Travian Hint: Formula of Building Destruction

by: Galleon | category: Travian Hint | No Comments

How many catapult needed to lower a building of a certain level by 1 level ? Assume no walls, palace, defenders or stonemason upgrades, nor upgrades in the attacker Blacksmith and population of the village equal to 550.

The following table shows the number you are looking for. Keep in mind that a single catapult will always die in an attack, so where it says 1, there must be additional accompanying troops for this to work. A star next to a number means that it is impossible to lower that level of building by only one level, the given number will lower it by 2.

Building Level	Whole Building	One Level
1	1	1
2	1	1*
3	2	1
4	3	2*
5	4	2
6	6	2
7	8	2
8	10	3
9	12	3
10	14	3
11	17	3
12	20	4
13	23	4
14	27	4
15	31	4
16	35	5
17	39	5
18	43	5
19	48	5
20	53	6

How to read the above table ?

The first coloum show the building level, and the last column (3rd) show us the number of catapult needed to lower those level of building by 1 level. The middle column (2nd) show us the number of catapult to completely destroy the building at certain level. For the last line, shown that we need approximately 53 catapults to destroy the whole building (building with level 20) and need 6 catapult to lower it by 1 level.

ps: this article is taken from other source on the net. The original can be found here. I personally added the additional hint to read the given table.

Travian Hint :

When the catapults fire, damage is dealt to the building, and, if a sufficient quantity of catapults is present, the building is completely destroyed. Otherwise, the building is only damaged a certain amount of levels, or not damaged at all. Sending more catapults increases the damage.

When catapults die during battle, they still fire, but the damage done to buildings is significantly decreased, if not totally diminished, depending on how badly they were overwhelmed in combat. Therefore, the defense must be eliminated before catapults are worth using.

From another sources, I got some little different perspective :

The higher the level the building is, the more catapults it requires to destroy it. With no bonuses, in the absence of any defense, below is a list of the catapults necessary to destroy a building. The catapults of all 3 tribes are identically strong with respect to their capacity to damage buildings.
