Thank you so much for this video! I recently redownloaded Forge of Empires, and didn't realize that I had to have a different army set up to defend my city 😅 I've gotten plundered three times in the past two days, and it's no wonder now that my old city from years ago was constantly being plundered. Hopefully it'll give the people who stole my supplies a nasty little surprise if they come back.
I've been waiting for this kind of video. Well done Lil! After getting my score up while in HMA, my hood over in Birka has stopped attacking me so that's much better. Now I'm not always pressured into collecting on time. For HMA defending I have 4 Trebuchet's, the artillery units for HMA, and they can attack from all the way in your back row. So if you get the first turn, you can wipe the floor with that attacker's units pretty easily. For the rest of my Setup, i have 2 Champions, HMA champs, and because I'm short on boosts I managed to get a Color Guard and Military Drummer.
That is a fantastic set up!!! Omg I forgot to mention getting your hood ranking and points up as a tactic, I even had it on my notes!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️ oh Lil!! I will just have to mention it in the How to Plunder video lol 😂
@@LilianatheMagnificent Keep that tip about the score in mind for that video! People, especially new players should know about this. XD But you're doing just fine! Keep doing what you do best!
really informative video! i learned alot! on the other side i dont really like the archeology event so far. seems harder to get the daily specials or atleast i've been very unlucky and all the extra quests is very time consuming. hope u will change my mind though ;)
Yay, I'm so so glad!! Lol I don't necessarily go after the daily specials for this event, I like finding the relics and the slabs. The extra quests are easiest done if you activate all at once and try to group them onto the same quests at the same time. My commentary while pretending to be an archeologist may be riveting 😂
sometimes,i don't mind getting plundered but sometimes really want phone no. of the plunderer to have warm talk...but i've built defense great buildings now.
@@LilianatheMagnificent I have left Trident for a more progressive, more supportive guild. IT WAS A HARD DECISION but they will never move into the 21th century.. You will find me in The Lost Empire.. Come visit and look how my city has blossomed with a more supportive guild . Miss You !
I think in general, buildings which boost the defending army are a waste of space. Up until today i did not even know how to put units in the defending army (mobile player)- jet i still have not been attacked in weeks. I am certain, the most important part is to have more points than the average player. Nobody dares to attack you, if you are in the top 10-20% of your neighborhood. Also note, that the neighborhood depends on your age; Higher ages=more points required to be safe
That depends absolutely on who is your neighbor... I always attack and plunder all of my neighbors...!!! The best solution is to collect your resources on time
@@AngelGreekman Ofcause! But you definetly get plundered a lot more, if you are not in the top 10-20% of your neighborhood. My main point is; Buildings for the defending army are useless. A waste of space. Not that many player plunder the entire neighborhood- but those who do so, with manual fighting, will win pretty much every fight.
I am so glad that I was able to show you how to add army units to your defending army!! Yay, victory for Lil!! I also agree with your observation that is generally true unless you are like me and purposefully leave one unit on purpose to bait someone. 😆 I'm 3rd in my hood this round and was attacked by 2 people.
@@AngelGreekman yes yes yes here is one in violation of the observation and would be like "this sucker doesn't know how to set-up a defending army" 😂 at least that's what I was imagining those players were saying about me. 🙈
@@hughmungus6964 here here I forgot to mention, I agree with the defensive buildings being a waste of space, boosting your attacking army is a much better option!
I played this game back in 2018 played all the way past the Iron age and stopped playing for a few months. Went back on and my city disappeared. I couldn't get it back wasted a year 😪
That's crazy 😧 I don't understand why they would make you spend anything to get it back. I still have people in game whose accounts are there after 2 years of them being inactive. 🥺
I'm being attacked with 7 rouges and 1 heavy infantry and in auto battle my military targets the rouges turning them into heavy infantry what should I do.
Is this when you are actively attacking and if so I would go into manual battle mode so that you can control better who your army targets... A mix of heavy and ranged and rogues will be most helpful. If this is the your defending army when someone attacks your city, unfortunately there is nothing you can do to manipulate actively controlling the army. However, make sure your defending army has a mixture of units and no rogues on it. I prefer 4 heavies, 1 artillery, 1 ranged, and 1 fast unit.
In the top RH corner of your screen (next to the Diamonds +) you have another symbol which you clicked to change worlds. I don't have this on my screen. Do you know how I can get that symbol so I can change worlds easily? BTW, I enjoy your videos and am learning a lot!
