Ban Chao is the only general that has additional buffs when at duty on the archer tower. All other generals in this duty will be the same but preferably use a gold/ gold historic if you do not have ban chao
I have Ban Chao whether it pays to invest in him end. Since we are 99.99% below the shield I thought to add to him gather skill to take full advantage of it and reduce the investment in one general less.he will have good politics..i hope it is not mistake..what do you think about that
It really is not worth doing this as he does not need to be upgraded in the archer tower until you really need to at a later date. It is much better to get Queen Jindeok and princess lucy for gathering, or just don't bother concentrating on a general for gathering if you don't have one. You can always use your highest generals for gathering and they will do okay
Thanks for the videos you’re making. Please keep them coming. About defense: example - would the default books for, say, Arminius or Cnut work toward defense as wall generals or only when they are used to attack other players? Still trying to get a grasp of how the terminology is used. Some nice de-buffs there but maybe they don’t apply in that situation...? Thanks
Debuffs such as the ones you mention work in attack, defense and when appointed as subordinate city mayor, as long as the subordinate city in question is a part of the battle. This is why you sometimes see people use Gustavus as a Defense general as well as having (everyone does this part) Nero, empress cixi, Andrew Jackson and so on as subordinate city mayors.
Preferably attack and HP skill books. Usually people will be using ranged based main city defense generals and therefore the best books are a combination of the following. Ranged attack, Siege Attack, Ranged HP, Ranged Defense, Siege range bonus, Range troop range bonus. I personally have ranged attack, HP and ranged troop range bonus
Hi! Thanks for all your videos, they have helped me a lot. Have you checked out the new change in the siege range? I still dont understand what it means for defense and for attacks.
It appears they were supposed to change the range to be lower but actually ended up either leaving the range very similar for lower tiers of siege, with the higher tiers getting a significant range increase. This means if you have even one higher level tier of siege your battles may start with a bigger gap in between the armies than previously. This means having tons of lower level siege is not as worthwhile as it used to be, instead building tier 10+ siege troops will be very beneficial especially to defense, although attacking too. More time for siege to get damage in and therefore can work against you if you are going up against someone else that has lots of siege
I appreciate all of the content that you have submitted it is quite useful. If I may put forward some of my thoughts please? We tend to lose perspective of gameplay as there is so much to accomplish. SO....if we think for a moment to collect our thoughts.....there. As a player that is sub level 30 what are our goals when it comes to defending ourselves? Is it defending against level 35's? HARDLY! They will force port you in 2 attacks with no effort. But if you were to compete against like-leveled keeps and below? That could be the scheme to follow. NOW! What is a growing keeps main concern. Training mounts to kill Boss Monsters. What can be useful in the fight against large amounts of mounted troops? ABATIS. Plain and simple. There are only a select few that train evenly across the keep, so early in development Abatis may be your useful trap to create and research masterfully. My scenario is not meant to belittle your theory, if you feel that I have I apologize. Oooh one more thing! I am not trying to say create all Abatis, but put more effort into it. Especially rocks, if you have zero rocks for your siege machines, then they will be used as battering rams. That being said, if your training and buffs are not based on siege I do not think they'd last long enough to be used that way.
You certainly cannot defeat any keep 35, no matter how braindead they are at the levels you mention. As you say it is better to pick your fights, stay protected using truce agreements and only allow lower levels to attack you. Although this is best done with ranged troops, perhaps siege once you starting getting keep 30+. The traps are great to get started for players that don't play too often or are needing to learn a lot. If you are wanting to maximise your defensive capabilities for higher keep levels such as K30+, absolutely no player puts effort into traps, as they die easily in the battlefield event and cannot be revived. Although the main reason is at this point your stats for troops should be so high that traps are completely inferior in damage capability. I do hope this changes in future so the game has more depth there however I guarantee you 9999999% no one cares for traps in higher levels
It depends on a lot of things what is going to work out best, if you are more powerful overall and have better stats than your enemy, you could simply send a majority mounted attack. However if you are more geared towards siege/ranged then sending those two troop types together would work out. Just in case still send a little of everything but try to keep to mostly the troop types i mentioned. Siege/ranged OR mounted. Again, if this person has a ton of siege, good stats and lots of traps then you may still lose so make sure you are powerful enough to take them on. Siege generally dies easily However if they have a lot then they can hurt
Been waiting to collect 30 Joseph E Johnson cards from the daily chest for a proper defence general. I got lucky and purchased Tran Hung Dao from the tavern. I like to keep a lot of siege and ground troops to fend off archer attacks to my keep so I thought he'd be good. My question is about his skill books, I want to get this right. I heard you say once that siege machine range increase and range troop range increase is good for defence general. But if you still like those 2, what would be there third book. Also the next patch notes mention a change to siege range, maybe I should wait and see if the book would become more, or less necessary? Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated 👍
The new changes are in an effort to prevent large siege rallies from being used to cheat the game. Although it also effects the use of siege in all ways, including with ranged. We do not know (i think) the exact change in range and wether it will have a big effect on defense. If it changes too much it might be reverted anyways.. just in case you could go for a ranged troop attack book instead of the siege attack book to fill up the last slot
I have not thoroughly tested whether or not this does anything, even if it were to help, it probably wouldn't be super beneficial in the higher levels of players as traps tend to die a lot in PvP anyway
when troops are wounded you have to go to the hospital building and begin healing them manually. You may choose which troops to heal, or simply select them all at once. It will cost resources to heal them and will take some time until this task is completed, which can be sped up if you want with speed ups
Hey man, i recruited a general with skill 'incraesed ranged troop defence by 35% when general is leading the army'. I though he was a defence general but when I compared defence buffs when he is on and when he is not on the wall, there's no difference. Kindly advise
This may be because of general gear, general level general cultivation and more.. therefore i cannot answer what exactly is causing that, although as long as it says when leading the army these generals should work just fine in attack, defence etc.. a defence stat is not exclusively for defending and generally attack stats are better for anything, even on the wall
@@EvonyGuides sorry i want clarification... when it says when "leading the army"" it means that in march and rallies only .. i can't put it inside the city @duties or what ? To get benefits from the skills or buffs
@@m.a.o3273 it will not work in duties, only generals that say they can be specifically used in a duty will get additional buffs from their default skill. Such as Ban Chao. Skill books you add on never work
Hi, I don't know if I got it right, but have you advised using of generals that are not Wall generals(Cixi, Gustavus) as they are (Ly, J J, Tran)? If so, can you explain it to me is that more beneficial and how? :)
This guide is slightly outdated and I may have mispoken with what you have explained here. I will say that gustavus and other generals like Gwanggaeto which have nice ranged/siege stats work great. Although it is also good to have most of the main city defense generals also such as joseph, tran, kiet and the other newer premium generals like Zachary Taylor.
@@EvonyGuides i didnt know that those stats would work at all if they are not meant to be wall generals, thanks for that info! :) I'm still growing so have couple of them, still not decided which way I'm gonna go. But as f2p I can't get premium generals even though they are great. Thanks again
@@EvonyGuides are there any skills I should use with Menshikov as a keep general? I have tried to find this kind of info and I haven't found anything. I have him in my Keep and I thought for fun I put a Luck skill on him. I haven't been able to find, or get a skill that would help him with construction.
@@mfernandez2113 The Generals used in duties cannot use benefits from the skill books that you give them, it is best to save skill books for other generals that you use in subordinate cities, attacking, defending and those you use against boss monsters.
