Overview

Teutons portrait

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.

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.
Vikings portrait

Vikings

Offense

For beginners: Intermediate

Strengths

  • Viking Raiders combine useful starting attack with a generous carry capacity.
  • Berserkers offer a heavy offensive infantry option.
  • The Big Hospital gives a developed village a larger recovery share and storage.

Weaknesses

  • Berserkers consume more crop than the lighter infantry options.
  • The offensive roster still needs defensive planning.
  • The Big Hospital is a later investment and healing consumes resources.

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.

Tribe-specific buildings
  • Earth Wall
  • Brewery
  • Stone Wall
  • Waterworks
  • Big Hospital
  • Barricade

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.

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.

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.

Vikings

Big Hospital

Spartans and Vikings use the Big Hospital instead of the standard Hospital. Its recovery share and storage are larger; it still needs surviving infrastructure and resources to heal troops.
