Hello Niemand,
I played DTV several times, and if I may, I will give you some advice:
The following
- 5 shielders (3 for shieldwall, 2 for reserve) - Shieldskill 5+
- 2 to 3 Archers
- 2 to 3 bihand- or polespammers - that are able to attack without damaging the shieldwall.
is not the best team to have good results: in this gamemode archers are almost useless, and shielders too.
I am talking about the stong enemies, because those from 1(peasants) to 5 (searaiders) are very easy to defeat, you can even just charge.
Rohirric riders/marksmen/knights are still quite weak, but you need to camp the ruins.
With the Vitez it becomes quite difficult: you can't go out the ruins because they are good crossbowmen,and most of them have heavy armour and GL Bardiche.
Sexy, and following enemies are only possible to defeat if you have a good team.
Also, remember that on a public server your team will probably be not alone, there will be leechers and noobs, that will increase the number of bots.
The strategy my team used, that made us win several times against the Vitez, is to have a full polearmers/flambergers group, that stand in a semi-circle inside the ruins, with reserve troops behind them; kill the enemies that come inside and don't charge, except to kill the enemies who are stuck.
You have to focus on the main entrance to the ruins, because the bots won't come from behind or from the ladder, unless some of your soldiers stand there and lure them in.
If you want to win, however, DTV will not be just free XP and gold, because you need to use heavy armour and weapons.
btw if you want I will join your group, if you find also other people.
