Cav Guide

The Mono Cav Army
The Mono Cavalry army is an army that uses the speed attribute to your favor. If you speed attribute is at 100 you can reach a catapult if it moved forward BOTH rounds. But with a level 15 manual which will increase your speed attribute to 115 you can reach a catapult at round 2 if they moved forward 1 round and waited 2nd vice versa. With a level 15 manual and horse which will increase the attribute to 145 you can reach the catapult 2nd round no matter the strategy (see meat shields for more info).

The mono cav army is very effective for tons of different uses; I will share with you a few major uses. For 1 it gives you the ability to farm major resources off in actives or even actives. As the fact most people use turrets (very dumb idea, unless you have level 9 or 10) which many players cannot afford. Level 8 turrets can hit your cav at max range and it will take about 100-200 cavalry (major benefit of cavalry, DEFENSE) you then can wipe them next turn with a minor loss.

Cavalry have major advantages over Infantry the most effective of those being Defense and Speed. Some may argue that Cavalry have a bigger overload (100) compared to the 80 of infantry but then you must think of the basic production costs. Which I will not go into unless it is asked by you the people.

Basic Cavalry stats

Life: 500
Attack: 175
Defense: 175
Range: 40
Speed: 300
Overload: 100
Crop consumption: 4
Prestige: 3-5(I don’t know why everything ranges I have yet to find that out)

Also from those basic stats you can see that cavalry have the highest life, Defense, Speed and Overload out of all UNITS. This makes them technically the best Unit, but you must also think of the disadvantages. Cavalry have little to NO RANGE this makes them weak when they are fighting an army of the same number in catapults. Along with that is the ability to meat shield (remember earlier when I said see meat shields for more info? Here ya go)
Meat shielding is the most effective tactic against cavalry other than 1 tactic that I really don’t want to share because then I can’t use it on people because it is easy to avoid if you know what you are doing<.>.
Back to meat shielding, when you meat shield you are using the 3 soldiers that you don’t commonly use when you are fighting (normally INF, cav, archer). This makes it so that your cavalry get stopped 3 rounds before they can hit your catapults. Which then results in 4 rounds of not being able to hit catapults which then makes the cat army seem really strong. Now it is time for me to reveal the only tested way to keep the cav army essential and still be able to fool those stupid meatshielders;)

All of you players who have been playing for a long time have probably heard the saying archers suck. They have no range and power etc… now I am here to tell you about how they actually are essential to the cav army (now duo cav/archer army) using archers is more essential than using the brute force of catapults. 3 major advantages

1 they actually have a little speed on them and it adds about 5 seconds to every 30 seconds of the infantry so they really aren’t that slow (but yes it impacts the speed of the cavalry. But not as much as that of cats)

2 they have range which people seem to forget, and using this range you can overpower the ability to meat shield

3 at the huge numbers you are able to obtain of archers compared to cats i.e. 5k catapults=50k crop, 25k archers=50k crop. Which seems scarier? That not good enough for you? 20k catapults=200k crop, 100k archers=200k crop

Not to mention the fact that the marching tech and shooting tech enhance the Archer majorly . Also not to mention when you can make 498 catapults you can make 2.9k archers which will win>.> unless you have no techs/stats and the opposition has VERY GOOD techs/stats.

Now commanding this awesome duo army is what makes or breaks a real duo cav/archer army. There is about 3 different ways to command the army but I will show you the way that I have used and has been great for me

Round 1
Cavalry: Wait
Archers: Forward aim at Cavalry

Round 2
Cavalry: Wait
Archers: Forward aim at infantry

Round 3
Cavalry: Forward
Archers: Forward aim at archer

Round 4
Cavalry: Forwardhit catapults
Archers: Forward hit catapults
Now this should preside to the end of the battle right here if you are attacking catapults of the right dimensions you should have made sure you had about 1.7x the amount of cav to catapults. Along with the weak but mighty attacks from the archers the catapults should have died.

Now this guide was made by request of Redgun and if you ever need a guide about any subject just let me know and I will have a nice publication out for you within a week

Side Notes
2 cavalry against 1 cat= DEATH on both sides
3 cavalry against 1 cat= Win for cavalry with 1-2 cav remaining (depends on techs)
Now this is at just these individual numbers once cavalry are brought to big numbers and accompanied by archers it will end up being about 1.4-1.7 cavalry per catapult (this is without techs added in)

You're my hero as dumb and lame as that may sound. Nice job on the guide. I have been waiting for a guide for cav for a long time. Never have seen the importance of archers in a cav army until now either.

Edit Again: What is a good archer to cav ratio for a duo army?

No problem;) and I think it's funny'! (that I'm your hero) if you need any other guides shoot me a pm I can spend alot of time>.>

I would say at 5k cav maybe 3k archers
10k cav 7k archers 15k cav 12k archers
20k cav 20k archers etc and buod up to
40k cav and 75-100k archers

Thanks for the guide! I really appreciate it. 

No problem:)

Btw I'm working on archer guide

Thank you!!!!

Thx

I'm to tired to read these thing so I'll just copy
