I'm EA in gold II, and still have 4/5 attackers just looking for a quick'n easy two-star on my very-exposed tc. if that's what your layout is inviting, you'll still get it more often than not, regardless of your age.

...so the answer may range from marginally better to actually being worse, depending on choice of nation. hmph.

you could make the case that tanks will survive longer under a cannon tower. since cannon towers only fire once every ~2 sec, tanks are a 4-shot kill for cannon towers (not considering tower blessing) at ~15,000 hp (I'm Greek with Versailles, though). my EA hc are a 2-shot kill with 9,000 hp. in...

if all 120 troops are hc, two barracks train 7, one trains 6. 7 * 210 seconds * (1 - 0.2) * (1 - 0.77) ~ 4 min, 30 sec. dbuk's battle log he posted showed about a 5 min delta between battles. I think French nation may be better than many think. ...or ~39 sec per hc

shouldn't it be ~15 min*(1 - 0.77) ~ 3.45 min? 77% faster, right?

most of the veteran players and forum contributors have quit out of frustration and moved on...before you got here. when the "host" of content players advances, only to be pitted against cheater after cheater after cheater, they'll quit too. be patient.

currently, the gats target whatever is closest, as infantry do, but only do appreciable damage to defenders. as anti-personnel units, shouldn't they favor defenders, as other ranged troops do? as it stands, they have a tendency to stray from the pack to take on walls/defenses/libraries...as...

it's interesting that some units are circumventing a base to find a more convenient hole or breach point. I'm having the opposite issue with ranged units--cannons in particular. after the first wall breach is made, when I rally the group to a location inside the breach, ranged unit tend to try...

during treaties, I'll drop an animal blessing + gathering blessing, if I've got >= 6 citizens. it's worth a quick 300k-500k gold and 200k-300k food, depending on how lucky I get with boars and bears.

i also use two with ~15 - 20 musketeers, to support cannons, etc.. one would do, just to slow approaching invaders, but i bring two for redundancy. i tried replacing musketeers altogether with Gatling guns, but found that i like the musketeers greater range mixed in with the gat's...

cavalry have always been the tip of the spear going into battle. I think they need a little more punch for walls. I agree they shouldn't be overpowered, but as they are now, they can't effectively chew through walls anymore. watching a pack of 6 elite royal companions hump a level 9 wall is...

i'm also greek, and also recently backed off from 10 hc to 6, to make room for bombards. this was after reaching ea though, and maxing my troop space, so i can't comment on gp composition. i'm finding that they take some practice. they're not too bright, a little like infantry, and just attack...

perhaps ranged units can hurl boomerangs?

I recently started using three supply wagons. These will outpace the damage done by mortars and redoubts (one at a time), unless they have a tower blessing. I only just reached my 120 troop-space-limit, though, so that helps. The balance I'm settling down with is nine companions, 30 infantry...

forgot to apply roman bonus to the +10 from standing army research. that's where the last +1 will come from. (110 + 10)*1.1 = 132. and your English is fine.
