All Infantry army. Plausible?

At max warehouse, you can build 2496 infantry at a time. At max barracks, that'll take about 15 1/2 hours. Let's say your a mid-level with 5 cities.

You could easily produce 12,000 infantry per day. Maybe double if you use coins to auto finish.

So, let's say you try it out for a week... using coins... making 20,000 infantry per day. After a week, with 140,000, you start attacking people.

Is this kind of army plausible. Sure, you will take huge losses in a fight but can you recover those losses to make it worth doing?

Anyone try an all infantry army before?

Thanks in advance.

I havnt tried it and i wont
Because if they have catapults they will easily kill alot of your infantry and if u somehow manage win u will probly get 0 prestige because of your losses.

Infantry army are quite powerful at high numbers, with 140k inf you can farm level 9 forts quite easily provided you have decent stats and equip.

The problem with infantry when attacking other player is that you suffer too great a loss, yes if your inf number is huge you will win but the prestige you earn will be greatly reduced when compare to say, a cats army that have cleanly wiped out your opponent.

It is inefficient and slow when you have to constantly replenish their numbers. This is the same problem with cavs army except with cavs with their greater speed and defense your losses will be alot smaller.

It would certainly be an interesting tactic to try and I would like to see the expression on people's faces when you roll them over with massive horde of inf lol.

yes i know i suffered a big loss, but i was attempting to suicide the inf for crop consumption and was surprised any of them even came back lol

im sure with much bigger numbers they'd farm forts well, but as backburner said wouldnt be that great against other players

hmmm max speed max def inf.... 3 turn to kill but need insane number to win ppl

In my opinion, it's totally feasible. You just overwhelm them with sheer force of numbers.

Now, as far as stats would go, I would imagine that if you were using an all infantry army you would load up on defense and healing, that way you suffer fewer losses, and stand to gain a little more prestige. But I don't think it would be effective with gaining prestige fast, since you would most definitely suffer losses any time you attack someone.

not to mention the massive hunts

look in my battle guide. Whats best army? complete inf.

Cats or cav could probably own an army of inf provided they had blockers. The only way a pure inf army would become even remotely feasible would be in extremely high numbers (hundreds of thousands). Though if you're going to go to that high of an expense, why not go with cats or cavs? There are proven, tested strategies for both of those. For example, 200k inf = 20k cats in terms of crop consumption. The latter army could kick some serious butt with very few losses. The retrain time on a pure inf army would be obscene. You'd probably lose 2-5k each time you farm a fort, perhaps 10k if it has its traps an turrets. Losses of 50 to even a hundred thousand would not be impossible against a high-level player with a huge army and lvl10 turrets. Sure, this loss could be reduced with meatshields, but it could theoretically take you a week to recover from a battle you won. And as stated before, you wouldn't get much prestige.
Infantry may be the most efficent unit, but that does not make them the most practical.
