* 90% melee commander
** 90%ranged commander
tricks:
1. 90% ranged when using ranged in the commanders
2. 90% melee when using melee in the commanders
3. trade with people and get the closest recouce village next to the fortress so you can be the first one to hit the fortress/dragon
contact me if i missed anything people, and post if this helped!
good luck!

As the post below was changed, here is my reply, I have a 90 90 commander! But clearly for dessert and dragon fortresses its best to use a 90 range commander with wall and gate reductions.
get 90% ranged and 90% melee on the same commander and then we will talk.
When you reach level 50, you unlock a kingdom called "Fire Peaks". Inside this kingdom, there is a fortress (like in the other kingdoms), and it's a dragon fortress.
I disagree with this method. I've tried this method before with a loss of about 60 troops, but when I tried therealsporer's fortress method which was:
Wave 1: L - martyrs F - martyrs R - forget about it
Wave 2: same as wave 1 (if you have only 3 waves skip this)
Wave 3: L - 15 ranged (heavy or better), 8 melee (heavy or better) with 10 mantlets F - All ranged with 20 mantlets R - forget about it
Wave 4: All melee, with as many ladders as possible (just to be safe)
I lost only 34 troops with 3 waves
Left and Middle flanks, full ranged attackers, full manlets for all 4 waves
I don't attack barbarian fortresses.
will update, but the best is known to be 100% melee. will try (response to zemaster)
how many deaths? (response to wiliam)
this way makes no sense: if the people beat a flank/middle, all rest of the manlets are usless.
The other thread led me here. Yes, this is awesome, I don't know who was the author but kudos to whomever, only had 29 losses in 3 waves sent, 133 troops.
I did the 4 wave one with 20 losses.
I disagree. Sending 4 waves of full ranged up the centre only saves many tools. Personally I'd rather save tools than troops. -52 is a reasonable number of troops to lose and only 35 mantlets are easier and faster to replace.
What Ive noticed is that sending mixed troops actually increases your losses compared to just sending only melee or only ranged. Like that 15 ranged, 8 melee
Also ice fortress left flank: No tools left and you have equal melee/ranged str
I would use full melee + 6 scaling ladders instead of 10 mantlets as its a lot cheaper resource wise. Also when calculated
full ranged + 10 mantlets: 1900 defense => xbow => 1900/92 = 20,65 soldiers required
full melee + ladders: 2300 defense => 2h => 2300/109 = 21,1 soldiers required
So its almost same amount of losses both ways, you just save the resources using ladders.
Edit. I just made an attack my way with 3 waves and lost 31 (3 spearmen = martyrs) men with ladders on left flank. Commander str: 70% ranged, 15,5% melee
2 waves of martyrs in left flank and 1 in middle. left flank 3rd wave full melee, middle 2nd wave full ranged, middle 3rd wave full melee.
These are xbow and 2h
yup nice idea since right flank is much more stronger than both other sides but only if we are talking for sand
for the fire one me and baldrick agree that the smartest way is the way I have mentioned, because jade's way might have less deaths, but needs more tools and more people.
That's my personal best so far
