In your Conquest City build you have Fast Transports as one of the technologies, but then the Naval Fleet is all slow transports. I understand the use of slow, because the limiting factor is the CS speed, so why research the fast boats in that city?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-56881560705789981152013-08-13T11:35:35.986+01:002013-08-13T11:35:35.986+01:00Many thanks Varguar.

Me and my teammates would send 50-100k spies and nothing. At some point somebody told me that you take away more silver of the opponent's cave by sending small amounts than by sending all at once. Is it really like that?

You said that to use 1k spies until you deplete his/her cave (This was on the 14th of October, 2011). Wouldn't you believe that having the element of surprise to get the jump on the enemy would be better, you monitor his activity such as when he is online and such. You spy before this as not to waste your time scouting him out. Once you figure out the times he comes on and such, you launch your attack. This I believe works exceptionally well if they are close to you for a less travel distance. By the time they get back on you can practically have your CS at their doorstep preventing them from getting reinforcements in time. This is less of a question, more of me just sharing ideas to see what you think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-43515550905675839502013-06-08T00:49:12.901+01:002013-06-08T00:49:12.901+01:00It would be a waste of FS but I do not propose FTS...It would be a waste of FS but I do not propose FTS for my conquest city.

The best possible defense are defensive units ...Hi,<br />The best possible defense are defensive units behind the high wall. <br /><br />The highest overall defense value between regular units has Swordsman but Archer is not far behind. These 2 units are bread and butter of every strong defense. <br /><br />However if you ask about the best unit, it would be Pegasus, then Cerberus and Medusa. <br /><br />Pegasi with Centaurs (or Archers) are perfect combo (also note, that you can mix 2 mythical units in the same place as it is the same god). Just add a few swordsmen for extra distance defense and put them behind 25 lvl wall.<br /><br />Biremes are necessary for Conquest worlds, where you have to protect your CS during 24 hrs of siege. Therefore even though it is not the most efficient way of defending, you are forced to use Biremes because of the game rules.<br />However, this is a different type of defense - it is an offensive way of using defensive units (when you attack enemy city).<br />GROMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960171048611605602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-57927135821032378442013-05-09T19:49:52.556+01:002013-05-09T19:49:52.556+01:00Hey Grom,

You have to farm other players or conquer their cities. How are you going to achieve that and grow without offensive units? If you plan to build a 2nd city from scratches then you slow down so much that most of the active players around you will get bigger much faster and conquer you at some point.<br /><br />Regarding "city type ratio", I don't think anyone should stick to specific numbers. You adjust accordingly to your current needs. As a general advice I can say that Conquest city is for advanced players with many cities. I would start with Land offensive city. Then it depends - are you threatened by your neighbours, do you have a strong alliance standing behind you? <br /><br />In the area where you are being attacked very often I would make my 2nd city a defensive city, if not, you can create a mixed defensive city to provide some naval defensive support for your CS if you play a conquest type of world. <br /><br />You see everything depends on how your enemies play. If they are defensive you focus on offensive units and keep attacking them. If they are aggressive then you mix offensive and defensive cities. You can never focus only on defense. If you have to defend, you should always have some units to counter attack in order to put some pressure on your rivals. Otherwise they will grind you down.GROMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960171048611605602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-70871403835772995192013-03-31T16:56:55.645+01:002013-03-31T16:56:55.645+01:00Thanks for the guide.
