But am really just walking blindfolded here and trying to be logical. Thanks again for sharing. Great suggestion about Rebirth. That and Troop Training Speed seem like they would be important for subs. Next chance I get to sit down for an hour or two here! Hi Damo. If you go to the screen that lets you add skills to generals, you can see all the descriptions there. Not good whatsoever! Good morning, I just recently got the Undead General. My argument is that it would seem, if used in this way, he is an equalizer in every fight you bring him to.
What am I missing and please help me if my logic is flawed. First of all, great thinking. I have not actually tested the undead general to see if he works like you say. I sort of doubt he does.
But even if he did I have 2 responses:. Thank you! And timely you touched on points. I was of the opinion Kills were worth more. The Tavern is required to be level 18 for an orange grade historic general to appear in the Tavern? I know a purple grade historic can appear at 15, as well as normal orange grade, but stopped refreshing at 5k gems into searching for one. I have heard people say they began seeing gold historic generals at lvl I would suggest pushing for level 18 as soon as possible.
My tavern is level 17 and I have seen 1 gold historic general that I have actually noticed. That is my understanding, yes, just from talking to people. Wished someone would have done this in my mother tongue. Great job! I know, my own lack of organization; I did not know, that at this time of monarch-completion all buy ins of higher range 99 usd are not available…Thanks for your feedback, appreciated. You do have the option to hunt players that come to your server and quickly bubble.
Hi… An stupid question but very important. Hi John, not a stupid question. Lots of people get mixed up about which generals will affect their battles. So he will not affect your monster rallies. Still kinda of novice.. Lol 23 non coiner… Ban chao for archer tower are there any skill books that help him specifically or any duty officer in thief duty role? No skill books that help with duty.
I understand about the books for the duty generals but what about gear? Question when it comes down to Ban Chao. He has a 3rd specialty Sage. Hi, thank you for the gear section. Really helpful. My plan almost matches with yours for archer attack. Just one thing I was considering differently. Reason: 1. I do not have access to wonder which is required for Fearless Ares Armor. To get wonder I need to do well in SvS and for that I need powerful archer general.
If and when you unlock wonder you can reconsider. And by the way, ach chest armor is a perfectly good choice for ranged generals. I was torn between them but eventually decided on that nice and rare ranged debuff. Little relived. At least for now I can proceed with this. As you said if I get chance to make that ares gear in future, ach gear always can be used in sub general. Only problem is the refinement investment. Please keep posting your articles. Wish you a happy new year in advance.
I have 3 ranges generals and considering which one to build, what do you recommend? Hi, thanks for the question. I prefer the ranged attack debuff, but the other option is great too.
Especially since it saves badges. To counter the expected mounted armies in PVP? To counter the mounted troops who lead the enemy forces and stand at the front. If there are no mounted troops in the target, then mounted or ground is a better choice to attack with.
Thank you for such a comprehensive review of the game! I felt so lost when I started and it kinda felt like a bait and switch.
Many of us really came to enjoy the puzzles, which have not been updated for many months. Anyways, that is not the reason of this email. I have several questions that I looked for answers for online and asked my alliance members who did not know the answers to.
Who should be my go to Boss and PvP General? Should it be Washington, Khalid, or Takeda? Who gets the Red Dragon and who gets the Bird of Hurricane? I also have Wei Qing, is he a better Option to develop? Would you recommend any changes? Should I replace any of them with more copies of Cixi, if so whom and how many copies? Or Cnut if he becomes available? I am only using 1 for boss rallies.
What are your thoughts? Thank you for your help as I plan to play this game for a while. We thought it was more of a puzzle game haha. The game is only available on iOS or Android, but there are free programs that allow you to run an Android emulator on your PC.
You could probably find more info on Google. He has excellent debuffs. Of everything you listed there, Takeda is the best choice for your Mounted. Whether you want to enhance Takeda, or care about Mounted troops at all, depends mostly on your in game alliance in my opinion. You might get Martinus from the puzzle chest anywhere from like, tomorrow, or 6 months away. If your alliance needs help running boss rallies, I think it could be a good plan to somewhat build Takeda in the meantime.
If your alliance can handle boss rallies, I would forget about mounted and focus totally on ranged troops in your position. You have Simeon, who is the clear 1 ranged general. Edward is pretty mediocre next to Simeon.
For your subs, I would go with both Arminius, and fill the remaining spots with Cixi or Andrew Jackson eventually. In the meantime you can use whatever. Sub gens get an awesome amount of exp when they participate in pvp battles. Keep Arminius like I said before. Maybe keep Kiet too, if you decide to take my advice about going fully into ranged troops with Simeon. Kiet would be the best wall general for you for quite some time, in that case. For tavern ranged general who is better, Gustav or Li Shiming?
If range siege combo is only little better than pure ranged, maybe Li shiming? I think pure ranged is better, and I think Li Shimin is slightly slightly better out of those two.
Ranged siege is more of a niche strategy. But obviously messing around with full armies in those buildings is very dangerous so this is a pretty advanced tactic.
