Just to clarify, I don't have trouble with manual defense except it took me around 30 minutes each defenses. I didn't modify anything with the default wall as it gives me space to move around. I tried auto defense and I only last until round 18 with all wall (no gate) and tower round the castle, full trap, discount princesses, full trees, and all gen around the castle. Baiting is not what AI cam do here as far as I can tell, but I might actually have all my gens in the middle of the castle and wait for enemy to come up instead of chasing them around. Some players suggest that, and it might be faster to clear defense. If I can do it in 15 minutes, I don't mind spend 2-5K food each time to fix my castle/wall. You can use Mocte in manoeuvre to repair walls and such, not sure if works on the castle though. |

Siege achievement seems pretty decent and long run. I am at 85/110 siege achievement. Still stay at 39/50 defense as defense suck. I am waiting for the option to reset defense lol  That's a bummer, I think I can't summon the motivation to go past 50 defense victories.. Maybe combining Sophia and some Fort generals plus letting the enemies come to you (as Nobunaga Oda, and Iron Duke, suggested) can reduce the time spent on this mode. |

I tried many times, as soon as you reach high level of defence it become very difficult to manage by just passive defence and turn skipping. Most of the walls are cracked around turn 7-8 when the second wave start to hit, after that they just swarm to the middle and even turtling with 16 generals doesn't help if you want to play passive, when the 3rd-4th wave comes they are all done. Fort generals and princess are helpful only if you play active but in this case you don't cut almost any time since managing tower is also time consuming. In passive mode 20% recovery or 270hp healing is nothing

I also lost any motivation about playing defence. The achievement for reach 50 defence was a nice 600medals but the next reward for 70 defence is a poor and useless 800silver. That is awful considering how hard are them and how useless is silver at that point.
The achievement for 110siege is 500medals also, that is not bad so I still playing them.

In passive mode 20% recovery or 270hp healing is nothing Semi-active defense would be an improvement already. Probably half of the time I spend on defenses is zooming in and out and moving generals to different corners to fight enemies and anticipate the last two waves. If it was possible to make them come to me and funnel them in one/two rows so they don't hit the castle/my gens simultaneously, maybe 15 minutes could be possible. But yeah, 4 more defenses and I'm out. |

Max everything in castle except silvers). Would be nice if I win 3 more silvers for 9,999 theme but didn't plan it earlier.  Iron Duke, Mocte is a good wall repair, and I do use mocte in my defense team. But when you are at my point or have farm max at level 10, you gain more than enough food for everything. The resources only cap at 100K, so repair wall/castle is not a big deal at all. Mocte is definitely a good choice for food reserve, but for full auto defense, it won't be effective as enemies are way too tanky/high damage for EW5 AI to handle. But you might figure out the auto-strategy for it. Repost my castle's database here if you need reference: imgur.com/a/h0AjNwgI only tried the full manual strategy (30+ minutes each for Defense 129+) and full auto (failed) strategy. I haven't bothered with semi active strategy (like sitting in the castle and bait enemy in). The semi active, in theory, should make it quicker as it reduce the times of moving your gen around the map. |

Right now there are two mode that are completely odd, one is the arena that is worth only for the awakened generals and the second is the castle that actually is meaningless since the is no competition once you get enough silver to buy 3 items.
There is no meaning to plan a perfect castle layout since there is no reward for resisting to invasion as well as does not matter how is set the enemy castle since all the sieges are ai controlled.
I hope there will be another update for those two modes

I want to see a maxed out Jhansi with Paladin armor in the team, then I'll be satisfied. |

It could be done but I it would be too OP and I have to give other players a chance for a win
love your new name YDE btw, I'll probably no longer see just a bottle of ketchup |

Just to notify, I've reached 180 silver reward in defence mode after a long time with 170, so now I'm wandering which is the cap
My daily income in silver bay playing 3 siege and 2 defence is around 800 silver(but I'm bored so I'm not playing them everyday) and you can only buy 20 medal at the market once per day...wasted and disappointed 😕

Based on my record, it only takes 17 battles of 170 silver to reach 180. And it took 22 battles of 160 to reach 170, and I do remember that I did question why 160 battles last too long before an increase.
180 silver per battles is probably the cap. I did 63 battles with 180 silver/defense before getting bored and quit lol.
Be warn though that the enemy does get tougher. In 160/170 battles, they have 1 evolution. In 180, so far, they have 4 evolutions. They become too tanky for me to simply auto the defense battle.

btw visiel , did you hit the cap of siege rewards? Is it 110 battles or even higher? |

So far is:
150 for sieges - reward 1000 medals(that's good)
70 for defence - reward 800 silver (no comment needed)
I don't know if they are the last ones, honestly I hope so because the only motivation I got is just finish all the achievement. Anyway I'm very close to reach them both in few days

jonblend, I cannot auto anymore as all enemy give same cap silver of 168 in siege so I lose some interest in siege. By cap I mean it's the highest silver at my progression (For ex: When you first do siege, 127 is the max silver rewarded). Stay at 128 siege/39 defense atm. Let hope sh88, will show us the last achievement
