Historical Cities
Disclaimer: This guide is for the more advanced players. I know this isn't revolutionary, but this is a guide for all the collected knowledge about Historical Cities to remain. Many thanks to the pioneers of the Age II that have helped tremendously by testing, reporting, and correcting were needed.
Synopsis of Guide: This guide is being created to store the massive amount of data about Age II's greatest feature: Historical Cities. Here you will find not only scouting reports and abilities of Historical Cities, but also how you can take a Historical City. I will be working more methods as time goes on, so this is but a portion of what the finished guide will look like.

Note: There is a level 100 King/Queen in every single lv 12 Historic City. They have an estimated 300 attack/intelligence, along with whatever leadership is needed to control the millions of troops he/she has under her/his control. You cannot caputure the King/Queen in a lv 12 Historic City. There is no known variance between a King/Queen
Abilities of a lv 12
Capturing a Mini-Capital City(this is what I call them) will give you the equivalent of colonizing everything within 374 square miles of you. With a Mini-Capital City you can use Sow Discord, Draft, Disarm troops, Re-deploy Population, and levy food for EVERY SINGLE CITY within 374(22x17) square miles of you. You also get a lv 12 Farm, Ironmine, Quarry and Sawmill, with the ability to build level 12 resource fields(you need a mich script to get to lv 10, but you do not need one to upgrade to lv 11/12)
Note: You must be an Earl if you want to impose policies on other cities.
Methods on How to Capture
Intro: The problem I see a lot of times is that many players do not spend money on this game, do not have Historic Heroes, and quite frankly don't have the super heroes that many guides, say to have. It is just out of their capabilites. This guide will give you ways to take a Historic City from attack levels from 200-500. That way, everyone is happy.
Read below
Lately I have recieved multiple PMs about how "my method fails." This is actually hilarious to me. Why? because every single person that has sent these PMs have hit the lv 12 with the wrong combination, and got wiped. So just putting this notice in here in big numbers to hopefully stop the PMs about the same topic, every single time.
This theory ONLY works for the troop combination: Cavalry/Swordsmen/Battering Rams.
Attacking w/ 200 Attack hero(at least 100 leadership)
Preparation: Before you attack a lv 12, you must first prepare a bit. First your going to need to have at least 7 200 attack heroes with 100+ leadership. Anything less, and this method won't work. Your also going to need 1 city 1 mile away from the Historical in question(loyalty spamming city), and 1 city relatively close to the Historical City in question(spearhead city). You will also need to have a War Horn applied. Penicillin will gave you 3% of your troops back. Don't waste a corsolet on these attacks. They have minimal effects. Obviously, you will need an open city slot.
Spam waves- 3k Warriors. If you have some extra cities that you can send from, send small short waves of 3k warriors that will help take down t/a/d.
Wave 1- 100k Warriors. This wave will clear ~10k Cavs, which is necessary with a low attack hero.
Wave 2: 100k. Clears Cavs, Archers, and ~25k Swordsmen.
Wave 3: 94k Archers, 2k Pikemen, 2k Swordsmen, 2k Warriors. Clears 80k Swords.
Wave 4: 94k Archers, 2k Pikemen, 2k Swordsmen, 2k Warriors. Clears remaining Swordsmen and 85k Warriors
Wave 5: 96k Archers, 2k Pikemen, 2k Swordsmen. Clears 325k Warriors.
Wave 6: 96k Archers, 2k Pikemen, 2k Swordsmen. Clears 325k Warriors.
Wave 7: 98k Archers, 2k Warriors. Clears remaining troops/fortifications
Loyalty waves: Space all your attacks with 30s between each wave. This way, you will have a wave hitting every 30s. Your waves should look like this: 15k Archers/30k Warriors. Make sure you send 10 at a time. Also, switch all your heroes to Wiseman set for their gear, and make Mount level 0 to avoid confusion. By the 40-50th wave set, you will have captured your lv 12 HURAH!
Total Troops needed: 800k Archers, 500k Warriors. 574k Archers and 100k Warriors in your spearhead city.
Attacking w/ 300 attack Hero
Preparation: Before you attack a lv 12, you must first prepare a bit. First your going to need to have at least 6 300 attack heroes with 100+ leadership. Anything less, and this method won't work.

You will also need to have a War Horn applied. Penicillin will gave you 3% of your troops back. Don't waste a corsolet on these attacks. They have minimal effects. Obviously, you will need an open city slot.
Spamming Waves: Spam waves- 3k Warriors. If you have some extra cities that you can send from, send small short waves of 3k warriors that will help take down t/a/d.

Ending note: A big problem with this guide is the fact that most people have a wide range of heroes. Ex. I have HenryIV at 500 attack, and some regular hero at 400 attack. Well that's a problem of course. What you have to do next actually requires some brain power, so bear with me. Use the kill rates of the heroes and form your own battle plan. So let's say you have all 500 attack heroes, and 1 600 attack hero. Use one of the waves mentioned in the 600 attack hero section, and plan your attack accordingly.

Basically, theres one every state. If you plan to make an alliance in a particular state, I'd advise you to put your central base around one of these cities
7 million Warriors
1,016,665 Swordsmen/Pikemen
428,070 Archers
677,777 Cataphracts/Cavalry

5,000 Rockfall
22,000 Traps
11,000 Abatis
Abilites: A State Capital is the equivalent of colonizing the whole state. Maybe not as good as Atlantis, but still an amazing prize. With a State Capital you can use Sow Discord, Draft, Disarm troops, Re-deploy Population, and levy food for EVERY SINGLE CITY in the state. You also get a lv 16 Farm, Sawmill, Quarry, and Ironmine.
Level 18- Gold Flag
Atlantis.

Abilitis: Atlantis is the equivalant of colonizing the whole server. That's how amazing this city is. With Atlantis you can Sow Discord, Draft, Disarm troops, Re-deploy Population, and levy food for EVERY SINGLE CITY in the server. You also get 1 lv 18 Farm, Sawmill, Quarry, and Ironmine.
Before you attack a lv 12 w/ mechanics you must first prepare a bit. First your going to need to have at least 2 450 attack heroes with 125+ leadership. Anything less, and this method won't work. Your also going to need 1 city 1 mile away from the Historical in question(loyalty spamming city), and 1 city relatively close to the Historical City in question(spearhead city). You will also need to have a War Horn applied. Penicillin will gave you 3% of your troops back. Don't waste a corsolet on these attacks. They have minimal effects. Obviously, you will need an open city slot. Only use this method if you already have a lv 12 conquered.
Spamming Waves: 5k Warriors. You'll need at least 30 of these. This is a very important step because you don't want to cut down Ballistae losses as much as possible, and DTs will hurt your Ballistae pretty bad.
Wave 1: 121k Archers, 1.25k Swords, Pikes, Warriors. This will clear Cavs, Archers, and ~90k Swordsmen.
Wave 2: 120k Ballistae, 1.25k Workers, warriors, Pikes, Swords, and Rams.
Example report:
Level 14- Green Flag

Abilities: Capturing a Sub-Capital city(this is what I call them) will give you the equivalent of colonizing everything within 4356 square miles of you. With a Sub-State Capital you can use Sow Discord, Draft, Disarm troops, Re-deploy Population, and levy food for EVERY SINGLE CITY within 4356 square miles of you. You also get a lv 14 Farm, Ironmine, Quarry, and Sawmill. You are allowed 6 policies per day.
