Combat speed cavalry > range catapults

[drinkswitafist]

it had to be 2 rounds bro only 20 cats they only fire once per round at 1 target because of accuracy they kill looks like 16 lc round 1 while lc is running to them then another 16 while lc engages them and kills them all

I do not understand this situation of the game

20 cats attack 100 cl; 68 cavalry survive. 0 catapults

Range cats= 2228 < 2240= Combat speed cavalry

Other information:
Cats: life: 1440; defense:102;attack:2890; speed:116
Cavalry Life:1740; defense:114; attack1170; range: 100

Scenary ideal:
accuracy:0,8=>In a round the catapults kill 16 cavalry

Rounds:
cats attack cav and kill as if it was two rounds, because they kill 32 cavs
cavalry kill cats.

I wonder: If the speed of the cavalry is bigger than the range of the catapults. How is it that this is two rounds?. It seems to be logical that this was a only round

Thanks Bad. However, I got as confirmation from Kabam support saying that it is always the fastest troop that will always defend first. So who should I be taking this info from? Is there an official literature on what troops defend first that does not change according to conditions whether bugged or not?

This is a response when I checked last;

Greetings XXXXXXX ,

Thank you for writing in regarding these battle reports. I'm sorry to hear that these battles did not go the way you were hoping. In regards to battle report # 39475400, your Troops focused on the Supply Wagons first as they were the first Troop of the enemy to reach you first. If you look at the speed of these Troops, they had the highest amount, followed by the Swordsmen. Due to the number of Troops located in the cit, there were just too many Troops for your Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry to overcome. In battle your Troops will always focus on the Troop type that will be able to reach them first and keep going down in that order."

Both are right...technically.

Troops will TARGET the opposing troops based on the priority list...which for the most part is by Range, but there are some rearranged differently. HOWEVER, they are not going to ignore an enemy troop that is in Range to get to another that is higher on the attack priority list. They will fight whoever they can reach...but their main goal are those troops at the top of the list.

That's why people use walls of scouts as a buffer for higher troops...the scouts will reach the attackers fairly quick and "keep them occupied" while the other troops move up and get into range to attack back.

Thanks BAD. So given the report posted by Regal, the enemy could not have jumped over the swords to attack the MMs instead of attacking the swords which are in range to them. How does one then know if the troops will pick which? IN priority list, Swords are higher than MMs. What causes them to omit this priority?

That's where the speed comes in...Swords move faster than Militiamen do...so, they will get ahead of the militiamen, essentially playing "Operation Human Shield"...lol
