Troops

Troops are generic soldiers trained in your castle, villages, and forts.

Infantry
There is only one combat Infantry type troop: Swordsmen. Swordsmen have no special strengths or weaknesses, however they are also the weakest type of unit.

Scouts are also infantry units, however they have a special purpose. Scouts have no attack score, so when they are sent out to spy on an enemy, their defence scores are compaired. If the target's defence is higher, all of your scout are lost, and they the target will lose a number equal to the scouts you sent divided by their scouts defence.

The only known Infantry Heroes are resource boosting heroes, however at least one each of the Spear, Archer, and Calvary heroes have Infantry boosting skills. If you want an Infantry hero to lead you swordsmen, you will need to merge Swordsman boosting skills onto your resource heroes.

Spears
Spearmen are weak against Archers and strong against Calvary. Eventually you will be able to research an advanced type of Spearmen available with significantly higher stats.

Archers
Archers are weak against Calvary, and Strong against Spears. There are also advanced Archers available late in the game.

Calvary
Calvary are weak against Spears, and strong against Archers. Again, advanced Calvary are available to established cities.

Scout Calvary are also calvary troops, but they cannot attack, like Infantry Scouts. They serve as the advanced form of the Scout unit.

Siege Weapons
Rams have a special purpose: the only thing they can damage is the walls of a castle, village, or fort. Catapults serve as the advanced Siege Weapon troops.

There are no known Siege heroes, however at least on each of the Spear, Archer, and Calvary heroes have siege boosting skills.

Research Requirements
All units require their basic building at level 1.

Construction costs and Buildings
All upkeep costs are in crops. Time is the time to train a single unit at Lvl 1 / 15 (10 for infantry units) in hr.:min.:sec. format.
