Just a wee question. Just nobled a village with a noble, obviously and 50 horsemen, however when I gained the village the noble dissapeared, obviously , and the horsemen were stuck there. What i dont understand is i cant use the horsemen at all, their totally stuck! I then sent some spearmen just to build up the troop number there and their stuck there too! I cant use them in attack or farming! What gives?

Because they are from the village of origin and can only be used by that village go to the rally point and send them back to use the troops you have to build them in the village.

Support can only defend villages. They cannot attack from the supported village.

To send it back home go to the Rally Point -> Troops in either the supporting or the supported village. In the supporting village you can decide to withdraw only some of the support, this is not an option in the supported village.

Learn to take a compliment ponyboy! Another question, i have two villages, is it a good idea to make a offensive one and a defensive one?

Yes that would be a strategic move.

As if the offensive is under attack you can support it from the defensive.

This isn't exactly a direct answer to your question, but you should avoid having mixed villages (both O and D in the same village) if at all possible. Whether you choose to make your second village Offensive or Defensive depends on your situation e.g. are you surrounded by enemy tribes, or just lots of potential easy nobling targets? But in general, it is best to specialise your villages.

The main disadvantage by having mixed villages is the offense. Your nukes are only half the power and won't be capable of clearing anything. Defensive wise it's alright.

In my oppinion never mix a villa. The only villa that should ever be mixed is your first and you can get rid of the mix once you have enough troops in your second villa to easily support itself and then turn the first into either an offensive or a defensive.

So when we talk about defensive , we talking about spearmen, swordsmen and archers etc, and offensive is your cavalery, rams , catapults etc?
 

DeletedUser

Guest
Yes but in the case of calvary, Light Cavalry is offense and Heavy Cavalry is generally defense
 

DeletedUser

Guest
Pretty much, yes. Also, Heavy Cavalry are usually used as defensive units but can be used as offense. And don't forget your axemen in your offensive army! There are some good guides on the TW wiki, including Mimelim's guide which gives some good advice on O/D village setup.

Heavy Cal
Catapults (with Arethias Bonfire)
Pallie (better in defensive as when sent to support all troops with it travel at the Palies speed

Offensive troops:
Axe
Light Cal
Mounted Archers
Heavy Cal
Rams
Cats
Pallie

The pallie is the paladin, its just an abbreviation. See Thar's thread for all the information you could want on all paladin weapons.
