It's all about CATS

I totally agree with those saying that at higher level cavs r more deadlier. Not only r they faster in battle and less resources but also ur attack speed is reduced dramatically which will be handy for quick attacks on enemies

All these posts are all correct in saying that it isn't all about cats. Cuz it's not. But one thing I didn't see anyone mention is that the greatest advantage cats DO give, (when used properly with precise strategy) is that they are the beat unit for gaining prestige. Be it by building them, or on the battlefield especially, cats present the ability to win a battle while taking 0 losses, thus maximizing prestige gain. No matter how powerful or large your cav army is, it will take casualties simply because they attack in melee, as opposed to cats, which may attack from afar and never get hit.
Before anyone argues this point, there are always exceptions, but I'm speaking in general terms, and it's one of the reasons why I deploy cats, even if I use a cav army.

Yes Cats are good for wiping out enemy cleanly, which is why every use them at lower level.

However nowadays many people have max speed and if you try to catch people's army who has max speed cats with max range (and throw in level 10 turrets at times) or there's no way to earn any prestige and your own cat will take heavy loss.

Yes, quite obviously lv 10 turrets will always protect a little bit of prestige (at least 6 or 7k) but like I said, there's always exceptions. In GENERAL, cats present the opportunity for no prestige loss, no matter the generals level.

Cav can work just as well as Cats, Maybe even better. They're good in their own ways.

Well explained posts, great insight for new players

the way i see it its not about the number of troops or the types of troops but techs, attributes and battlefield strategy

It definitely is not all about cats, as everyone has said. It also isn't about pure number advantage, techs and skills and attributes are actually pretty big. I have beaten someone with more than 2 times my cats simply because of my techs being much better. Cav are probably the best type I would say with maxed speed, but cats are important at lower lvls.

ive seen 80k cav beat 40k cats with little to no losses

ive seen 80k cav beat 40k cats with little to no losses

A good general may lose this type of fight, but there's absolutely no excuse for not hitting the cav....that's poor commanding on the cats part

Edit: cats can win this battle, and should never attempt an attack on a cav army like this without using single troops as meatshields.
