?(Now I'm at a reasonable level 9 or 10, I have to plan my attacks more carefully - twice now I've lost a complete army of 30 (during the MAP adventure treasure castle)as I used the wrong soldiers in the wrong positions 
The game help tells me which soldiers are good against melee / ranged soldiers BUT which ones are the melee and which are the ranged. I can't find a thread with the info on. Can anyone put me straight...?
I guessed there are two types of melee and two types of ranged at this level
Also how do I work out which of my Macemen are two handled swordsmen from the simple macemen or are they all the same once you have created a certain number of them?

melee solders fights with swords and can't fight the enemy from a distance
ranged solders use arrows and a bow and can fight the enemy from a distance

at level 10 you have 4 soldiers Unlocked I think, you have the Macemans, Spearmans, Bowmans and Crossbowmans
The Maceman is a Melee attacker, effective against Ranged defenders such as Bowmans
The Crossbowman is a Ranged attacker, effective agasint melee defenders such as spearman
The Spearman is a Melee Defender
and the Bowman is a Ranged defender
and your macemans are exactly that, Macemans, even if you have 500 macemans they will keep being Macemans, if you want Two handed swordsman you must have a level 4 barracks to Unlock and recruit them

Hey there all, I'm on level 37, In a combat report ranged attackers attack efficiently against melee defenders remember this as when you open recruit above the close button there is a question mark and its written there, and if you want to attack somebody please plan you attack nicely with the melee and ranged soldiers as see in the espionage report. Siege tools are effective and by the help of them you can save your soldiers.

Use macemen when attacking: Maceman, bowman
Use crossbowman when attacking: crossbowman, spearman
Use either against farmers.

Confused, all you should have at lv 13 is: Spearmen, crossbowmen, macemen and bowman.But I'll draw a whole table for you.
Spearmen are good against Macemen and Swordmen ( Defensive)
Macemen are good against Archers and Bowmen. (Offensive)
Bowmen are good against Crossbowmen. ( Defensive)
Crossbowmen are good against Spearmen. ( Offensive)
You don't unlock archers and swordmen until later on.
Archers are okish against all offensive troops.
Swordmen are okayish against both defense and attacking.
You don't unlock Longbowmen, Haliberders, Heavy Crossbowmen and Two Handed Swords until Barracks Lv 4 &5.
Longbowmen are good agianst Heavy Crossbowmen, Crossbowmen ( Defensive)
Haliberdiers are good agianst Two Handed Swords Macemen and Swordmen. ( Defensive)
Two Handed Swords are good against Longbowmen, Archers and Bowmen ( Offensive)
Heavy Crossbowmen are good against Spearmen, Haliberdiers, Swordmen
Hope this helps.

I suppose this kind of question would've been avoided if the quests in early levels are not phrased something like "Recruit 5 maceman / two-handed swordsman" where the only available option for clicking is the maceman hence (probably) causing the confusion of (some) newbies that the recruit maceman button can produce both types when in reality the two-handed swordsman will only be available for recruitment when Barracks Level 4 is reached.

They really wasted an opportunity there - they could have made veteran swordsmen or stronger swordsmen, but the current ones are rubbish.
