With a Sub-State Capital you can use Sow Discord, Draft, Disarm troops, Re-deploy Population, and levy food for EVERY SINGLE CITY within 66 square miles of you. You also get a lv 14 Farm, Ironmine, Quarry, and Sawmill

Attacking w/ 300 Attack Heroes

Preparation: Before you attack a lv 14, you must first prepare a bit.

You will also need to have a War Horn applied. Penicillin will gave you 3% of your troops back. Don't waste a corsolet on these attacks. They have minimal effects.

First your going to need to have at least 22 300 attack heroes with 125+ leadership. Anything less, and this method won't work.
Your also going to need 1 city 1 mile away from the Historical in question(loyalty spamming city)
And 2 Level 12 Historical Cities relatively close to the Historical City in question(spearhead city).
Obviously, you will need an open city slot.

Loyalty waves: Space all your attacks with 30s between each wave. This way, you will have a wave hitting every 30s. Your waves should look like this: 30k Archers/30k Warriors. Make sure you send 10 at a time.By the 40-50th wave set, you will have captured your lv 14.


Note: If you are sending from multiple cities to loyalty spam, time your waves so they hit at a constant rate. The Archer/Warrior number is just a ratio. So if your waves hit every 15s, use 15k Archers/15k Warriors.

Ending note: A big problem with this guide is the fact that most people have a wide range of heroes. Ex. I have HenryIV at 500 attack, and some regular hero at 400 attack. Well that's a problem of course. What you have to do next actually requires some brain power, so bear with me. Use the kill rates of the heroes and form your own battle plan. So let's say you have all 500 attack heroes, and 1 600 attack hero. Use one of the waves mentioned in the 600 attack hero section, and plan your attack accordingly.

~Introduction~

As said in the title, this is a SIMPLE guide to capturing a HC14, meaning that it
doesn't require you to have any understanding of the Evony Combat Engine
doesn't require you to have Historical Heroes
doesn't require you to have Amazing Star levels, or heroes with over 200 Attack!
doesn't require you to have a Historic City of any Level
doesn't require you to use more then one city.
doesn't require you to use a war ensign

The Only thing you really need for this, is a few Million Archers and several Lv100 Heroes

What you have to understand when reading this, is this guide is designed for players that have a clue about how the turn based combat in Evony works, however it will work for everyone.

This Guide is a Simple and guaranteed way to take a Lv14 Historical City, that does not mean that it is the best way, in fact its quite far from it, this guides method, will give you the highest rate of troop death you can possible get from taking a HC14, However they key factor is YOU WILL CAPTURE IT, you can send over 10 Million archers and still fail without the right method of attack.

So what I am giving you is a guaranteed way to take a Lv14 Historical City, is there better ways? Hell Yes? Are there Losses less the half what you would lose using this method? Pretty much.
The Main difference is these Methods require complex knowledge about the Evony combat engine and understanding things that most of the player base doesn't understand and one small mistake in one of those methods can lead to a wipe of many more troops, causing the illusion that HC14 are unbreakable which they are.

You Please Enjoy my Guide and understand, there are better ways, but you won't get a simple blueprint for them, you will have to figure that out on your own as everyone else has.

Preparation
At the Absolute minimum you will need the following

Heroes
7 Lv100 Heroes with Base Attack of 65+ ( Recommended 10-20 Heroes with Base Attack 69+)

Troops
2,880,000 Archers (Recommended 4,000,000 Archers* If you Heroes have less then 300 Attack) (Recommended 4,500,000 Archers* If you Heroes have less then 250 Attack)
60000 Warriors (Recommended 200,000)
60000 Swordsmen (Recommended 200,000)

Cities
1 City, 1 Mile Away From the Target ( Recommended 9 Cities, with a city 1 Mile Away From the Target)


Method

Scout for RAM/PIKE/CAV COMBO
This method will work on this combo of troops and only this combo, attacking any other combo with this make up will result in a fail, with all your troops dying for nothing.


