| Name | Short Explanation |
|---|---|
| Research | For Infantry everything from Conscription to Elite Guards For Cavalry everything from Call to arms to Elite Squadron 5 commanders: Military tree > Conscription (2nd), Call to Arms (3rd), Standing Army (4th), Warcraft (5th) |
| Troop type | Cavalry for plains and small hills Infantry for every other terrains |
| Commander | T2 infantry or T2 cavalry to match troops, and all commanders same type |
| Commander points | 10 points in Heroism |
| Army set up | 5 divisions, 5 commanders, 61 T2 troops (57/1/1/1/1) |
| Gear | Terrain gear on commanders only (cheap and works well) Moonshatter gear on commanders only |
And you are good to go! (at least in most cases :)
If you want more details on why, check the rest of the guide.
2. Commanders
With the research in the Military tree you can have up to 5 commanders alive per town (no limit on dead/retire ones).
Since we are all about attack power, T2 commanders are a must as they have the highest attack output. My hunting armies attack output comes mostly from the commanders (~90% of the total attack power), so we'll be focusing on them first.
When you kill NPCs or other player troops, your commanders earn experience points. The calculation is rather simple: each troop have a experience value attached to it, you multiply that by the number you killed and you got the total experience earnt. You then devide that by the number of commanders, and you'll get the experience each commander earnt. You can then assign those points to different traits in the commander page.
Note: Some people in GC mentioned that Division Bonus is better than Heroism for newer player. As show on that spreadsheet that is wrong for any reasonnable player, take heroism first (ALWAYS).
Heroism
Let's start by mentioning the most important bonus for attack: Heroism. Each level your commander has, will add the attack of the troop he is based on 6 times.
Commander attack multiplier with 10 heroism:
(10 x 6) + 1 = 61
61 times the base attack. In the case of Human T2 cavalry 
, the attack is:
65 x 61 = 3,965
To activate the full power of heroism, you need at least the same power in troops in your army, so you'll need 61 knigts or 108 charioteers (3965/37= 107.1, the 37 is the base attack power of charioteers ).
You are free to distribute these troops along the different divisions of your army, but do not break the Elite bonus for your division. Also at least 1 troop need to be under each commander. I usually do:
5 commanders: 57/1/1/1/1 (57 in first division and 1 in each other)
4 commanders: 58/1/1/1
3 commanders: 59/1/1
2 commanders: 60/1
Division Attack Bonus
For pure attack bonus, the second important commander trait is the Division attack bonus.
| Troop Type | Division attack bonus |
|---|---|
| Spears | Close Quarter Penetration: increase the attack of spear commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com) |
| Infantry | Bloodlust: increase the attack of sword commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com) |
| Ranged | Concentrated Fire: increase the attack of bow commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com) |
| Cavalry | Charge: increase the attack of cavalry commander & troops in the division by 10% (T1 com) or 15% (T2 com) |
