Eagle Artillery Activation Discussion (looking for answers!)

[ForgiveMeNot]

149 troop spaces and eagle does not activate 150 and it starts

troops that have died do count towards the 150 troops

extra troops generated via hero activation or hounds popping/witches generating also count towards the 150

Not true...

In my last war, the eagle was activate at 121 space :
1st sound: max golem
2nd sound : 1 wb, 2 wiz & max golem
3rd sound : 7 wbs, 5 wiz
beam activate: bk
total 121 space : 8 wbs, 7 wiz, 2 max golem & bk

...but I attack with my alt.. Drop lv4 golem didn't activate the first sound... And took lot more troops to activate the beam. Wonder level of troops has impact or because some of my troops step inside the eagle circle has an impact...

Yes you jumped over the 121 space from 96 to 121 all at once, so as soon as you crossed 120 it activated.

Yes, I know and agree with you about 120 spaces (wiki said 150 though..)
The problem is, when atk with my alt.. I drop, lv4 golem, max golem both heroes and 7wiz+barb and didn't activate the eagle beam.. Until I drop hound.. I was attacking with golaloon by the way.

I have (had because of maintenance) a war replay in which EA sounds after dropping a Poison Spell. Attacker used about 5 Hogs to lure out cc and in the moment he dropped poison, one of the "warning sounds" goes off and the eagle eyes shined for about a second......

That tells us that spells may count to the troop total for activation.

Spells probably count. I posted something a week or so ago about revenging someone with only 3 dragons, but I used spells so that counted towards the 1/3 mark. The attacker got a shield at 30%, but I clearly hadn't deployed 33% of my army.

If you watch one of galadon's vids, it seems like 3 jumps going down and 3-4 of his golems going in trigger the EA. My guess is if dark spell donations equal 5XP, that regular spells going down equal at least 10spots towards activating the eagle.

Somehow I have in the back of my mind that at lvl2 artillery activates faster than a lvl1 artillery, is it possible that a lvl1 artillery activates at 150 troop space and a lvl2 artillery at 120?

[kral365kral]

Each troop is their own space(1for barb,5for hog etc.)
Witches are 12 and doesnt matter how much skeletons on map.
Heroes are 25 and ability barbs/archers doesnt count.
A dark spell is 5 and a elixir spell is 10 troop space.

No they are same.

There was a thread on this a few days ago, it was thought that spells definitely count. I will see if I can find it and post the link