This is the part were it is really simple.
Wave 1: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 2: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 3: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 4: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 5: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 6: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 7: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 8: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 9: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior
Wave 10-Wave 30: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior

... Starting to see the pattern on how simple it is? You Only Ever send the exact same type of wave so it doesn't matter what order they hit as long as they hit within a 3Minutes from the First Attack, you can coordinate with several people and they just have to hit the time, not worry which wave it will be.

Wave 31-Wave 35: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior (Only If you Heroes have a average of less then 300 Attack from all attacks)
Wave 36-Wave 40: 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior (Only If you Heroes have a average of less then 200 Attack from all attacks)

That's it, No Diffrent Mix Of Troops Each Wave, The Same Stuff Every Wave, Doesn't Matter What Order They Hit In

Loyalty Waves
If your Waves are hitting less then a minute after the last breaking wave you will only need
40K Archers 40k Warriors

Otherwise if you are only hitting it from one city

Continue to send 96,000 Archers // 2,000 Swordsmen //2,000 Warrior spread out at a maximum of 30 seconds from each other in till loyalty is zero, Don't just send them in one go and wait for them to return, have them hitting every 20-30 seconds as this will keep the re-spawns from overwhelming you and losing more forces, 40 Waves Later, Congrats on your New HC14!


Now people are thinking that this about of losses are huge, any you are correct there massive but you will take one, using a incorrect method you can send double these troops and still fail, this way you will get a capture, you can use 1 person, you use your whole alliance, the attack on the heroes really does matter as long as there level 100, they will do damage, and you will break it, with a average attack of 350 on all your heroes you will do this in 25 waves, with better attack even less. At a Max with 165 Attack Heroes it will take you a full 4 Million archers and 40 waves to break it, but you will break it.

~Conclusion~

This is not the Best Method to Take a HC14, however it is the simplest and this is why I am sharing the information, I know better ways to attack them that work for me, but they are tuned to my heroes, as many other people also can take them with there own methods tuned to there heroes losing less then 1Million archers.

So I'm Sharing this because we have been silent for far to long about how to take these, its time we shared a little, this method isn't the best way but its a way, and it will save people that are losing over 5million archers using a incorrect methods, experimenting, but not even capturing the HC14 giving the Illusion that these things are unbreakable. This Method is a brute force method, it gets the job done, with any decent alliance it should be possible to coordinate a attack to take one, hey with only 20 members 200k each isn't much, and your you will get it for sure, not wasting Millions of archers as in the past.

Another reason I'm sharing this is to break the Myth that you can't take one of these without Mech, its completely untrue, and its even more expensive, Using Mech can lower your losses, and the Hint I Will give you is use them on once there are only 1M Warriors and Rams Left, you will take them all out and have a low loss to your mechs

Thanks for reading the Guide, I will update it to make it more simple when I have the time, good luck with taking a HC14.

OR BASICALLY THIS IS WHAT THE ABOVE SAYS LOL.
I PERSONALLY USE THIS METHOD SO LISTEN GOOD, THIS WILL BASICALLY BREAK A 14 FOR ANYONE WITH A 350 ATTACK OR HIGHER HERO

23:59:45 to 23:59:59 warrior spam waves for traps
00:00:00 to 00:00:05 (5) 125k pike waves
00:00:06 to 00:00:13 6) 125k mixed arch
00:00:14 to 00:00:20 (6) 125k naked arch waves
00:00:21 to 00:00:30 (15) 125k mixed arch waves

*note It is advisable to NOT break a 14 on your own unless your one beefy mofo. a team of 2-5 is great to spread losses out so your not severely weakened.

*note if it's not broke by now it's DAM close, so if its not scout it, and reconfigure as needed.

00:00:31 to 00:00:45 loy waves (30k arch) send all the arch you have and have others assist in loy but make sure they have full cities so your the only one to take it

*note swords take more mixed arch waves
