It's all about CATS

Having only been playing for about a week, am i right in saying that any given battle is going to be won or lost by the player with the most cats? Seems about the long and short of it to me and my Alliance Members are always telling me to build cats. Is it that simple? Losing my interest.

if you strategise enough.... cav could be the best answer. but of course, you need tons of them. at least 20k cav and tons of speed

infantry could also help by being meat shields when facing lvl 10 turrets. if you want something between cats and inf.... then use archers hope this helps. of course, its up to your liking actually.

If you want to less losses but spend more resources,then cats are the best option. spend less resources+ more losses= cav. just dont use pure inf you'll be bashed to bits

And still i am left with the view that 'It's all about CATS!' C'est la vie.

Nope it is not, in fact there are alot of high level players who keep a large amount of calvary, calvary units with max speed and high defense will destroy cats army. You only need a 1-1 ratio if you are set up correctly.

And since cats consumes 2.5 times more crops than calvary, two similar sized armies (in terms of crop consumption), the cats army will not win against a cavs army.

People do abuse cats army at lower level but at higher level there are quite a few ways to counter cats army.

At a higher level cavs get better, with 100 speed you can move all the way across the map and kill the cats in to rounds. And cavs having a smaller crop consumtion then cats mean that you can build more cavs then cats.

yeah its important to have a well-balanced army

In the beggining, you can only use foot, cav, cat army. This army will basically be used like this:

Foots to destroy traps, and meat shields.
Cavs to carry resources
Cats to destroy their army to bits.

When you get maxed out items AND TECH, then its highly reccomended by me and other veterain players to use a cav/ archer army.

Cavs to destroy cats and carry resources.
Archers to destroy foots, cavs, archers, turrets, and traps.

Keep in mind that you can attack any units in the first round with this army ONLY if you have maxed stats.


The cav/ archer army will be most affective if you have many, many troops.

If you want to use cav army to farm forts, then you need 1.38 times the amount of maxed infantry in a fort. For example, a level 1 fort has 2000 infantry. You will need 2760 cavs to take over that fort.

its not just about cats. it is just that at low lvl, cats is the best unit for fort and such to advance u further in the game at a faster pace. when u reach 1st earl and above with max speed, u can start to look at cav arch, cav cats, full cav army, tho not recommended for full cav yet. the thing is because of stats point at low lvl is not sufficient to make other type of combo viable, therefore it makes u think that way. as u progress in the game, u can experiment with different troops, learn their strong point and weak point and find the balance for ur army. usually i would suggest u focus on 2 units such as inf cat, cav cat, cav arch and such. the fact is because, even at lvl20, u wouldn't be able to max all stats. a focus stats point attribute will allow u to reap the full benefit of a certain type of unit but not the other. the game will usually get more intresting after u reach marquis and duke lvl but it wouldn't be that easy to farm prestige then as the players become more experienced.

cats have an edge over cav when cav speed is no maxed
