Tips
- Nobody attacks with spears.
- Spears have terrible bow defense.
- Bows defend better than they attack.
- Infantry is a flexible attacker.
- Nothing beats attacking cavalry on plains.
- Cavalry sucks at defense.
Elite Divisions:
Elite divisions double the bonuses and penalties for any crafted equipment currently equipped on the troops and commander. As such, for a division to be considered elite, you must complete the appropriate research for the unit type, the troops in that division must all be of the same type – i.e., all infantry or all cavalry, the total number of troops in the division must be no larger than the amount specified in the research and the troops and commander must be equipped with crafted armour, weapons and/or horses.

Defense Modifiers:
| Terrain Type | Cavalry | Spears | Infantry | Ranged |
| Buildings | -45 | 25 | 30 | 15 |
| Large Forest | -15 | 5 | 25 | -20 |
| Large Hill | -10 | 10 | 5 | 15 |

| Small Forest | -10 | 10 | 30 | -10 |
| Small Hill | 0 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Small Mountain | -15 | 15 | 5 | 15 |
Quick rules of thumb:
- Plains = Cavalry playground.
- Forests (large/small) = Infantry town.
- Hills/Mountains = Favor Ranged on defense; Infantry keeps up on attack.
- Buildings = Infantry breach and hold.
- Spears are mostly niche—shine defensively on small mountain/hill and do fine in buildings; otherwise meh.
