Units

There is many forms of soldiers in this game who is included into three different levels which is militia, regular and veteran-troops also know ans bronze, silver and gold-troops. You can recruit all sorts of units but if you want to have change at the battlefield you better recruit the latest troops which means that you prefer to make regular over militia units and veteran over regular. Heavy catapult over the standard catapults etc.

All troops are catogorized into two different types of troops in their different category.

Infantry has two different types of soldiers, one is swordmen, the other is axemen. The swordsmen are supposed to take the damage and let other units do the damage. Axemen are fast units that do a lots of damage, they are very effective against archers which means they are exellent at chop down archers on the walls, chop down the gates. They are also effective at cavalry so you would like to set in axemen to do that.

Cavalary has two types of troops, it is (swords)-cavalry, and there is lancers. Standard cavalry are supposed to be good against infantry, yet they are not as effective against axemen. They are better to take down walls then lancers. Lancers are extremely effective against all kinds of troops. The only problem is when enemy soldiers climb the walls the cavalry cannot do a thing about it.

There is four kinds of machines, the only one that is bad at taking down walls is the ballista which is more of a anti-troops unit. The catapult are used to take down walls but they can be very effective in defence if you have uppgraded the Area of Effect in your academy, then they do splash damage and thus takes out much more troops in each blow.

The other two siege weapons is purely used as siege-weapons, that is the ram and the trebuchée. The ram simply has one purpose and cannot be used on ther then to take out gates and even walls. The trebuchée can be used to defend your base, it then do take down troops which they dont do in attacks on the other hand, they are great to take down walls though which they do at a very long range.
