       AvA is coming - Part 3
       By: Rohanne Storme Date: December 18, 2013, 4:15 am

       I know you missed the "poll of the day" so here we are  ;)
       During next AvA we will need to plan how to garrison and attack
       and we could find out to have some over- or under-represented
       kind of Sworn Swords. For this reason I kindly ask you to tell
       us how many SS you have and, please, also take the time to
       briefly describe their kind.

       I have 14 Sworn Swords at the moment, all Peerless except the
       starting one.
       Intrigue: 2 Steal (lvl 23 & 19); 1 Spy (lvl 21); 2 Sabotage (lvl
       21 & 7)
       Trade: 1 Barter (lvl 19); 1 Bribe (lvl 22); 3 Swindle (lvl 21,
       18 & 11)
       Battle: 2 Harass (lvl 20 & 18); 1 Fight (lvl 21); 1 Aid (lvl 14)
       The next one will probably be a Fighter, since this should be
       one of our most common attacks during AvA.

       I have 17 SSs with 6 of the peerless.  Breaking all 17 down
       according to level and ability gets a bit daunting, but since
       I'm looking at a reincarnation early in the phase, those
       peerless ones are divided:
       1 Vanguard (Fight at level 17)
       2 Skirmishers at levels 16 and 11
       1 charlatan rank 17
       1 agent rank 17
       1 Merchant rank 14
       All of them get decked out with the best stuff and their main
       jobs are the challenges and the quests in the early part of the
       game after reincarnating, which is why they don't level very
       quickly.

       I currently have 24 Sworn Swords but only 3 of them are peerless
       ( Vanguard lvl 19, Merchant lvl 19, Thief lvl 19) the rest are
       between 17 and 22 ( 3 Vanguards, 2 Skrimishers, 2 Protectors, 2
       Agents, 2 Saboteurs, 2 Thiefs, 4 Merchants, 2 Charlatans, 2
       Corruptors) but when the AvA war starts they all become thiefs
       lol. I was thinking that I should buy SS just to garrison them
       as I don't want to lose any of my other SS, but I don't know if
       they would be useful if they're just lvl 1.

       Ummm...34.  But at least 8 of those were bought since the end of
       the last phase and I've been training most of them up as
       garrison specialties.  Training that many becomes a daunting
       effort!  Not to mention trying to equip them all.  My forges
       have been running hot and continuous, crafting pikes, calvary,
       shields and other defensive units and gear.  I'm currently
       level 122 in my first incarnation.
       I have 8 peerless or legendary swords who will not be defending
       but will be attacking within their specialty as well as running
       other challenges.
       I have 5 rare SS who will also be attacking plus running for raw
       materials.
       Garrisons DO die all the time.  When a SS dies, you can bury
       them or bring them back.  Bringing them back requires that you
       spend whatever silver you bought them for.  So restoring your
       peerless will set you back 24,000 stags.  I can do a LOT of
       upgrades for that much silver! And if I can get my common troops
       up to 15 or so, then it is up to the roll of the dice.  And
       anyone who has mass adventured and lost 5 in a row despite 2:1
       odds knows what I'm talking about!
       That is still 21 common and uncommon swords for active AvA.  Not
       all of them are equipped for defense but breaking them down as
       likely defenders:
       5 Vanguard (fight)
       4 Skirmisher (Harass)
       3 Swindlers
       2 Merchants
       1 Corrupter (bribe)
       3 Thieves
       2 Spies
       1 Saboteur
       Obviously, my merchants won't be defending, but will be
       bartering.  And several were not necessarily trained that well,
       with the average rank being about 12.  The entire concept of
       specially trained and armed garrisons is not well-tested, so I'm
       anxious to see how they do.  I've been just throwing whoever is
       the cheapest one I can afford to lose in there!

       no time to fully list them, but think I am at 20, all commons so
       disposable
       most are harass/steal/trade
       will stock up on more as available so replacements will be handy

       34 SS
       19 Peerless for attack and mats farming - 2 of each specialty +1
       extra Sabotage guy that has stats in all base groups for PtP
       Defense.
       15 non-permanent to be used for garrisons and attacks as needed.
       7 of the lower ones are pure scrappers, many of the rest are
       tanks, with a mix of main points plus specialty.
       3x lvl 21
       2x lvl 20
       7x lvl 19
       13x lvl 18
       4x lvl 17
       3x lvl 16
       1x lvl 15
       1x lvl 2 =)
       I will likely be adding a few more low level barter children to
       the pile.
       I'm addicted to minions, what can I say?

       maybe  I am missing somenthing  ???
       The separate informations about SS (btw without equipment)  and
       character level  are not very useful for planning, but the
       combined stats  :-\
       In my case I have 50 SS but only 40 Command points.
       with all SS the combine stats are over 1000 (40% 1000-1200, and
       60% over 1200)
       harass
       spy
       fight
       barter
       aid
       sabotage
       bribe
       steal
