Haypi Article Cav/ Archer guide

Many people who play today know how hard it is to compete with someone who has a lot of coins to enhance items. That’s why it’s perfect to use a cavalry/archer army. Cavalry and archers will always hit first if you have 100 speed, even if the opponent has higher enhancement or manual!! The best tech’s to upgrade if you’re going to use this type of army is; shooting, marching, and attack. Then, all you need to do when commanding, is wait, and try to snipe your opponents cavalry!When you have defeated the cavalry, move on to the archers. When you advance your archers, advance your cavalry as well, they will act as your meat shield as their defense is higher than your archers. Always make sure that you take out cats before they come in range, or you’ll learn the hard way, like me. Not only is this army good for low coin users, but the impatient, and even the people who do teleport, or city jump. The reason is, for non-coin users, they only have to wait a little longer than the infantry time to get to their target, which gives less time for the victim to hunt. Even for coin users, when city jumping right next to the victim, they archers will take 12 seconds, compared to when you use a cat based army where it takes a minute. This makes it almost impossible to hunt their troops. Everyone hates when they waste 40 coins jumping, and come out with no prestige, so when you go to rebuild, consider a cavalry and archer army!

Wow, amazing advise. I would have never thought of that! THX A MILLION!

Takes 10 archers to kill one cavalry so that would be pretty hard :/ but that's why we have backup cavalry! xD as well.. I'd suggest using cavalry for the catapults since archers will be wiped easily

It is a formidable force indeed. I felt it firsthand tonight, as I was caught off guard and squashed by someone seen levels higher than me. I may consider doin it also...

First off, cav/archer is only beneficial if you have very high attac as your kill ratios will be terrible(up to 13:1 arch:cat and 20:1 arch:cav!) Second, commanding is vital with cav/arch. Every battle requires tweaked commanding for what your attacking and theyre speed. You must be able to adjust on the fly, and have enough archers to 1 hit all theyre cats or you will take heavy losses. I dont recommend this army unless you are well versed in the dynamics of commanding, and are willing to rebuild several times during the learning process. You need a minimum of 150k archers imo to be effective and at least 1/4 as many cavalry. The commanding displayed i this guide will have you dead in a heartbeat. Find a friend and play around with small(100-1000) ammounts of troops and different scenarios. Please put some though into guides before posting rubbiah nonsense.

Works like a charm only if you know what you're doing. Be careful~
