        i recently just got back into the game.am i right in saying that the meat shield is gone and now your highest tier troops are only needed? if so does that mean i should only have 1 tier of troops if possible? thanks.

          depends.
          gunmuse has a new meat shield calculator so that would help about getting attacked.
          but for attacking purposes top 2 tiers seem to work best.
          at least for me anyway.

              The artillery and the distance meat shield? I looked at them but still a bit confused will need do more looking. Ive done 1 attack so farand it was only my distance that got kills in order of t4(highest kills) to t6(lowest kills). Also i was after getting a cavalry guard first so i was upgrading them as my main. But from the report it seems i should only use distance for attacking? Im sorry about all the questions its all new to me.

                Meat shields do work as far as castle attacks. My thoughts are thatyour highest tiered troops are an investment and you have to protect your investment. My first hand experience is that during a nwo event i was attacked several times and my t12 were not touched. My t2 inf , t2 cavs and t1 dis were the only ones affected by the several attacks i had on my castle.

                The meat shield is still important and helps absorb hits against your castle by sacrificing the lower (cheaper ) tiered troops to protect your attack marches. Ask 10 people about what the shield troop numbers should be and you will get 11 different responses 😂 With a well built shield you can eat significantly stronger player marches. From my own reports inf always take the damage first so maybe start there. I know some players have 1mil T2 inf and then 250k of each tier up to T10. Once that is built then move on to cav, dist and arty. Just my two cents, feel free to disregard.

                  The new firewall calculator replaces all other meat shield tables. It dynamically takes into account the 10 different people problem by focusing on your entered stats to try to determine where YOU are in the game play and what events you want to be focused on.
                  When you start building your firewall do it in 10%to 30% increments one color section at a time.

                  The RR links will always take you to CURRENT upload or the CURRENT Live event so good book marks.

                    I don’t understand the new fire wall figures. If I add up all the lvl 1-3 troops it means i need 8.9 mil troops just there? And 49 mil total up to level 12!! Is that right? I lookd you up Gunmuse C42 in K569 and there you only have 1.3 bit power. Surely you don’t have 10 mil troops? What am I missing?

                    PS Thx for the site. Keep up the good work.

                      With KR coming back next week, I’m trying to get a partial firewall built.
                      Is it okay to skip the Wooden & focus only on the Iron tiers?
                      Is a 1/3rd strength Iron firewall enough to make a significant difference against a C40+?
                      So far we haven’t been raided by anyone bigger than a C42 750k march, 16k Cav, 10k troop.
                      What would it take for me to be able to kill 250k of his march?
