    Just wanted to clear some things up.
    My videos are to explain the mechanics and aren't the definitive "best strategy" as each battle has different variables and therefore different strategies to use. Use these videos to learn how the game works and make the best strategy that fits your playstyle and the type of opponents you face.
    I showed building T1-T3. This is ONLY if you are using a lot of mounted attack buffs and its meant to deal with rallies and killing multiple troop layers. However, if you are using T1 mounted as more of wall and prefer to use ranged refines, you should ONLY build T1s. The ultimate goal is to build enough so you don't lose any to counterattacks.

    • @SteveAdeff
      @SteveAdeff ปีที่แล้ว

      The idea of T1 mounted only is having the 8 billion-ish T1 amount along with as many archers at each layer?
      and this allows you to basically have 0 ground troops of any layer?

      Is one better than the other for defence. Between all cav atk and mostly ranged atk. Also is one better at taking rallies. You mentioned the t2 t3 was for taking rallies. Does that mean the other isn't as effective for them or just two different ways to defend?

  • @JamesRoberts-f8d
    @JamesRoberts-f8d ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Derrick.... I just thought of something you could test the speed books on...
    Evony Age 1:
    Layers were not used in all situations, or not ALL layers were used in all situations.
    Arch bow typically benefited from as many rounds as possible, infact, it got the name "bow" due to having layers.
    Cav marches used ONLY 1 ground. Literally only one ground. More rounds were bad for cav, but the one ground for some reason acted as a "sling shot".
    Without it, cav fell flat. With it, damage output was x10. Key was removing any range type units, or it didn't work.

  • @RedDeerEnquiries
    @RedDeerEnquiries 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is a great explanation- however my only comment would be that the k45 update probably means if I’m being attacked by k43 and over I need to increase the layers - I noticed that they can easily eat through the layers which didn’t used to be the case. One final thought I also realised top siege is not my friend - I made a lot of this early game and have had to dismiss it because the power exchanges were always horrific and I couldn’t ghost all of it. I’m working towards a billion t1 cavs currently

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      When it comes to layers, they will be attacked somewhat randomly by the enemy. This means that your T13 layer may be attacked by the enemy T2,T5,T6 troops before their T14. So having bigger layers will help ensure that your "protective layers" don't random die to the enemy's small layers.
      But you are right, as you play stronger opponents, you will have to adjust your strategy.
      As for Siege. Siege is a huge liability for players that don't have massive siege buffs. I try not to tell players to dismiss troops as those siege can still be useful offensively.

  • @mista_b
    @mista_b ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Whilst the research is appreciated and I assume accurate for the most part, be mindful of building too many top tier archers. The video suggests they won’t be touched, but they absolutely do get touched by enemy siege.
    I play regularly against players with 2500% siege attack buffs, I ghost all troop types so I am left with layers similar to the video. I have 500m T1, with the necessary flat refines. But the enemy siege still wipes out 1m T14 archers and then makes a start on my T13. Again around 1m of those.

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You are correct. Archers will be directly attacked by some mid tier siege and will be directly attacked by high tier siege once all your siege is dead. It may be worthwhile to make T1 siege to absorb those attacks to protect your archers. Or dare I say buff range HP/Def %
      But overall, archers are the most protected units and are generally safe to make all layers of.

  • @SteveAdeff
    @SteveAdeff 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You discuss building lots of archers, but not if a specific tier should be concentrated on. It would seem with the flat refines being best for up to T11, and without being able to be debuffed, that having say 100K Ranged for T1-T10 then concentrate on training many T11 ranged would be the best strategy? If I'm understanding buffs and battle mechanics from your videos properly: Ranged all have the same range, T11 would move closer as necessary fastest (not sure how much this really effectively matters, probably not much), and they would have the highest attack . Other than attacking Siege, an effective mounted or ground lower layers should protect those T11 Ranged. Thoughts?

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It depends on what you are going for. Your 250k layers ground are a liability in a ground/mounted attack, however they will help greatly in and archer/siege attack. And eventually when you outgrow your T1s you will probably be better off with the extra ground. So my advice is to ghost them and unghost them on archer/siege attacks.

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not necessarily. A few things to note. Siege do less damage to archers than they do to siege. Archers have much more defense and hp. And 3rd, the siege will have to go through all your siege layers to get to your archers. You are better ghosting your siege if you see an upcoming siege attack, than letting them get hit (if you can). But make sure you always keep layers.
      You can also unghost your mounted/ground to help deal with siege attacks and any non siege reinforcements would help.

