NPC farming & resource raids

A raid is a supply operation

NPC farming means repeatedly attacking camps for resources. A successful farming plan considers the fight, the carrying capacity, the travel time, the food consumed, and the cost of replacing losses.

Scout before choosing a force

Review the garrison and defenses. The supplied world includes camps from level 1 through 10. Higher levels need more preparation; a troop count that worked on a weaker camp does not establish a safe force for a stronger one.

Range and carrying capacity do different jobs

Ballistae have 1,400 base range and are described in the rules as a camp-farming option. Transporters have 5,000 base carrying capacity each. Siege power can help win a fight, but carrying capacity determines how much you can bring back.

Measure the real return

1. Record the resources returned and the total travel time.
2. Account for march food costs and any losses.
3. Check whether the report suggests a safer target or a better composition.
4. Recheck the target as garrisons and stores recover.

No fixed lossless army is claimed here. Results depend on the target, defenses, research, heroes, troop mix, and current conditions.
