Mine occupying guide

We just took a level 5 with over 2x the amount of suggested troops his guide has and lost 5k cat and 4k cav :/

Such a liar I had 4000 cats 1001 archers and 1002 inf and didn't get a mine. Thanks to you I'm probbly down to 15 members from just loosing all my troops your annOying. Thanks for making me loose all my troops.

kubuto, you shouldn't have listened to this guide. The numbers he suggests are basically the BARE minimum to cap an occupied mine. You'd lose a good half of your troops following his troop guidelines. Tim, you probably should have changed your numbers so that you have only a fair amount of losses. Like for lvl 1 mine, you are SOOO stretching it at 3k cats. I recommend 4.5k cats for lvl 1 mine. For future references on alliance war guide please go to beastly's Excellent guide at:

It's much more accurate and detailed.
And to everyone else, you will always have some decent amount of losses because the computer will not target single unit blockers. It will target whatever units that allow the maximum "kill potential" per se, for cats. So any way you try to go at it, you will have lose quite a few thousand units. Esp. in the case of a lvl 5 mine

It is impossible to take an unoccupied mine without any losses. Their cats will always hit yours first.

Thats wrong.LOL

Please show me an alliance war report against an UNOCUPPIED mine where your cats hit the NPC cats first. I suppose you could build a bunch of archers for support and lose only 1 inf, but that's a lot of wasted upkeep leaving you weak when having to face other alliances. Either way, your cats won't hit NPC cats first.
