Please post any general hints or tips you may have hidden up your sleeves!
Here's one you probably know:
Ideal raiding fleet.
1 LW 2 SW 3 SM (or more)
3 ST 3 Spears
With that you never lose anything, apart from that dreaded random 0.5% chance or something, but then you will only lose a small fleet.

I think you forgot to say that the number of SM always needs to be one less than the total number of LW+SW. You can do for instance 3 LW, 5 SW, 7 SM, 6 ST+6SF without losses, but not 8 SM, but you can do 2LW, 7 SW, 8 SM, 7 ST+6 SF. I think.... ;D

I usually raid with 2/2/3 for most isles, and 3/3/5 if I find there are more resources on it.

I tend to use just 3LW + 3SM + 3SF or 4LW + 4SM + 4SF.
No losses and low chance to lose fleet, although I must admit that I have lost a 5LW + 5SM fleet randomly (depsite its low chance of ~0.1%)

can you destroy a stonewall completely with cats and if not is there a safe fleet to send against it so that you dont recieve losses? Well, I have a formula of sorts for attacking isles with level 1 wall. It's not fixed, but you need more LWS than SMS, for example 10 LWS and 9 SMS. Then I add in about half the SWS of the number of LWS, in this case 5. I then man then with 4 or 5 of each type of soldier, 5 stoners, 5 spears and 5 archers to spread the damage around. Not more than that. In total you get 10 LWS, 5 SWS, 9 SMS, and 5 of each soldiers. This type of force usually takes no losses. A larger force on the same formula would be 25 LWS, 10 SWS, 21 SMS, and 5 soldiers of each type. I hope that helps.

i want to colonize an island that has no troops, no stone wall, and a mainhouse 10. I have 2 catapults. Does someone know a fleet that will not take a loss while carrying those 2 cats? I figure it will take 2 attacks to take the island.

I think you need a 3 cats to knock down a level 10 main house to level 1, but generally any decent-sized well-balanced fleet will not lose the two cats.

I was wrong. The main house was level 11, but Natmus was right about the decent-sized well-balanced fleet. Large Warships 10 0 Small Warships 5 0 Small Merchant Ships 9 0 Stone Throwers 5 0 Spearfighters 5 0 Catapults 2 0 Units of herrscherlose Insel Total Losses Plundered resources Gold 590 Stone 544 Lumber 308 Destruction Main House Level 8 (Destruction: 3) I'll have to hit it at least once more but at least I wont take a loss doing it this was an island with no defenses what so ever.

The combo I use for unruled isles is 6 LWS, and 6 sms. Simple and easy to remember.

It works with any number, just the same number of each. Just need 3 of each to have a good chance of success. 2 of each will generally lose, but 3 of each will win like 95% or so.
