Troop roles
- Infantry forms the early land army.
- Archers have their own combat role.
- Scouts gather information according to the mission result.
- Cavalry has its own training and preparation requirements.
- Rams are siege engines used against fortifications.
- Catapults provide artillery siege capability.
- The Governor is a separate conquest unit, not a regular field role.
Comparing units
Base attack alone is not enough. Attack varies by enemy class, alongside carrying capacity, fortification damage, leadership weight and travel time.
An army slows when it includes a slower unit. A lower travel-time multiplier is better for marching; a larger number does not mean higher speed.
Training times shown per soldier are base values. Training-building level, research and civilization affect the final queue duration.
Unlocking troops
Check required building levels, completed research, resources and time in the training screen. Complete the relevant doctrine before expecting a unit to become available.
Troop names differ by civilization. The old Swordsman and its doctrine are not an additional recruitable infantry branch in the current reviewed version.
Prepare your march
- Choose the mission type and target before sending.
- Compare troop numbers, composition, arrival time and carrying capacity.
- Assign an available accompanying hero when appropriate.
- Leave enough defense and resources to develop the village and replace losses.
- Read cancellation and refund details in the confirmation window before canceling training.
All 18 field units
Attack, defense, capacity and training values are base values. A lower travel-duration factor is better for marching. Scroll the table horizontally to read requirements and costs.
