Guide How To Capture / Destroy The City Of Trom (not Break Trom Physicly)

ok mods don't ban me i'm not glitching the map.
So lets say you are genaral of an army that aims to capture troms (for whatever reason) this is no easy task at all lets go over why

Also quick thing i thought this up while goofing off

I'ma just launch into it
Direct attack at the front gate
The area around troms is a thick dense jungle area swarming with mobs it's difficult to cordite a few people in
much less an army but if you manage to get what remains of your army to the front of troms... your still in for a hard time the land road thing leading up to troms is thin marching an army would be incredibly difficult and we'd be at another big problem for attacking troms. The fact that troms has 2 entrances ONLY. The main gate could easily closed to an attacking army and just like that you can't get in through the front gate.

The back/the passage
So if attacking the front doesn't work we still have another way in the back or the passage. This is a long narrow tube that connects the back of the pig man ravine to troms. Once again getting an army through a maze like ravine is super challenging. Though we do get around a problem of attacking the front gate... the gate. But still the passage is uper narrow you'd probbaly have to line up your army in lines of 4 and the army of troms could be easily stationed here or at the end waiting for an ambush. so this attack would also go south rather quickly.

Going over the mountains around troms
What makes attacking the city of toms hard is not only the 2 entrances... but where it's stationed. Directly in the middle of mountain ranges. It would be possible to get a few people in this way but would be practically impossible to move an entire army through this so this attack would also not work.

How to get it done
As much as all these problems above basically defeat the attack there is a way to do this with minimal loss of life as well. Apon quickly exploring troms you'll discover that they have no food farms or streams flowing in. I'll assume they get their food from an outside company/source and their water from the lake out front. And this is troms dent in their armor. Although attacking from the front side back or sourding mountain range would be almost impossible there is a way. And that way is starving them and depriving them of water. If you sent a 4 man crew in via the passage with the soul purpose of blowing it to pieces and an army to guard the front and trom begins to collapse. Their fountain in the front could Keep them hydrated for awhile but would probably get them sick considering the fact that there is always a villager or 2 swimming down there. That leaves 1 other water source the statute fountain but once again fountain not the healthiest to drink. So By simply destroying the passage and guarding the front gate troms could be defeated in a matter of months

TLDR
Destroy the passage and set an army in front of troms and they would crumple in months

 

This is interesting, noice post

It would be cool if someone did this for a city like ragni or almuj or llvegiar

 

Thanks

You just gave me something to do thank you

 

I tight this was about guild wars for a minute...

 

Nah i just got bored and felt like posting this

 

then we send in 1 warrior
who kills all the citizens and guards who wont fight back

 

Imma go at this from the point of view of a zombie invasion again :3
So looking at troms it has many defensive points.
1- 2 front gates before reaching the main city.
2- A funnel at the secret entrance which would be easy to defend. Just block off both ends and starve the attackers.
3- The castle and the market are both risen above ground with their own defensive features.

Judging from the houses there are only about 20 city soldiers, but it would be a popular location for soldiers in Wynn so roughly a further 20 would be there on visit.
Okay so now for the invasion. Zombies are too dumb to think of staving it out, they would go for a full on attack.

The path to the front gate is thin so I'd imagine they would go in a four wide line. Guessing that 2 zombies are killed every second, and they are coming from two directions, around 100m each, it would take 4 seconds to set back each group 1m.
This means that the 100m or 50s charge would be set back to a 62s charge, with 124 zombies killed.

When they reach the gate it would take around a minute for them to break it down with a battering ram. In this time 30 of Troms's 40 soldiers would retreat to the next gate for a tactical advantage -I will explain later- do it would be 1 zombie killed every 2 seconds with the lack of soldiers. That means by the time the gate is broken down a further 30 zombies will be killed

Once they breach the gate they will be in an open fight with ten soldiers, and again I will estimate at the soldiers being 10x stronger than the zombies. This means a further 100 zombies will be killed off. Along with the fact that 30 soldiers are shooting at them from the next wall, and the fight lasting 100s -roughly- another 150 zombies would die to the arrows.

After this a roughly 20m journey to the other gate would result in 10 zombies perishing. Once they reach the gate 20 of the soldiers would retreat to the castle walls, and market walls. With 10 soldiers defending and a minute until the gate falls, 30 zombies will die. Once the gate is broken another open battle will occur, again 100 zombies will die to the 10 soldiers. Then the twenty soldiers shooting from the castle and the market will kill off a further 100.

Once the zombies break through there is roughly a 50 block journey to the stairs, the zombies splitting up to attack the two groups of soldiers.
The market defenders they would cause a further 12 to die. Then going up the steps which wind around about 100 blocks, the incline would slow down the walkspeed so the twenty soldiers would take down 50 zombies. In the minute it takes to destroy the gate, another 30 zombies will die. Then in open warfare the soldiers would kill off another 100 zombies. Following that only the 10 soldiers at the castle will remain.

The final phase of the battle would involve the siege of Troms' castle. The stairway to the castle would be destroyed, leaving the zombies to break through the rubble in order the reach the castle. The stairway is about 25 blocks, and with dislodging a decent amount of the rubble will fall. So lets say every hit of the battering ram will take 10s each, and would dislodge 1m of rubble. This would take 250s to break through. In that time the soldiers in the castle would shoot down 125 zombies. Once the zombies break through the soldiers would retreat shooting until they reach the top of the castle, which is roughly 100m of walking -? idk- In that time a further 50 zombies would perish until there is nowhere to run and open warfare is called upon. The last 10 soldiers of Troms would kill 100 zombies before their demise. A kill squad of 20 would be able to clean up the king and defenseless citizens :(

So to conclude it would take a force of around 939 zombies to destroy the fort of Troms, with it being defended by a force of only 40 soldiers. Insane right? So lets just say that Troms is an insanely well defended city.

 

Just realized something, if they are just camping outside of Troms then they will be pummeled by arrows, they would need to block of exits more slyly in order to minimize deaths. Otherwise they'll die in the thousands under constant arrow fire, making the strategy more costly than an all out attack.
Just saying :P

 

Troms*

 

You can just put your army out of arrow range and kill everyone who tries to go outside with arrows yourself.... ._.
(Also i doubt that the city of troms has thiusands of arrows lol)
