Home Guide Forum Archive Overview FAQ Introduction Land Buildings & Population Improvements Races Race by Race Military Faiths Heroes Mages & Spies Government Achievements Realm Options The Law Military Welcome to the military guide. Here you will find information about the various military units each race has. All statistics are in raw format. Attack and Defense is the raw offensive and defensive power. Return describes the return time from battles in hours, Train the training time in hours, please note that training time for the worker unit (the 7:th and last military unit) is one hour, if max workers are trained more workers are enqueued at other hours. This means that it will take some time to train workers so start training quite some time before you need the workers for troop training. Casualties is the casualties on defense/attack in terms of normal losses. 100 = 100% means standard losses, a lower number reduced casualties and a higher number increased casualties. The normal losses could be reduced by bonuses and some buildings but the total reduction can never be more than 80%. Mages and Spies tells you how many spies or mages this unit is worth. A mage is typically worth one mage. Price is the base cost for this unit. Minimum defense a kingdom can have is 2.5x that kingdoms land (plus bonuses). Your generals will not allow you to attack the same kingdom twice in the same hour (only apply to successful attacks). | Human | Coven | Shinobi | Dwarf | Elemental | Elf | | Flameweaver | Vampire | Amazon | Frostzorb | Dark Elf | Goblin | Human Name Attack Defense Return Train Casualties Mages Spies Price Footman 3.0 12.0 9.0 100 345g Pikeman 3.0 9.0 100 320g Longbowman 3.0 7.0 12.0 12.0 100 1,050g, 150l Knight 7.0 3.0 10.0 12.0 100 1,125g, 250r Battle Mage 5.0 1.0 12.0 9.0 100 1.0 1,250g, 150r, 50m Agent 9.0 1.0 1,000g Worker 100g Coven Name Attack Defense Return Train Casualties Mages Spies Price Maven 3.0 1.0 12.0 9.0 100 335g Illusionist 3.0 9.0 100 350g Spirit Hunter 6.0 6.0 12.0 12.0 100 1,000g, 75m Feykith 3.0 3.0 12.0 12.0 70 900g, 75m Frost Sprite 3.0 3.0 12.0 12.0 100 900g, 75m Wizard 9.0 0.8 0.8 1,800g Apprentice 50g, 10m - Feykith gain +1 offense per 15% grasslands, max +4; able to gain fraction. - Frost Sprite gain +1 defense per 15% tundra, max +4; able to gain fraction.
