But take into account population for a single city, and time of training, and you will see that the best way to defend against attacking guards are not with guards at all.
In a infanty defensive city, you can hold about 20k lancers. In a cavalry defensive city, you can hold around 5500 guards, and that's pushing it. That being said, against attacking knights or guards, the 20k lance will have a MUCH more devastating effect than the 5500 guards. Don't believe me? Run a sim.
That's why I created my tables with power/food needs. This way, you've got a city and fill it with any unit, you see the "city's power", for offense, or defense against mounted unit, or defense against cavalry unit, or defense against mixed unit (mixed defense...).
But you're right, if to have the best unit in each case you only had to recruit guardians, Valor would be annoying.
The diversity makes the fun, and create diverses strategies. But fact is that MEAN best unit is guardians..,
