This guide explores effective strategies for conquering the Barbarian Village
I. Understanding the Enemy: Barbarian Mechanics
Part 4: Ground Combat Tactics – The Perfect Formation
Since Barbarians have no walls, standard battle formations apply, but here is the optimal economical composition:
Step 2: The Naval Bombardment
Send 10-20 Ballista Ships to attack the Barbarian Village. They will automatically engage the defense towers. Wait for the battle report – all towers must be at 0 HP.
Step 5 – Breach the Wall
If the wall is level 5+, send at least 5–10 Catapults or Battering Rams. Set their target to “Wall” in the battle configuration screen. Without wall breach, your units suffer +200% defensive penalties.
5. Step 3 – Executing the Attack
- Select your army in the Barracks or Parade Ground.
- Click the Barbarian Village → Attack.
- Choose attack formation (e.g., Flank for archers, Line for balanced).
- Send the fleet with troops and a Merchant Ship (holds loot).
