It all depends on who you are attacking and what there defense make up is. If you went all zerk, attacking anyone with a large amount of sentries would not be effective. I would hope no one would ever make just a pure lancer defense, that would be stupid so I believe you always need some type of mix of infantry and mounted attacking troops

Since most people are going to have a larger zerk troop count then mounted, on Defense I would always have a larger amount of sentry then lancers to combat them. something along the lines of 75/25 ratio.

Not to mention you can train a mix of zerk and knights faster then you can train a pure zerk army because of barracks and stable running at the same time AND you can farm with knights a LOT better then with zerks.

Even though all troops aare overall better, i like to build both guards and zerks, so i wont have to wait for barracks to build all. Instead off both barracks and stable building them, thats why i like both.

U can have 4 times as many zerks as guards so 4 x 50 =200 attacks compared to 1 guard having 115 attack so a zerk has 181% attack power of guard

Also lancers and sents have 181% defense power of a guard

Also might be 4x times more, but 4 will take twice as long to build as compared to a guard which equates to 2 guards. You also get no defense so you cant use them for support.

2 guards attack power = 300
4 zerk = 200

Ill take the guards. Again this is all personality styles

2 Guards have 230 attack, and count for 6 pop. Whereas 6 barbs have an attack of 300.

Yeah it does take awhile but it's worth it for only 1 city, then I can rebuild more easily once I'm up to 19,272.

I've heard of people building only zerks cities but try take like 2 weeks to build so I never did who has time for that anyway lol

ok i have done cities with only berskers and guess what. As long as you grow fast and join a good guild NOBODY will attack you. unless they are plain out stupid.

I am trying this out. You have a maximum # of troops per city of 19,272 (with the city at 43,399) so that's quite a sum of attackers. As you can see by my signature I don't have to worry about defense.

Well since u can have 4x as many as guards 4 of them can carry more than a guard making them pretty good for farming
