Why even snipers when we know swords are surviving till date with the 50 percent buff and swords mastery virion.. Stacked crusader shield...stacked and crusader ressurection... Stacked man recruit bombs they will clean the troops till engineer hold them up and snipers will only clean non human troops while every attacker borrows human to attack snipers are useful to attack tanky but not crowded ones why do you need them on wall when there is a human frontline for sure

@PrinceCharming Great advice! If you're competing to hold cities and having an impact on the map, you're always at risk of being attacked so stocking you wall with permadeath units is pointless and in fact counterproductive because strong players farm honor and killing mechs is the best way to do that. The reason deadeyes are great is that there is always a chance they snipe siege/vega/virion so they make your base more risky to attack and that's all you're really trying to do. Dwarf defenses with engineers are still better than any human/rakan setup. Spiders + healers looks like it might actually be unbreakable but I've only seen one video of it in action. The people whining here are the ones that think a few stacks of gold should keep them safe even tho top players know their 100+ stacks of gold can be cleared if someone really wants their city.

I'd also like to add that gold mech front line with Jacques buff is stronger than gold sword front line and you need vega sun gods + viron's resurrect only evens things out because the lower hp of each individual unit means a few swordmen can be easily picked off by much weaker players vs gold mechs that rarely go down to chance.

This game nobody understands, but the troops of your garrison must be proportional. In lich what resists most is, 7 units of scorpions, 8 units of spiders and 3 units of acolytes to withstand 1 attack in the desert with the technology investigated. Skeletons appear before scorpions, are destroyed and resources are lost. Similarly, if a lich has more mummies, acolytes, than spiders and scorpions, appear before and are destroyed because they are not tanks. In my opinion, the best way to defend yourself is to know that troops are the ones that appear when they attack you and not have as a priority to investigate only one troop.
