Is it better to stay put in a castle to bombard, or to break out early for a village?

jleonnn, it is always better to stay put. Always. I almost only play 4 player ESC when I play feudal. Map-rank me. I am at 37% and grow higher the more I play them. Try playing a few FS Feudal ESC. Try some with breaking for a village and some with bombarding. See which ones you win. Within a few rounds it will become apparent which is the better strategy. Statistically, if everyone but you expands they will run into each other before you. Then they will fight while you build. Leave yourself an out and bombard away.

k. thnx

No prob. Join some of mine if you like. I don't get any challenges... =(

However so far, in many games I've played, I'm always the unlucky one that the noob finds. Either that, or if a noob eliminates someone, the 3 other experienced players know that whoever goes after the noob loses. So they wait it out so long till the noob has more troops then any of them, and in the end he has more of a shot of winning. Another thing I learned is that we shouldn't go after opponents for cards unless it is to finish the game. The number of troops will always be higher than the cash level. Think about it, every turn +5 on a castle and normally 5 for bonus. so when you have 60 troops the cash may only be at 15-20 troops. The only way you can regain those 60 is to triple cash, which is highly unlikely. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

I am not sure what you are getting at. My strategy is simple. Don't leave the castle until there is only one opponent left. It works. Never go for eliminations or cards. Just sit and bombard.

You can go for an elimination if you notice other players attacking each other. Say there are 4 players, you and another one sitting and bombarding. The other 2 fighting to the death. If they are high on cards, and cashes are high, it could be worth taking a stab at one of them, mid turn cashing and killing the next one.

You can't win if you go against a full castle, but if you time it right, eliminating the players that are weak from fighting will get you some wins.

Theherkman's strategy is good up to the part where he waits TOO long.

ok ty. I'll try a bit

You are correct. Waiting it out is the best until you see the best moment to get out and kill. Also waiting it out doesnt always pay when you get a noob that wants to take every region the can every turn, if you wait it out to long then the cook will win, but if you time it right then you can clear them out exp. on 1 v 1. Also depends a lot on forts range.

so when's the right time?

Usually when there is only one other player left.

Would this be feudal war, or epic map?
