In your army screen you see an overview of the regiments you have collected. They consist of humans, fearies, orcs and the desecrated plague.
Every regiment has to be unlocked through shards first.
There are different kinds of troops and every one is effective against another, like in stone-paper-scissors.
regiment | good against | fragile against |
---|---|---|
Guardians | Pikes | Mounted |
Mounted | Archers , Guardians | Pikes |
Archers | Mages | all despite Mages |
Pikes | Mounted | Guardians |
Mages | All | Archers |
Flyers
In Addition some troops can fly. That means that they can ignore every blocking tiles like water or rocks and area effects like fire.
e.g.: maiden's fairies
The Imperial Roc does not fly.
Elite-Troops
You should take 5 Regiments that you always hold on Level 5. With them you can win the hardest battles.
Every other troops you can upgrade according to the gold that you have. They can at least be used as cannon fodder.
Damage
How much damage your troops do depends on several factors.
- number of soldiers
- damage per unit
- hitpoints of opponent unit
- bonus damage against opponent class?
- critical hit? - propability can be increased by weapons
- Extra damage because of special abilities
- Extra damage because of the area (e.g. hill bonus +50%)
Regeneration time
How much time your troops need to regenerate depends on the damage they received. The more soldiers you lost the more time they need per soldier. If your whole unit was exterminated there will be an extra half an hour added to the time needed.
Upgrades
The number of soldiers, damage and hitpoints can be increased by upgrades.
Which are available depends on the unit's level (and that depends on your warlord level).
And of course it depends on your gold, (and other currencies) if one of the merchants has upgrade items in stock.
Remember to have your 5 Elite-troops get as many upgrades as possible.
Equipment
Equipment can get you a big offensive/defensive bonus or a greater propability for a critical hit.
You can upgrade that in your smithy if you got enough materials.