I would go with pure ranged until at least k33 before you start to experiment with other pvp troops. Very awesome work. Cleared up a few things and will share this with my alliance. A question for you that we debate 3 times a day. Cav nemesis is ranged. Currently switching to a more hibrid attack no one is expecting. Does this still help cav die less. Hi, I think mounted speed is a good skill to use. Unless your stats are far superior. Attacking with cavs can still be good though.
I have seen similar comment for ground pvp generals like Scipio. Skill with ground attack, defense and ground speed rather than HP. One reason is high ground HP buffs with specialties unlocked.
Other players say never sacrifice the HP for ground speed. Your thoughts? How would you skill these? I assume both could be a hybrid?? I believe in devoting and specializing towards 1 type, which is what most of the battle guide on this website is devoted to explaining. Would you recommend to apply achaemenidae gear on subordinate city generals? Do the debuff skill add up? I actually need to add a section to the guide in reference to this. In general, for a wall general, I believe you want to look for: 1.
Siege attack 2. Ranged attack 3. Siege Attack only? Or mainly Siege and some Ranged? Mounted HP only? Ground Defense only? Or a combination of Ground Defense and Mounted Defense?
I like Li Shimin. If I recall right, Jumong has very low base attack, and attack growth. The actual stat. Hope that helps. Better than both would be, getting Minomoto for free from the puzzle pieces this month for daily logins.
Good luck! Thanks — love reading and constantly refer to your commentary. A few questions: — how much would you recommend spending at the tavern? I have a level 27 tavern and spent about 40k on gems to try to get a jindeok or Baibars but have not gotten 1. I also have a theory that the hardest one to find is your first. Including me. Wow — really appreciate the quick and detailed feedback. Unfortunately I do not have any really good troop generals at the moment and was a bit late in getting the hang of the game so am just working off a strong alliance.
So I guess I should keep with current strategy of focusing on alliance wars, research and construction and building rss until I have decent generals. Hi further questions: — Commentary above discusses Roland vs Hannibal. How does Martinus compare to the above? Martinus, Roland, and Hannibal are the trinity that are basically tied for 1. Pros and cons to each. Without specialties taken into account: — Hannibal reachest the highest Mounted Attack — Roland reaches the highest overall stat total.
With specialties taken into account: — Martinus and Hannibal are tied for 1st place Mounted Attack. Applying all specialties is not easy for most people, so keep that in mind when making your choice. But honestly any one of these guys is absolutely awesome.
As for Zachary… I like him. He seems better than Kiet, who is good for people with tons of archers and not much siege. But in the long run, when your city gets really huge, siege becomes quite a bit more important than ranged troops, so I still think Joseph and Tran are the best. Great thanks for the reply. Its all a lot of information that I am slowly piecing together and processing. Reading your info, given I do not have any premier generals, I am just trying to get my Keep to Level 33 currently K28 as quick as possible and hope that by them I have picked up a good general or 2.
On this basis I am using 4 Baibars to tag onto rallies and double drop. I am just saving everything else as how I have been readinf what you have written is that the focus should be on the top generals and top ach gear as at the top level part of the game ie at K35 that these are the main differentiators and otherwise you would not have as much resources and time to make and refine the ach gear and build up the top generals.
On this basis, I have not built up generals like Barabossa etc. This is a point I am really struggling with at the moment. Note I am in a strong alliance where I do join rallies so do reap those benefits but am too weak for svs and pvp at the moment.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Hi, Really good, informative and easy to understand, thanks for your time and effort. I agree with most of what you write but what about players approaching K30 and maybe K31 who want to succeed in Battlefield and also compete in SvS, after all these are great for earning rss, gold and gems? Or instead going up a full keep level, maybe two. Advancing your cavs to T13 might allow you to perform nearly as well in battlefield as if you had T12 archers.
Even when maxed out with T14s and everything, those T12s still serve us quite well and we need millions of them. I personally did split my attention between cavs and archers. So I completely understand the choice to make archers. Hi, Thx for your nice and informative guides.
What if you have both Tran and Johnston, with Tran a bit more power without the gear. Which one should be used, and what to do with the other. Selling seems a waste of a good gen. Keep him in reserve in case you get more confident in him compared to Tran.
Against a huge boss like the B14 that comes along once in a while, you want the Baibars. In other cases like regular monster farming, Nathaniel might be better if stamina is a concern for you at all. I keep 3 Baibars and 3 Greene. It is a bit of an overkill. I like Greene with the hurricane for primary for everything. I use Baibars for vikings. It is a personal preference of stamina vs the change in DD.
This is why I prefer Baibars. I agree with X that Baibars is better value with the really big ones. The double drop value starts really going up. That said DD I noticed is way less compared to baibars though. But makes me wonder if the system has a way to reduce DD on purpose for green.
Just a wild thought :. Thoughts on this? Love to hear all different ways u use baibar, considering you have 3 greens. Once I switched the bird to Baibars I use him for any high level rallies, because the DD outweighs the stamina savings especially since we only have one in the alliance that will take a B For the other Baibars it is a toss up for me on sending them or Greene.
