It's generally a good thing to send overwhelming army so you won't lose any unit. 

PS that isn't how the raid mechanic works. What you kill is what you lose even at pretty extreme overwhelms. Different mechanic to say attacking beacons.

What you would do is send a winning force in the smallest troop stacks so your losses round to zero (or preferably spy first and use thieves)

Yeah this is one thing that I can't say I understand. Thanks for clarifying.

And noone asked about pushing so I won't explain it lol

Well, if they're active in a active league they should know this trick anyway.

Also, it seems resource production in an inactive castle is lowered? Or at least it seems that way to me. Unless I'm imagining things. One more thing I'm not sure about.

Intelligence Gathering

• A planted troop (archer, pike or wraith), can give you an insight into who raids an inactive castle, when, and with what type of units. 

Data from such missions will give you various tactical advantages, including letting you know when a raid has completed, and thus the possible time zone of the player.  

If you have troops in multiple castles in the area, you may also get the players raiding pattern. If you know that he waits to send out all 10 raids at once, normally doesn't spy the inactive's first, tends to hit the same castles every day, and is most active in the early morning hours, you have the opportunity to set a trap for his raiding troops. 

You can also calculate the travel times for returning raiding troops, giving you an opportunity to send an attack to meet them as they return. Not recommended for Bot castles since the turnover on those is high and pretty much random.

• Wraiths can be the best unit for such missions as it cannot easily be determined whether they were raised from the castle’s own crypt or not, thus causing very little concern on the part of a raider.  

• Varying the unit type and quantity of your planted troops can also give the appearance of activity (in the case where the player is inactive) if you can afford the losses and/or time. This might give you the opportunity to set a trap for a raider by making the inactive an attractive target for a larger attack, without risking your own castle infrastructure.

My Lords and Ladies,

this is the way how to use Forum capabilities properly. 

hello

I Have a question - is Raiding always reported? It appears that I was raided (2 out of 5 immortals were face down beginning recovery and there was a group of units to be revived in my infirmary) but I had no message of raid, spying or anything else. Members of my league that had reinforcements at my castle also saw no report? Could it have been something else or a glitch in the game?

would be interesting to know which troops are vulnerable to which other troops.  It does not seem that ranged troops have any different effect than the ones that need to get 'in your face'(melee).  IRL charging through a hail of arrows, should result in casualties, and the better trained those ranged troops are, the more enemy troops would fall

HOW TO ACHIEVE 100k raids 

I find it helps to have paragon switched on and carrying capacity turned on in heros boost ect 

This way you dont need to send as many units to carry out the raid 

send raiding party to target capable of 100k capacity= Make sure castle is lvl 40 and over to reap maximum rewards ..helps if castle is dead to save on casualties if its new target spy first ...

Final stage = cancel your caravans travelling to target after the raid has hit i generally leave 4 seconds then cancel ....if you do not cancel it will not affect your total gain but you will lose the resources sent in the caravan ...

GUARANTEES

nothing in stormfall is a certain many factors can scupper your 100k raid for one instance your target must give max payout of 50k if the target has been hit a number of times before you then the resources will be empty gather your intell know your raiding targets reap the benefit of 100k raiding ...
