EA Koreans - Army Composition

[Persia]

I've recently gone from British to Koreans, and one thing I notice is that my army composition is working decently, but I lose a decent amount of my riflemen. Although that in itself isn't a huge issue, since they're easy to retrain, I'd like to reincorporate cavalry, or at least fusiliers, into my army. I have 95 troop space (I'm researching EA troops right now, so not upgrading barracks) and of the upgrades thus far, I've completed fusiliers, Heavy Singijeon, carabiner raiders are going right now, then cannons and supply trains. My current composition goes with 5 cannons of 9 troop space, 3 supply trains, and the rest (29) shooters. One thing they've been good at is destroying nonshooting buildings, although it's typically a cannon goes up out-of-range, shoots the building once, then the remaining sliver of HP which the defence has remaining. Does anyone have any ideas for what I could try out to make use of more than three types of troops? Specifically, if anyone has found something around this age which works well against high-tier medal bases and chambers, or do tactics plus my current composition tend to do well?

Really doubt that I can say I'm doing better but what I am experimenting with is three Lance to go with the army, and launching them 1 at a time toward mortars before the main army gets in range. My main strategy is to save the tactics cause I hate having to wait for them to train. If I time it right it works well, if I do my usual its complete fubar. (4 Bombadiers, 3 Lancers, 2 Supply Carts, the balance shooters, I like to keep at least 1 or 2 units of Chinese Hand Cannon mercenaries in reserve to replace my shooters if I do my usual fubar and lose the first wave).

I would love to see other better strategies.

Gunpowder age 95 troop space. Also korea

I'm british, also GPA
I mostly use 16 infantry, 31 shooters, 3 healings & 3 bombards, or 2 HC intead of 6 shooters & 6 infantry.
It works pretty well, as I only loose infantry.

Hi Persia. I am lvl 113 EA Korean. This is my mp composition for general attack... 10 infantry, 52 archers, 3 horses, 2 healers, 1 wall miner, 3 cannons. This army will beat most medium lvl bases(mid gunpowder) and have minimal losses depending on the Ai. And I'm sitting close to 900 medals to give you an idea.
For this type of army I deploy horses first at a spot where they can take down defenses and draw catapult fire and defenders( but try to keep them away from cannon towers for the first part of attack) also deploy all archers, cannons, healers. Save wall miner until horses start hitting walls otherwise miner will surely go somewhere else. Keep tracking your progress as you clear the base...drop 1 infantry to distract catapult fire from archers if needed, otherwise use them for cleanup only. sometimes your horses will get shredded in the first part of the attack, that is ok, just make sure you focus on the cats then and the base is yours.
Hope this helps mate...all the best

With 125 troop space (max for EA) I have found this works very well for MP battles without mercs: 5 cavalry, 4 cannons, 2 healing carts (with Musa research, more than enough for your needs), and rest shooters. 5 cavalry works very well in drawing fire from mortars and taking fire from cannon towers (more cavalry means more chance of cannon tower switching targets between cavalry and not killing anyone), 4 cannons eliminate buildings very nicely, 2 healing carts heal up shooters very fast after a mortar strike and cavalry. And rest Korean shooters eliminate defenders because they are just strong. For war I just use mercenary elephants and cavalry, and replace some barrack cavalry for some more shooters.

FWIW Persia , I found EA to be a 'transitionary' age, like a no-man's-land for playing. It wasn't until I went to IA that the better troops made the game fun again. You should use EA to do more general raiding and experiment with troop combinations. Maybe use 1 less healer and more shooters but Trentus's army combo is a good one to work with.
Think of EA as a 'training ground' for IA.
