There is bescause lots of people keep asking "whats the difference between 24/25 barracks".
"Defensive Villages
Include the use of:
For worlds with archers:
4005 Spears
3250 Archers
2000 Heavy Cavalry
100 Scouts"
so on archers worlds u dont use any swords?
Personally in archers worlds I don't use swords, I know people who do and people who don't, but once again there isn't a best defense our best offense for every situation, there is just a best defense for this or that situation and in archers world, assuming that the standard nuke is something around 6000 axes, 600 MA, 300 rams and rest (around 2200) LC, then no you don't need swords at all.

I keep it to have no point difference between Offensive and Defensive villages, some have it because Catapults are decent defenders, great with the Paladin weapon.
I've read that I shouldn't build both spears and axes in the same vill. I've also read about defensive vills and attacking vills. Each time I read about this, the examples given are always numbering troops in their thousands.
Speaking as someone who numbers his troops in hundreds (ATM), can somebody please give me a thumbnail sketch of the ideal attacking village and the ideal defensive village.
I'm not really interested interested in whether 213 rams is better than 216 rams, I just need to know what types of troops to build.
I have 2 smallish vills, should I be building spears and swords in one of them and axemen and archers in the other one? What about mounted troops? The vills are close enough to readily support each other.
Not having played other worlds, I didn't know that they had different troop and academy options so I'll give a list of troops available to me.
I can have...
Spearmen
Swordsmen
Axemen
Archers
Scouts
Light Cavalry
Mounted Archers
Heavy Cavalry
The Academy uses coins.
Please, can somebody produce a guide for us new players that is written in plain English, without resorting to either jargon or text speak.
If you arn't looking to fill level 30 farms, as in Richard's case, the need to specialise is less important. The point of village specialisation is to maximise the power of nukes - if you're not building full nukes anyway, there is no further harm in building defensive troops in an offensive village. There is never any harm in building offence in defensive villages, except that it is not very efficient.
onetruth said:Supposing he's looking to fill about 2000 farm slots in each of his two villages...
The more defensive village: 500 Spear, 500 Sword. 100 Scouts, 200 Light Cavalry. Perhaps a few catapults, too.
The more offensive village: 300 Spear, 300 Sword, 400 Axe. 25 Scouts, 200 Light Cavalry, 25 Mounted Archers. A few rams.
Both villages can farm, both have sufficient defence to discourage routine farming attacks. The offensive village should be able to deal with stragglers and spikes, and keep the walls in his farms down. If one of his villages is hit, the other still can provide some means of defence and farming.
onetruth said:A cautionary note about specialising: it is certainly the most efficient way of organising your forces, but it does require fairly high activity. If you only log on once a day in the evening, and you have pure OFF/DEF villages, you may come online to discover your OFF village was scouted then cleared very cheaply. For the player who can't afford to check his account several times each day, a bit of defence in every village is no bad thing, even if it means you will never be able to provide the full punch to be found in a pure OFF village.
Fair point.You can't build axes and spears at the same time so therefore having more spears in a village does indeed mean its offense is weaker than otherwise long before you have reached a 30 farm.
I agree, I was responding to Richard's question as "someone who numbers his troops in hundreds".By the time you have a second village you absolutely better have FAR more troops than either of those two setups.
On this point I will stick to my guns. Richard does say that his villages are close, so supporting may well be practical, but sending troops out before going offline is only going to work if you have agood idea of when you'll be back. Also, if you only have, say, twenty minutes to play, and a significant number of your troops are already out of the village supporting, you may not have time to withdraw them and then send them out to farm; you certainly wouldn't be able to send them back to support the village after their run.That's [mixed villages] a terrible idea. If you're worried about being hit offline either send your troops out of your village before going offline, or send defensive troops to all your villages as SUPPORT, not make defensive troops in each village.
