Questions about battle I have
Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 11:55 am
Hi. I just got this game a few days ago and I have a few questions I would like to ask. I have not engaged in a single battle yet, since I am still just trying to build up the basic buildings that are needed.
For battle, is it real time actual combat or is it just sending out troops, then waiting an hour or 2 for the report on survivors? (as like in the simulator, exactly.)
Also, is it better to have just lancers or sentries, or a combination of both for defense?
For the berserker, it seems weak and easily defeated due to the low defense, so wouldn't it be better to use lancers?
For the battle itself, do you have to do things in a certain order?..like you HAVE TO destroy the wall or the game won't let you go any further?...can you "skip" the wall and attack the city?
Can the ballista actually destroy a building completely so the opposing city had to rebuild that building restarting at level 1? Can the ballista attack soldiers in the field?
Would it be a good strategy to maintain a small regiment of "expendable" troops, like maybe the scout and berserkers to wear down their forces before coming in to attack with your main army?
What would be a good order of which buildings to destroy?..
I was thinking of doing the following, but I would like suggestions for this also:
Barracks
Wood, iron, and clay buildings
Maybe farm and warehouse last?
I really like this game so far.
