531R0E-VId9klLcdSL_EXg/edit#gid=786656243" rel="nofollow">Rude's TH Breakdown (might ore costs etc)</a> <== LINK<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KdMGsjJDoDZ870n3P7Ll-ddJEmx2-zf-6Dd0BTfJbqY/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KdMGsjJDoDZ870n3P7Ll-ddJEmx2-zf-6Dd0BTfJbqY/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">Rude's Calculate Ally Gold Loss</a> <==Link<a href="http://kingdomsofheckfire.com/faq/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://kingdomsofheckfire.com/faq/" rel="nofollow">KoH FAQs</a> <== Link[/QUOTE]
