Troop Def,

[Sirboland]

Im wondering what happens when some attacks with Zerks and Knights

against lancers and Sentries.

How does this work?

Because the Troops have different Def against different troops.. Which troop defends aganist the other?

[Fire820]

Sentries are better infantry defenders. Lancers are better cavalry defenders. So, if your enemy is sentry-heavy, I'd send cavalry. If your enemy is lancer-heavy, I'd send zerks

Thnks, But nvm.. I dont really need to know i was just curious, I was asking what happens with the split types,,

Boland if you didnt know, there is a stats chart of all the units stats, thats movement, attack, defense, loot carry, and how much they cost.

To find this unit chart all you need to do is be in the valor game, then you press the options (looks like a gear) button, after that it opens a new window with player name email etc. Press the help button and when you get the list of help options select units, and then it shows you a list of every unit you an build. When you are there select unit overview and it will give you a detailed chart on every single unit in the game.

I find this extremely helpful when deciding hoe to build troops in my cities, and knowing how they work together and against each other.

if you already knew this then I hope i can help any one else who reads this and does not already know this.

ps. im sure you know this too but you can just use the simulator to figure out what combinations work best against what your enemy has.
Also if you use the troops stats that it shows on the unit chart I showed you how to find above, you can use the stats to see how much defense they have compared to your offense.

Yah I know, But thanks for trying to help me out there,, Maybe your comment will help others, I was just trying to have a grasp on the mechanics behind it.. That reminds me, My Building Points info page is Bugged up.. It is just blank i used to consult that page later in the game..

if i read correctly, the questions was not related to whats best versus mounted or infantry. I think he was trying to ask if you are under attack and they have launched BOTH mounted and infantry and you have two troop types for defense, how does valor decide which troops defend against each type of attacker. Is that the correct question?
