So I'm just starting to build my army and wondering where to put them. (Please correct me if I'm wrong) I know you have to have archers in the fort because they fight @ 4x. I got that much down. The way I play the game based on what I've read in the forum is I'm pretty much a farmer. I like to build my empire and do my own thing.
I'm not looking to attack anyone or be a war lord. I know I have to have an army to protect my resources from the people who are out there just to fight and enjoy playing the game that way.
So is it more cost effective / smarter to just build an army and let them stay in the province to have some type of protection other than just the archers or should I put them to work attacking gold mines?
Would I send them to a field battle or would it be a fortress siege? I'm not really clear on the difference. If there's no army based on rumors I assume it would be a siege.
If they field battle do they still collect resources?
Do I have to send treb. when doing a fortress siege or can i just send 1000 swords?
I assume that the burning castle means they've already been attacked and the army is already gone?
Just to make sure, the gold coin next to the name in player stats means they haven't logged on in 7 days and are considered a "gold mine"? Because there are alot in this realm.
Thanks for the help i love this game and trying to make the most of it.
