I've been wondering how to get veteran macemen. If someone could tell me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

You have to build a research tower. There are multiple threads about the veterans already, a quick search on the forum would have answered your question.

You need to build a research tower then you will have to unlock veteran macemen with resources... (55k Wood & 55k Stone) not to sure how much

I've already researched them but I'm pretty sure they were 55k wood and 50k stone.
Research times are different though:
Veteran Macemen: 156 hours
Veteran Crossbowman: 156 hours
Veteran Spearmen: 96 hours
Veteran Bowmen: 96 hours
They then replace tier one troops (Maceman, crossbowman, spearman, bowman). You can also train all veteran troops in a level 2 barracks. Although they are rather expensive. For example, 5 veteran maceman cost 805 gold.

I wouldn't recommend researching them until you're at least level 50 despite them becoming available to you at level 39. They aren't that great of an investment until you can afford to comprise your entire army of them.

I disagree with that, I got them when I was level 42, and they helped me a lot, especially for capturing villages and getting loot (as they are faster than the two handed swords andcan carry more loot.)

I agree with you as I am currently level 41 and i got vetern mace and crossbowmen its much easier to capture resource villages and take out other players and they dont take as long as 2handed swordsmen or xbowmen to get to placesxJadetsssx wrote: »I disagree with that, I got them when I was level 42, and they helped me a lot, especially for capturing villages and getting loot (as they are faster than the two handed swords andcan carry more loot.)

Veteran maceman:118 attack power
Two handed sword: 109 attack power
I doesn't help me a lot since I seldom attack other player.If you want to save money , don't train veteran maceman since they are very expensive

The first thing you have to do is get a research tower at level 39.
Then, build Maneuver levels 1 and 2 to unlock the Workbench. Build Workbench levels 1, 2 and 3 to unlock the Plundering Log. Build Plundering Log levels 1 and 2, and finally you will have unlocked Veteran Maceman and Veteran Spearman. Build those, and you will unlock Veteran Crossbowman and Veteran Bowman. Finally, when you are done with that the bottom of the line is Elite Training, which will increase the travel speed of your veterans..

They are actually free now in the daily tasks list when you get to level 39.

Yes, you can also earn them through daily challenges. However, to be able to recruit them permanently, you must unlock them through the research tower.

i think veterans are considered as less powerful when compared to demon and horrors
so they are slighty powerful than 2handed but thier loot capacity
is more
but doing research makes ur resources in main castle less
so didnt upgrade op send res to main castle instanly after research of veterans u can develop op
so tat ur maincastle upgrading is going on unaffected and by the lvlup process is gained

The order is as follows:
2-handed swordsmen (worst)
Veterans (middle)
Demon horror (best)
There's no debate - if veterans weren't as strong as 2HS, people wouldn't do that particular research and if demon horror were weaker than the others, people might not have as much of an incentive to keep their honour up.
Loot capacity generally isn't considered when deciding what troops to use, unless you've got marauders.

Additional question
When you reach title archduke and King
will your veterans be 30% cheaper as well?

No. Veterans are reduced in cost when you reach Count Palatine and Landgrave, and get the macemen/crossbowmen discount. Reaching archduke/king doesn't provide an advantage unless you reach higher titles or still use 2HS and Heavy Xbow.
