Before you can think about taking a 12, you need to have the following troop count. In ADDITION to what you have in your other cities.
500k warriors
75k swords
75k pikes
600k archers
3 level 100 heroes (minimum)
This will allow you to run at least 10 loyalty waves as well as pick up any extra breaking waves that need to be done.
*You will need to port one of you cities next to the HC, the closer the better.
There are 2 combinations you are scouting for. Along with warriors and archers you are looking for:
swords/cavalry/rams
30x 3k warriors
2-4x 24k pikes/76k warriors (clear ALL cav's)
100k archers (kills defending archers)
1k workers/1k warriors/1k pike/1k swords/96k archers until done.
pike/cavalry/rams
30x 3k warriors
2-4x 24k pikes/76k warriors
1-3x 1k workers/1k warriors/1k pike/1k swords/96k archers (make sure ALL pike dead)
1k swords/1k pikes/ 98k archers (kills deffending archers
1k workers/1k warriors/1k pikes/1k swords/96k archers until done.
You will rarely have to take a HC by yourself. Let an officer know when your HC has the right combo and they will get a poll of who can help and set up a time to get you your HC.
