Archers, are they worth building ?

^ this.

And for time to time you will. There is no 'perfect' D build.

I agree, there is only the defence that you prefer.

you could even have 20k of spears and say that is your best defence, you would be an idiot, but it doesnt make it wrong.

There's more than archers in that village. It's got spears and hc in there too. It's just that the original question was about archers.

Well I'm getting there. Give me a break, I just started this world a few days ago.

there is one thing you guys are doing wrong with your sims

you are using 1 defense nuke against 1 offense nuke

try stacking. 3 or more defense nukes and have that same 1 offense nuke hit

since i asked here. i've run a bunch of sims
i found some very interesting results

i'm also going to try some other suggestions here

i think LONG TERM. which means stacked villages
cause 1 vs 1. the results are VERY VERY different from stacked cities

Haven't found 1 nuke that could kill my defense yet. Put 15 of them in a village and you got no worries.

as soon as your opponents start hitting deff like that they build axe and ma (takes 12% longer to train than axe/lc but does 114% more damage) and you start getting hit with off like:

7075 axe
2585 ma

No rams?

Also, how do you figure 114% better?

of course there will be rams.

training axe and lcav give you ~12.53 general attack and ~22.32 cavalry attack per population
training axe and ma give you ~14.15 general attack and ~15.51 archer attack per population
the defense being attacked has 370:264:101 gd:cd:ad

just play with the simulator and you'll see what I mean, by axe&ma doing 114% more damage than axe&lc

you are using 1 defense nuke against 1 offense nuke
no

Allow me to direct you to the "comparing buildups" tab of this excel sheet...

The LC + AXE is approximately 12% stronger than the MA + AXE

nice spreadsheet :icon_cool:
(12.53 + 22.32) / (14.15 + 15.51) = 17% more raw strength with axe & lcav than axe & ma, not just 12%
ma have 120 attack, not 130. Try changing that, and you'll get the same result I think.

though I said, 114% more damaging. well, now that I look closer, it caps at ~129% more damaging, not 114%

yes axe and lcav have more "raw" attack strength, but you need to consider what you're attacking - it's a lot stronger against infantry and cavalry than archers

No nuke is able to kill an entire defence village yet.
usually its 2 or 3.

Lol, I don't think anyone uses that D build. At least get some SP is what I would do and more HC.

well, it's his build, and he's the one that made the claim, "No nuke is able to kill an entire defence village." :lol:

Ok i recently came across a strange type of defence, but still just as effective as the one mentioned above.

14500 archers
1000 HC

I didnt say it was my build, and your taking the quote out of context.
I never said it would be effective against an MA nuke.
