are these possible:

Occupy a person with 2 waves (each mission is occupy), after occupation has been succesfull. Can you recall the second wave so that the first wave is still occupying.

Or

Attack with 2 waves (1st wave is occupy, 2nd wave is pillage) so that you get resources and also occupy.

I'm thinking of this because i'm pillaging a person with 3 towns on 1 island so I don't want them building to many more troops.
Also what lvl wall can 18 mortars take down completely before running out of ammo?
And 1 last questions: what happens if they rebel, do i have to take down the wall again.

If both waves are a part of the same battle, you will occupy the town at the end of the battle and then your pillaging wave goes back to the town it came from without any loot. It's an "one or the other" situation. You decide if you want to pillage OR occupy. You really can't do both in the same battle. That has been my experience with occupations anyway. Others might have other experiences as the combat engine is kinda strange on occasion.

if they rebel do i have to take down the wall again. i've heard you do. and can a lvl 25 wall be taken down with 18 mortars?

When you say i decide, is it based on the first wave.
So if the first wave was a pillage, i pillage it and both waves come bak, if it was an occupy the 2nd wave (pillage) just attacks and comes bak with nothing.

18 mortars, as long as none die, can take down a lvl 25 wall. It takes 3 rounds

Doesnt matter the number of waves, it matters the mission. So, if you send 59 waves to pillage and one to occupy, you will occupy . Either decide to send all waves as pillages or all as occupy

whats the max lvl wall mortars can take down? if it takes 3 rounds for lvl 25 i geuss the max is lvl 25.

If i send 2 armies to occupy, they leave at defferent times but fight in the same battle, Does that count as 2 armies occupying 1 town or 1 massive army occupying 1 town.

One large army occupying the town.

But you don't have to move your troops in one lump either. You will have the choice to send troops, just as if you were sending them from your own town. To do this, select the town you are now occupying from the town drop down list, then select another town on the map world, make your choice, pillage, occupy, transport and then you'll have the choice of how many of each troop to send.

If they do rebel, then you will have to take down the walls again. Its annoying because they can rebel with just one soldier and you have to fight threw the walls again, potentially losing some troops. So if you do send troops somewhere else, make sure you leave enough mortars around. Otherwise your troops will just sit there being killed at the wall.

As bigbossman said, doesn't matter how many waves and from where you send them. If they all join an ongoing battle and even just one time you pushed the occupy button for one wave, you will occupy the town and NOT take any loot. If you want loot, don't occupy. If you want to occupy, don't pillage. It's as simple as that.

One addendum to what Jerry B said, it has been posted on this board that troops will eventually tear down the walls now. They will die as usual so if you don't have enough to survive until you actually tear down the walls you will lose the occupation and your army.

This post has the above information. Town walls are highly over-rated or ...

I have heard that a lvl 20 wall can take out 5 SG's. You definetly need your motars.

Disregard the alliance listed in the sig, it no longer exists, and I'm having the sig changed soon

Thanks to Infam0us for my great sig!!!

if there are no troops in town, all you need is spearman and mortars. Somewhere in the forum is a sheet someone made of how many spearman and mortars are needed for a certain level wall.

I think i did quite well. Stopped pillaging her cause she got bombers and i didn't have enough sulphur to replace my mortars with cats. (EDIT:sos the CRs should be the other way round, the later one being the first pilage i did)
