How you build fortified units?
Traps at wall lvl 1
Abatis at wall lvl 2 AND with lvl 1 metal casting (research in academy)
Archers tower at wall lvl 3 AND Archery lvl 3 (research in academy)
Rolling logs at wall lvl 5 AND metal casting lvl 4
Rock Fall at wall lvl 7 AND metal casting lvl 6
What are each fortified unit good protection against:
Traps:
Used against footmen - Workers, scouts, Warriors, Pikemen, Swordmen etc.
Some have experienced that its about 1 to 1 against infantry. I don't think thats the real amount.
I've tried several times to pass 2000 traps with a casualty at 900-1200 warriors. I believe the real amount is about 50-70%
Abatis:
Used against horsemen. Casualties is about 60-80%. Dont attack a city with a high amount of abatis with your cavalry... They'll get crushed
Archers Towers:
My all time favorite! Its really hard to know how good they defend, but they do a great job against all troops. The most popular soldier in Evony seems to be archers, and Archers towers can reach those long range soldiers really good. Build a lot! Its the best defence! You don't need archers for the towers, they're included.
Life: 2.000
Attack: 300
Range: 1.300
Defence: 360
Rolling Logs:
My second most used fortified unit - They can crush an army. Your enemys casualties will be massive from these logs.
Attack: 500
Range: 5.000
Defensive Trebuchet:
Don't think of these until 2-3 weeks of play. When offenders attacking with mechanics they will be crushed. Horsemen and footmen will also be crushed by these stones.
Attack: 800
Range: 1.300
How many?
Good question - If you're in a very aggresive area you've have 3 choices:
1. Teleport to a new area
2. Your alliance-members is close to you now and are able to help you defend if you're getting attacked over and over again, or
3. build one he.. of good defence. :-)
My protection advice for your main city - going out of beginners protection - in a "normal" area:
2.000 Traps
500-1.000 Abatis
1.000-2.500 Archers Towers
250-500 Rolling Logs
- Defensive Trebuchets - You'll need these later, but don't do anything in your power to make these available.
As explained. Its real hard to give some specific advices. Because theres a lot of factors counting in - If you have offended a member of a great alliance theres nothing much you can do... Try keep that in mind.
My best advice is - Try not to offend too many at the same time, and keep your hands off any alliance-member until your own alliance goes to war with them :D