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@bigupmenan Not at all. A solo march of T15 siege would lose to this build. The reason is because it would take several turns for turns for the siege to even get to your archers. Any tier below T11 siege will target your ranged/ground units first. And a T9 siege hitting your T14 archer will do little damage especially since they will more likely be small layers.
      This means that only the attacking T11-T15 siege will be able to take out your siege layers. (Depending on siege range buffs)
      So it will take them at least 4 turns to get through your siege before the T15 with %1500 buffs target your ranged units.
      Now, it would be best if you were able to unghost a mounted/ground march to deal with the siege. But if not, your archers will attack the siege no later than turn 10. Your T1 mounted will absolutely wreck them as well.

      The issue with ground flats is that they will be most effective for low tier ground. This means ghosting your high tier ground and high tier mounted.

      Having a preset of 10/500/1000 of every troop to heal is very useful when it comes to recovering your layers after a hit. It also allows you to make a good march on the spot that you may not have a preset for.
      Say you are hit by an archer march that killed all your mounted layer except for your T1s. You can heal just a few troops in each layer to help in a follow-up attack.
      And since I dont know your experience level, perhaps you are just unfamiliar with the ability to heal presets. If thats the case just go to your hospital to heal troops and click a preset.

Debuffs are better for T1 defenses as a 25% decrease in the enemy's attack is better than a 25% increase in your T1 HP. That said, I focus on duty generals because I feel like they are safe investments since I know I probably wont acquire too many premium ones.

      It is most efficient to focus only on one troop type for defense/hp. Though having two can have its own benefits, not to mentions Ground units are very tanky with these flat buffs. But think about it like a march, we don't send mixed marches because its more efficient to focus on one type with your generals and gear. Defense is not much different.

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      % Range is only better if you are top heavy on ranged units. However, defensively, It is better to have flat attack archer refines on your gear. This is because the flat refines can't be debuffed and they increase your attack more than % refines for all troops below T12. My buff video covers this quite in depth. Also, there are soooooo many sources to get % buffs. There are only research and refines available to get flat buffs

    hey derrick, thanks for the content it's really helpful.
    I have an idea of using a t1 mounted/range trap, all the hp and defense refines will be on the cavs and the atk on range only, do you think that will work?

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, it would work. Having no attack on the mounted units means that they will have less wounds from counterattack, but you will rely heavily on the damage your Ranged do. The problem with that, is if someone attacks with ground, you need enough archers to deal with it.
      You can use my calculator to determine how many ground troops your ranged will kill every turn.
      Oh, also there is one more caveat. There is a rare occurrence where a ground attack will attack your archers before they are done killing the enemy mounted. This is because your archers move to the front lines. I will explain it in a future video, but it's not something to be too concerned for, just something to watch out for.

    why would you want to train T2 and T3 horses after you get past 100M T1? Doesn't this go against the math which is applying a flat refine stat to the lowest possible troop, which is a T1 troop?

    • @DerrickDefies
      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว

      I tried to explain this in my pinned comment. You ONLY would want to do this if you have high flat mounted attack buffs and you want to defend against rallies. The 100m is just an arbitrary number. You may want to do this after you have reached 1 billion Cavs.
      The point is that once your T1s deal enough damage to one shot an enemy's main layer, you can start building T2 to try and one shot 2 layers.
      The benefit is that you kill 2 layers every turn, the downside is that T2s are worth more points than a T1.

    • @DerrickDefies

      No, not at all. Depending on how many you have, you can still ghost the top layers. I keep a Ground march and mounted march ghosted and will sometimes unghost them if I see someone attack me. You can also ghost your top tier siege. If you are too big I would recommend focusing on Def and HP percent buffs and flat attack. Flat attack is best for units below T12 and I would imagine most of your units are. Feel free to make as many ranged units as you desire as they will be well protected. I recommend making traps to help with protection layers to deal with ranged/siege rallies.
      If you want you can add me in game and send me a battle report (have someone attack you with one troop) and your wall generals, and I can give you a better answer.

      This is what I do for my defense. More than half of my attack flats are Archer.
      Archers damage is great even if it's reduced by a troop modifier for ground.
      The reason I suggest mounted attack as well is because you are already building so many of them. 100,000,000 cav hit hard when combined with an attack refine. However, if you made millions of ranged, you could probably forgo mounted attack refine and focus on archer attack and either mounted or ground def and hp.

      @DerrickDefies  ปีที่แล้ว

      Unghost your high tier ground/siege if you have them. Make traps to kill non-archer layers (look at my last video)
      And ask for reinforcements. The reinforcements can just be layers.
      When attacked, the enemy will target the mounted troops with the highest attack. This is generally your highest tier, however when reinforced, flat buffs can great change this. If you have a player reinforce you with just 100 troop layers of mounted with a decently strong general, he will soak an attack for you.
      However, you also want reinforcemenst that will kill through the enemy's rally protective layers more quickly.
      I even use an alt with a strong ranged march to reinforce me and it greatly helps with rallies.
