Quick guide to troops

Small guide to troops
Some of you may ask which troops should I train??  Well below I'll try to solve your problem
Infantry:
Pros
-these guys are cheap and easy to maintain
-great for running into traps
-Can be effective in a meatshield
-the best troops for hunting
-great for raiding cities or forts for resources
-can make mass amounts
Cons
-these guys would not be my prime choice for a mono army
-They can be defeated very easily with any kind of troops other than themselves,so mono is a no no
-they have a very short range of 25 and have an ok speed
So you've seen the pros and cons so let's see the stats

stats
Life 150,attack 75,defense 75,range 25,speed 150,overload 80,crop consumtion(aka how much do these pigs eat) 1 crop per inf

Next to step up is cavalry
Cavalry:
Pros
-these guys are a very strong version of infantry
-pretty good at hunting but not as good as inf
-these guys have speed on their side!
-these guys are AWESOME! For a mono army
-best life out of all the troops
-If you have good speed these guys will pounce and wipe your enemy
-depending on the field length,but sometimes(if your speed is maxed) you can reach the enemy in one turn!
-great for transferring from city to city
-Cons
-Unlike infantry these guys aren't as cheap and easy to maintain
-in most situations you are always gonna be losing caves,so you will always be rebuilding
-everyone thinks these guys are the best for farming,NOT they are ok but inf are much better.  Look at the facts,overload for caves is 100,where inf is 80,but you can train 4 times more inf than caves!  So the overload would be 100vs320

Now back to the stats
Life 500,attack 175,defense 175,range 40,speed 300,overload 100,4 crop per inf

Now for the archers!
Sorry I am kinda new to archers so I'll try to give you more info when I learn a little more
Archers:
Pros
-these dudes are for more experienced players
-they are cheap to feed and maintain
-Can make large amounts at a time
-they have a decent amount of speed
-they are very tricky and can create a big threat to enemy
-deadly for attacking oasis
Cons
-they are almost useless alone(they will need a meatshield to go with it)
-small numbers are you'll need a large force
-they're defense is a heartbreak
-Their range is sadly 3/4 of what cats are
-overload is garbage!
Mono 
 
STATS
Life 125,attack 60,defense 25,range 600,speed 125,overload 40,crop consumtion 2 crop per archer

Catapults slooooowly step forward
These guys are great in some areas,yet leave alot to be desired
Catapults:
Pros
-These guys have an amazing range!
-They have the best attack and second best life
If you are facing an opponent with an a different army or less cats,usually you can get through with any losses
Cons
-these guys are gluttonsthey eat a ton of crop(and burgers)
-Not cheap and easy to maintain  
-speed is (excuse my language experts)
-they're overload once again is
-these two things add up to garbage hunts
-with such a slow speed it's hard to get to somewhere unnoticed(if you don't warp)
-you can only train 249 at a time so it does take a while to get a large amount
-mono armyprobably not,inf help them out as a meatshield

The stats
Life 450,300 attack,defense 150,range 800,speed 50,overload 40, crop consumtion 10 crop per cats

I hope you got something out of this,and let me know if you have any questions

Cav are the best troops for hunting.(Still debatable) Also, cav are best for farming becuase the speed and they hold the most resources.
And cav are strong against every troop.
Also, if you have max speed, marching tech, and shooting tech, the archers will destroy the cats. The best army (for experienced players who know how to use, is cav and archers. They are less expensive then cats and much faster.
ANd actually, traps kill catauplts alot harder than infantry. If you look at the numbers, they kill around the same ammount, but each cat is 9 more than 1 infantry unit. So in the long run, cats have much worse defense. As archers have the worst, are are completely correct.
But good guide.

Thanks! I agree caves are very strong and possibly the best troop for fighting,but as far as hunting goes I believe inf are better. Archers and caves are great but ya kinda need large amounts of archers to do damage

Just to inform you, the higher the speed, the better the hunt. Cav are better

But you guys both have to factor in that it alldepends upon the oaisis, it's level, when it was last hunted in etc etc.

But I gotta agree with Legit, cav will pwn inf any day in a hunt. Try hunting 1K inf and 1K cav in a level 9 wood oaisis for the same length of time. See which yields the bigger hunt. Of course this isn't a super reliabl. Way to test which is better, but just try it out anyway.

i think ur both misunderstanding wat hes trying to say with inf vs cav... yes if u hav the same number of both then cavs will get a better hunt, but if u compare inf and cav with the same crop consumption(4k inf vs1k cav) or even resources taken to build them(dunno how many that wud b exactly) u will find that, granted the last time it was hunted on, is the same, inf will give better hunts than cavs will, yes speed does play a part but i find that the difference in overload far outweighs the difference in speed...

inf are much better.

Of course if you hunt with 1k cav and 1k inf, Cav will win but how much crop are that 1k cav eating compared to that 1k inf?.... exactly

Try 4k inf and 1k cav and see the true results then.

:lol: inf are much better.

Agree weecraig. Another way to look at is 100k inf vs 25k caves. Caves are good,but hard to make alot because of how much crop they eat

inf are better hunters due to the fact that you can have 4 inf to 1 cav... simple as that. also i disagree with one point. mono cav armies arent that good. effective meatshielding and they are easily wiped. also if you dont have max enhancements, full equipment etc mono cav armies are useless

Ya Nathan. But of all the troops. Caves are the best for mono
