Hey guys so I was a little bored in Stormfall and I just finished the Uninvited Guest Quest. I thought it would be fun to Raid Battlegrounds with my entire Offensive force plus the 5x Dragons and 25x Wyverns I got from doing the quest. I decided to keep going in a kind of Survival Challenge until my Army was defeated.
Things To Note:
- Battle Result Images are watermarked with "Stormfalldatabase.blogspot.com" (Sorry to do this, but my articles and images keep being stolen by bbgsite)
- My Paladins were upgraded to Level 13
The following are my full results from the Battlegrounds Raid Challenge:
Battleground Type: Ogre's Cave Level 14
Units Sent: 5x Dragons, 20x Wyverns, 1x Warlock, 1x Imperial Knight, 37x Wraiths, 425x Paladins, 1x Pikemen
Units Lost: 2x Wyverns, 4x Wraiths, 41x Paladins
Experience Gained: 134 XP
Spoils of War: 2x Skull Runes, 2141 Gold, 1425 Iron, 2332 Food, 1x Warlock
Not the greatest of Spoils of War, but I didn't lose THAT many units.
Battleground Type: Orcish Altar Level 15
Units Sent: 5x Dragons, 18x Wyverns, 2x Warlocks, 1x Imperial Knight, 33x Wraiths, 384x Paladins, 1x Pikemen
Units Lost: 1x Dragon, 3x Wyverns, 5x Wraiths, 60x Paladins
Experience Gained: 152 XP
Spoils of War: 2x Skull Runes, 2x Demons, 11x Warlocks
I was happy getting 11x Warlocks and 2x Demons, but overall it was a total loss in offensive power for me. Basically 10,000 lost and almost 8,000 gained from the 11x Warlocks.
Battleground Type: Catacombs Level 16
Units Sent: 4x Dragons, 15x Wyverns, 13x Warlocks, 1x Imperial Knight, 28x Wraiths, 324x Paladins, 1x Pikemen
Units Lost: 1x Dragon, 3x Wyverns, 3x Warlocks, 6x Wraiths, 67x Paladins
Experience Gained: 168 XP
Spoils of War: 2x Skull Runes, 2x Demons, 15x Warlocks
Similar to the previous Raid, I lost more than I gained. I gained 15x Warlocks (Almost 11k Offense), but I lost almost 14k Offense from my Units Lost. The 2x Demons was a nice bonus, but they will just be added to my Defense.
Battleground Type: Orc Encampment Level 17
Units Sent: 3x Dragons, 12x Wyverns, 25x Warlocks, 1x Imperial Knight, 22x Wraiths, 257x Paladins, 1x Pikemen
Units Lost: 1x Dragon, 4x Wyverns, 7x Warlocks, 7x Wraiths, 77x Paladins
Experience Gained: 178 XP
Spoils of War: 2x Skull Runes, 18x Necromancers (16k Offense)
This was surprisingly almost even for me. I lost about 17k in Offense, but I gained 16k Offense from the 18x Necromancers. Up until this point this was the best Spoils of War I had ever gotten from a Battleground Raid.
Battleground Type: Ogre's Cave Level 18
Units Sent: 2x Dragons, 8x Wyverns, 18x Warlocks, 18x Necromancers, 1x Imperial Knight, 15x Wraiths, 180x Paladins, 1x Pikemen
Units Lost: 1x Dragon, 3x Wyverns, 7x Warlocks, 7x Necromancers, 6x Wraiths, 67x Paladins
Experience Gained: 208 XP
Spoils of War: 2x Skull Runes, 1x Pikemen, 26,059 Food
I thought I was doing so well in the challenge up until this Level 18 Raid. I lost a great portion of my Army and all I got as Spoils of War was 1x Pikemen and some Food. 1x the worst Offensive Unit and the least valuable resource; I mean come on! This one really killed me in the Raid Challenge, but I had to keep going.
Battleground Type: Orcish Altar Level 19
Units Sent: 1x Dragons, 5x Wyverns, 11x Warlocks, 11x Necromancers, 1x Imperial Knight, 9x Wraiths, 113x Paladins, 2x Pikemen
Units Lost: 1x Dragon, 3x Wyverns, 6x Warlocks, 6x Necromancers, 1x Imperial Knight 5x Wraiths, 60x Paladins, 2x Pikemen
Experience Gained: 219 XP
Spoils of War: 2x Skull Runes, 10x Wyverns
What shocked me the most was that my 1x Pikemen lasted up until this point. He gained a Pikemen friend in the Level 18 Battleground and then finally died at the Level 19 Orcish Altar. Aside from that I gained 10x Wyverns (About 16k Offense), but lost about 20x Offense worth of units. Almost out of Paladins and with no Dragons left I continued on to Level 20.
Battleground Type: Catacombs Level 20
Units Sent: 12x Wyverns, 5x Warlocks, 5x Necromancers, 4x Wraiths, 53x Paladins
Units Lost: 12x Wyverns, 5x Warlocks, 5x Necromancers, 4x Wraiths, 53x Paladins
Experience Gained: 253 XP
Spoils of War: None
This level 20 Catacombs was the end of the road for me. I though I would at least get to level 21 with 50 Paladins and 12 Wyverns, but I was wrong. The only thing I gained from this battle was some XP. Hopefully you all can learn from this information when Raiding your own Battlegrounds.
Conclusion: While I did gain a decent amount of Units Raiding Levels 14-20, I never really "Gained" anything, but some resources, Skull Runes and XP. Now while Battlegrounds may be beneficial when you have high end upgraded units, you should really only stick with lower level battlegrounds if you want to come out ahead.

I really appreciate you doing this test... it takes balls to lose that huge army for a experiment :P you will have to waste few days rebuilding to do something similar heh
ReplyDeleteIs there a limit for the spoils of war? Sometime I raid 10 times but get nothing..
ReplyDeleteI think spoils of war are random when Raiding battlegrounds. You won't get anything except resources for raiding players.
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks Ivan. I just wanted to test higher level battlegrounds out. I hope you guys can learn something from it.
ReplyDeleteActualy you should only do battleground with the units you can build and upgraded, that way you slowly stack up the number of elite units you can't build from spoil.
ReplyDeleteIs there a point where you outlevel certain battlegrounds? I'm raiding battlegrounds and getting nothing. Whats the mechanic?
ReplyDelete1st time you do the raiding quest, which is when you "level up raiding", you have 100% to get reward. after that each time you raid that level again, you have a random chance to get rewards. is that hard to notice?

ReplyDeleteYou have to lose troops in order to gain spoils, I have run many many BGs with no losses and I get nothing until i sacrifice some troops
ReplyDeletebut you will get great SoW when doing 35-45 BGs best are like 600-900 necromancers / 300-500 wywerns / 300-400 dragons + some random demons/griffins/golems 50-300 :) but it's kinda PAIN when you do 45 lvl BG and get nothing..
ReplyDeleteThe best thing to do is peck away at them. Don't send anything above cav. Build back what you lose and attack again. When you are finished you have lost nothing and then you hit big.
ReplyDeletefirrst of all make BGs weak using infantry and cavalry then raid it with Big units and after 2 or 3 BGs you will get all units back in the form of necros or wyvern
