I remember many catapult attacks and Kaz's big suicide attack (did we ever figure out who supplied the defense troops? RoB?). Anyway the game needs to be... Less time intensive. Shorten, 11 months  Allow for troops from one player's village to combine. | ||

But the game is too simple for that. + each village upgrades its own units produced, armour + offensive power. So that makes it impossible to combine. | ||

~~~ Combat has a formula which I never bothered enough to look into. Just know the attack/defense units for each race and you'll be pretty safe. Roman: Early game: Leg (Off), Prae (Def) Mid game: Imp (Off), Equ Imps (raiding), Prae (Def) Late game: Imp (Off), Equ Cae (Off), Prae (Def) Gaul: Early: Phal (Off/Def) Mid game: Swords (Off), TTs (raiding), Phal (Def) Late game: Swords (Off), Hads (Off), Phal (Def) Teuton: Early: Clubs (Off/raiding) Mid: Clubs (Off/raiding), Palas (Def/raiding), Spears (Def) Late: Axes (Off), TKs (Off), Spears (Def) Off and Def are self-explanatory. "raiding" means that these units are fast and are good for raiding purposes only. Try not to attack villages with "raiding" units if there are defense. The cost of losing raiding cavalry units will set you back immensely if you lose too many. Offense is standard over all. Defense, you want to notice what tribe is attacking you and what units they could be using. If you get yourself in a good alliance, try to have an ally near you to help out with defense. If you are Roman, you use Praes to defend against attacking infantry. Praes have the best anti-infantry defense. But if someone is attacking you with cavalry, as Roman, you're rather fucked. So your options are to either dodge the attack (use up or merchant away resources so that crannies can cover the rest) or defend. Your best hope is that you have a Gaul or Teuton near by so they can reinforce you with Phal or Spears, respectively. Over time, you'll start to realize what size army can handle what size defense. But for the most part, scout regularly and use the simulator. Neo ----------------------------------------- Original Message: hey, i just started the game, playing casually, don't know if i'll actually continue or anything i have a question about the combat system, like how does it work? how does the combat simulator actually get those results... the only thing i've been able to discern so far is that attacking has a huge advantage over defending | ||
