First Army

[Micutzzz]

Build 200 swords, 200 archers, 600 spears.
It works for me~

Hmm your right here but is more bether if you make 600 archers in fort 3 and 300-600 cava out side ... till 150 is really hard to lose !

Low or high point, 1000 soldiers are 1000 population. If you just want to have an army in the third day, you will see that are very few targets available and they are also generally too far away (of course cartography is 0). I prefer to wait 2-3 other days, and get a decent army of 1000 swords (or 800 swods + 200 cavs). They die less, so i don't have to continuosly disband workers for new soldiers (or i have to disband less).

I was allways wondering about why upgraded units are good?
e.g. spearman costs 15/6 resources and the Attack - 10  Hitpoints - 100
But HEAVY SPEARMEN costs 25/10 and Attack - 15 Hitpoints - 150 and even slower
is there any reason to use Heavy spearmen when it costs more and sloer?

This I find more reasonable. You have a more powerful army. You have archers to defend your fort when army home. And you have spears if any nobb has 100 cavalry in the beginning. I have seen some people in the beggining with an army of this configuration: 35 spearman, 70 archers, 60 swordsman 20 cavalry and no offensive or defensive battle in the beginning of game.

Yes there are million reasons. You can get an empty fortress 6 with 9-12k guardians. And you can never take it without sieges with light soldiers. (Only 12800 troops attack fortress 6). Another reason is population. Light soldiers get killed very easily. I one proved in the calculator 1 scenario. I put 100000 light spearman and 10000 trebuchets against a level 7 fortress garrisoned with 12800 elite archers and do you know what I saw. The defender killed all spearmen in the first round (I'm not sure 1st or 2nd round exactly)

Try with 50k phalanxes...and they cost more

that's logical
archers fight with x4 in fortress and x4 against spearman
and the archers have also the advantage of being elite os thats 8x 12800(=102400) elite archers against 100000 ls

    if u have some levels of cartography then those troops will be as fast as the basic ls and u have the added bonus that they are more powerful,example: heavy archers have 15 attack,150 health and 1 speed, now elite archers have have 30 attack,300 health and 1 speed, u tell me witch is better.
