Turn your City into a war machine

The key to be a strong city is the ability to train large group of army fast.

1. First, HIDE your troops
2. First Priority Train Troop. Use excess resources for Wall Defenses training.
3. To build army fast, build more barracks. I suggest to have 12 or more barracks as high level as you can. Try to achieve training 300 Swordsman in 1 hour or less.
4. Having so many barracks means that you will have very few cottages. You will need enough idle population to train a lot of army. With 12 barracks, you can only have 8 cottages. If you set your tax rate to zero, 8 lvl 7 cottages provide 8 x 2800 population and you can train more than 20k army troops.
5. Concentrate on Tier 2 army like  Calvary, Swordsmen and Baliste. The upkeep per might for 2-tier army is the most efficient. If you still have tier 1 army, you can dispose them by attacking pict camp.
6. With large army you will have problem feeding them, 10k army eat up 80k food per hour!!! Also you will still need a lot for food to train army. Here are ways to overcome this problem

• Upgrade your farm and convert your Sawmill to farm.
• Conquer Grassland or Lake to boost your food production. Go for at least lvl 5 wild. You can let go all    low level conquered wilds at the Castle view..Conquests tab
• Park your army some where else. If you can afford or lucky to get 2nd city, turn that city as outpost. Encamp your army that. The food level will never goes below zero. For the 2nd city, you can turn it into Ore or Stone factory. Make sure you build all your quarries and mines before sending your troop there. You can also upgrade your embassy to support more troops.
• If you have another iPhone or Ipad, you can create another city there and make it as your outpost.

5. Upgrade your Rally Point to allow more concurrent attacks. Go fro lvl 6 and above

6. Upgrade your Knight Tower to provide more Knight to lead the troop. You donot need to assign Knight in every area. Marshall to protect city and train troop fast and boost resources should be enough at your level.

7. Plunder as many cities as possible so to build up your resources.