I definitely prefer Greene if it is a B7-B10 rally. I also have quite a bit of stamina saved up, so that is part of the reason I have gotten more liberal using Baibars. Hi Xy, a great effort in breaking down in your own way the game. In the section before refining, it seemed like you were about to show the equipment for a wall general, but it seems incomplete.
Look below. Would love to see it for JEJ. I got started on that part, realized I needed to take pictures to continue, and just got too busy. Had a really busy week. Thanks Xy. Absolutely, real world takes priority. Hope you made a quick buck in the stock market :. Looking forward. Also I have a question about Robert Lee I got him few days ago he has buff of turning death to wounded. I am wondering if I put him in sub will that buff work on my march while attacking?
Hey Asim, thanks! You could probably devise a simple test to check. I think you got the double luck for courageous dragon ring wrong? I only see it as 20 percent and not 28 percent. Am I missing something why I see only 20 percent my side? The purchase packs will never provide a general that can be bought in the tavern. Some are worthless and some are the same as chest or frags, but never Andrew Jackson.
Curious if you have heard otherwise. Gotten 2 scipio, gwangatto, and maybe 1 or 2 other premiums. But I got Simeon while he was still new.
I know. Very good information and it totally hooked me to do research in game. I am playing in a new server and I have seen some players having all great general like Martinus, Elektra , Barbarossa etc.
How to get lucky with these general? I got Barbaross again from package. Is there is a trick to ensure we get these general? Just people buying packs and getting lucky. More packs, more lucky. I just checked in after a few months, and the new refines section is very useful. My question is do we need to cultivate Politics for Wall Gen, for the death to wounded ratio? Considering that in city defense, any wounded troops beyond hospital size will be dead, so will the death to wounded buff helps?
Outstanding stuff, thank you so much. I got Jadwiga from the Battlefield Shop, what are your thoughts on her? Hi there. Thank you for a wonderful info. Can you help me where to go from here, what should I focus on? What are the things that I can do at the same time? What do you recommend that I specialize in?
Archer, ground or mounted troops? Not ground. Mounted if you want to help your alliance with bosses. Any experience with the new monster skill books? I think the beauty of it is though, that you can use both types of attacking skill books at once. Mounted attack AND mounted monster attack. Or in the case of Martinus, at least you can add the monster attack one.
I need a help regaea what skills to put on li shimin i have Minamoto with range bonus hp and march size. Which Skill books to put really confuse me.
Need a help! Those skills sound just right. My question was what skills to give Li shimin? You should not be taking any losses to your ballista during this defense as long as you keep abatis up, watch for those phract smacks and dirty sbs.
Rams will get hit, however you get 5 heals out of them before they are gone. Results of defending will be honor. Lots of honor. Best way to drop this honor is to build treb cities, and hit with 5k warriors at a time. I always have at least two treb cities at all time so I can drop honor quickly and get back to attacking.

Using a 5k Defending: Now, defending with the 5k defense is the hardest to actively defend with, as adjustments need to be made to properly defend to each incoming attack.
Remember, you can always close gates to waves you dont want to fight against. Reports using 5k defense vs. When running a compact defense, I recommend the following troops inside the city: Workers: Warriors: Scouts: Pikemen: Swordsmen: Archers: Cavalry: Cataphracts: Transporters: Ballista: This defense is more expensive to run on food, however it is more effective against most attacks.
Mech Defense This kind of defense is most oftenly run late in a server, as it requires a lot of mechanical troops and is fairly painful on the food bill. Worker: Warrior: Scouts: Pikemen: Swordsmen: Archers: Cavalry: Cataphracts: Transporters: Ballista: Rams Catapaults: This defense is very expensive on food to run, topping out at about million.

Historic City Searching Event: Explained. Preventing Sub City Mayor Death. The reason the ranges are wide is that the specific percentage or number for you depends on your specific circumstance.
If you have unlocked T14s, your best march can look like k of each T14, T13, T12 archers, 20k of each of the other archers and all other troops at However, if you want to send out a cheaper march, you can also do K T14, K T13 and K T12, 20k of other archers and all other troops at If you are a smaller player, having layers at is too much for your march size, so maybe your ideal march is k T12, K T11, 50K T10s and only for all other troops.
The size of the layer for all other troops many people use , I use is more of an art than science. Layers of will beat layers of all other things equal , for a larger player. However, larger layers also means less room for your most powerful ranged troops and not focusing on the type your general is optimized for.
Scout your enemy and update your layers accordingly. Layering means tricking the enemy troops into under-utilizing their power. With a good idea of what your enemy's layers look like or whether they have layers at all , you should be able craft the optimal layered march to counter.
The formula for ground layers is a little different from ranged troop layers. Ground is mainly used to counter range, and their heavy HP and defense is a natural advantage. Ground's speed stays the same for each tier, but their attack, defense and health increases for each tier.
So every tier of ground moves in battle at the same speed per round, but higher tier ground troops are much less vulnerable. This is why ground marches tend to be more top heavy than ranged marches. You will still want ground layers, and all other troop layers to counter enemy layers.
