Q&A with CoK Dev Team - 2 Q How do we balance out troops layering for castle defense so that we can defend infantry and siege attacks/rallies but not be susceptible to cavalry attacks at the same time if castle is just an average castle and not a maxed one? A This is not so easy to answer, as there is no full balance as battles would become stalemate. Defending doesnt solely rely on troop layering, if your attributes do not beat or are similar to the e...nemy then no amount of troop layering can help win. Layering your castle should correspond to what focus you have gone in. Pure setup that requires very high attribute values can forego the traditional layering and just stack the dominant troop. However, this can be susceptible to counter types, with no anti counter in place. Therefore, its usually best to go with a traditional layering. When layering your castle for defense remember to think about the troops positioning in the battle. Shield Siege Carts Infantry Spear Cavalry Spear Cavalry Shooter Archer Bowmen Archer Crossbowmen Siege Catapult and then cross-reference these with the troops restraint relationship. Restraint Relationship Infantry Shields No Counter Infantry Spear - Counter melee Cavalry Cavalry Melee - Counter Bow Soldiers, Crossbow, Catapults, Shooters Cavalry Shooter - Counter Bow Soldiers, Crossbow men, Catapults, Shooters Archer Bow soldiers - Counter Spearmen, Carts, Catapults Archer Crossbow - Counter Spearmen, Carts, Catapults Siege Engine Carts - Counter Shield-men, Spearmen, Melee Cavalry Siege Engine Catapult - Counter Shield-men, Spearmen Siege to counter the Infantry Spearmen, Archer to counter the Siege engines, but then Cavalry counter both. So, as we can see the troops counter each other. Thus, at a lower attack ranged its best to have full traditional layering with all troops at equal numbers. At higher attack ranges though, this will not work, as with attribute values and enhancement allow certain troops access to skill that allow them to be more dominant. Such as defend for themselves, or primarily melee units can reach ranged units etc. We hope this helps lords to understand the troop types better for balancing marches and layering them accordingly.
