It may not be the best idea to tell other players how many units and what type you have at all your castles, in case they decide to attack you. Just a thought...

I don't think there is an easy answer to this anyway, it all depends what type of player you are, how much production you have etc. As a general rule try and have at least one farmhouse more than is required for the quests and make sure you have as many soldiers as your food production can support. And the strongest possible units available to you, obviously.

You should recruit more soldiers.I had a total army of 350 men when i was your level.

Great, so now that I know your army structure, I'm all set to strike.... just joking! xD

But, as Helmler said, be careful about releasing information on the forums - saying you've got x number of men is already cutting it close... other players who see this may not be as peaceful as me...

Anyway, in response to your original question, I'd say thats waaayyy to small an army. If all of them were vet defenders, then I suppose you'd be fine concentrating on quests and resources, but from what I can see, you're too balanced. This isn't good unless you've got a bigger force and can afford to have defending and attacking armies.

You've got 6 level 1 farm houses atm (excluding quest required ones), and you should defenitely be aiming for level 3s at this point - with enough troops to meet your improved food production. ;D

Of course, you'll need to gradually replace your weaker troops with veterans, and you should be looking to utilize your outposts instead of having a food one filled with dwellings, but NO farmhouses...

you people think i have a so small army i will build some more troops of the strongest kind and have more farm houses.thanks for your suggtion. but i once spied my enemy he is on level 12 he had an army of just one troop

[1384862] ironhidee [None] :: Sept. 3, 2012, 12:58 p.m.

well it depends on the way you play the game.If you wanna be strong and be in a good alliance you need a good number of troops.

1 troop is not an army. 1 troop is a lone surviver of a high level attacking a low level at least 3 times.

Yup, most likely the result of a thrashing by another player...

So? This thread was made so people could give suggestions to you about your army and in-game strategy. Focus on the ask at hand and good luck!

Or a player with all offensive troops that are all out attacking.