You are so sweet! I am so glad that you are learning from them! Are you playing on mobile or on PC? If it is on mobile, you need to go to your settings tab and then you can see your worlds listed there and you can switch between them then. I am on PC in this video.
@@LilianatheMagnificent thanks, I'm on PC. I can just use the settings tab to switch. I've only just discovered that you can have more than one city! I don't think I can handle more than two though! This darn game is quite addictive. :)
@@nette5597 ROFL I know for a fact I absolutely cannot handle more than 2 cities and I can barely handle the 2nd one I have but I love having a baby city for these videos. Oh this game is for sure addictive. 😍😅🙈
Right now I am going with 1 Champion, 1 Cannon, and and the rest Grenadiers (Heavy Unit). I like the Grenadier bc he can attack without getting damage. Using the cannon to convert at least 2 rogues. Most people use the technique to skip or retreat units to the back, and when defensive units come into range of rogues they use rogues to get that high first stike attack.
It's all about finding active and help friends and/or joining a very supportive and active guild. Each will help you get blueprints and/or goods for GBs. 🤩
I wonder how far you can get in the game without it being unlocked. My fourth city doesn't have it unlocked and I want to try that out there. It sucks though, because by not unlocking "military tactics", I can't unlock donations for great buildings 😭 which means no blueprints from anyone else ever.
@@Deathstroke3K 🙈🙈🙈 I don't think very long because great buildings, guild expedition, and guilds are a huge part of the game. The most fun in my opinion. 😍 Just collect on time and you will be safe.
@@Joejoesgotflow Thanks! I have thought about starting a second city but I didn't know what recources would and wouldn't be shared between the two citys. Thanks again.
@@dennisbush9612 You're welcome! And unless your two cities are on the same server or world, you can't exchange goods with yourself. Oh and the Royal bathhouse you can get from ancient egypt, the newest cultural settlement, it's challenging but after your first playthrough you get that building, when it's motivated it can produce a random unit for you at level 1, at level 6 it's 10 units.
@@Joejoesgotflow So wait let me see if I have this straight. Haveing Alcatraz gives you the ability to have your military buildings keep producing more and more unit's? Not just the standard 4 or 5 slots that comes with the building?
@@dennisbush9612 Not from what I heard, but the FoE wiki should have the answer. I just knew from watching Lil that she can get 50 random units from her Traz every day.
Do a lot of GBG advancements each day, finish GE level 4 each week, build a secondary city where you focus on building wishing wells, fountains of youth, and crow's nests. 💎💎💎
Oh boy! That would mostly be due to my St. Marks and Chateau and reoccurring quests. Also, I complete GE level 4 every week for the diamonds and do lots of GBG battles so also my Traz and Attack GBs are high!
So, I understood that in the end is impossible to defend your city to get plundered! If somebody is more advanced can plunder you! Shit! There is someone that plunders me every day, even when I made all necessary not to. Is very annoying!
In that case, definitely be prompt in collecting your city the minute your collections begin popping. Worst case scenario is set a 24 hour city defense shield in your Tavern (tavern boost) and let your city sit so that you can collect everything at once and ensure that it is time that you can consistently collect at each day.

What is the Best "ARMY" Defense against 1 Champion and 7 Rogues.
What era are you in?
@@LilianatheMagnificent Colonial now
Right now I am going with 1 Champion, 1 Cannon, and and the rest Grenadiers (Heavy Unit). I like the Grenadier bc he can attack without getting damage. Using the cannon to convert at least 2 rogues. Most people use the technique to skip or retreat units to the back, and when defensive units come into range of rogues they use rogues to get that high first stike attack.
@@bryanjohnson1628 the rangers are strong against champs in Colonial Age but I like the explanation of your approach. 🤩😍
If you dont put Any unit on defense you will see in the battle record that you have two spear fighters
Correct :-)
From the Iron age your city look VERY IMPRESIVE, how did you get all those items so Earlier, like the ARC ?
It's all about finding active and help friends and/or joining a very supportive and active guild. Each will help you get blueprints and/or goods for GBs. 🤩
Very helpful info. Thank you!
I wish you could visit our guild (The Lions Den) so we can learn new tips from you 😁
What server and world do you play in? You can ask me any question here and I will try my best to help. :-)
If you are afraid of being plundered just dont unlock Military tactics
