When you say - Best Defence - do you imply ................ a win with minimum effort and lowest troops...............
Is this method not always dangerous.........where the margin between victory and defeat can be as little as one round.....and luck plays a large part....
.....as in many previous era's, in battle the nomad morale can sometimes survive down to 12 or 13.......
....due to large battle company size.......
I always try to defeat the nomad horde before round 7 of the field battle..............
.......it maximises the nomad losses, which gives more war income and ........keeps my own losses to a minimum...........less time under battle conditions
