Overview

Egyptians

Economy

For beginners: Approachable

Strengths

Armed Slaves have a low resource cost and short base training time.
Temple Guardians provide strong infantry defense per unit.
Waterworks can improve annexed oasis bonuses after its prerequisites are met.

Weaknesses

Low-cost troops still consume crop.
The starting unit has little attack power.
Waterworks is a developed-village investment, not a free starting bonus.

Teutons

Offense

For beginners: Demanding

Strengths

Clubswingers offer inexpensive attack power and short base training.
Spearmen provide an infantry answer to cavalry threats.
Large merchant loads support bulk transfers.

Weaknesses

Clubswingers have particularly weak defense against cavalry.
Merchant journeys are slower than those of the other six tribes.
An offensive opening needs attention, information and replacement resources.

Huns

Offense

For beginners: Demanding

Strengths

Four combat cavalry choices offer several offensive options.
Elite Riders carry the highest attack value in this seven-tribe roster.
The Command Center provides the Hun route to expansion.

Weaknesses

The Makeshift Wall has the smallest troop multiplier of the seven walls.
Cavalry development requires a substantial resource and crop commitment.
A single combat infantry type limits infantry specialisation.

Military

Highlights show the best of the selected tribes. Lower is better for cost per attack point; higher is better for the other summary rows. Equal values share the highlight.

Bars use the maximum across all seven tribes, even when only two are selected. Cost efficiency uses the inverse ratio (best cost ÷ cost).

How to read the data

Summary records exclude scouts, siege and expansion units. Average defense is (infantry defense + cavalry defense) ÷ 2. Role representatives below are derived from the roster: highest anti-cavalry defense among infantry, highest attack among cavalry, and highest average defense among cavalry. One unit can appear in more than one role; this does not imply a special bonus.

Attack = highest combat-unit attack; defense = highest combat-unit average defense; speed = fastest combat unit; logistics = merchant capacity × merchant speed. These four axes are percentages of the seven-tribe maximum. *Beginner friendliness is an editorial 1–5 rating, scaled to 100; it is not an engine stat. The table provides the same values in text.

Merchant values exclude the Trade Office and other bonuses. Cranny values are per resource, before the Teuton attack modifier. Wall values use the rounded troop multiplier in battle resolution. Construction counts exclude Plus and master queues. See each tribe guide for special-building effects. Chief ranges are highlighted by their maximum base reduction.

Egyptians

Waterworks

Waterworks increases the annexed oasis bonus by 5% relative per level: a 25% resource bonus becomes 50% at level 20. It requires a level 10 Hero’s Mansion.

Teutons

Brewery

While a capital festival is active, the Brewery adds its level-based attack bonus across your villages. It also halves chief persuasion and makes catapult targets random. Plan conquest separately.

Against a Teuton attack, Cranny protection is multiplied by 0.8 in this server’s battle resolution.

Huns

Command Center

The Command Center replaces the Residence and Palace for Huns. It handles expansion troop training and capital administration.
