Description

Sword fighters are usually barely armoured and fight without shields to retain their mobility. Thus they can circulate around the immobile Phalanx formation and attack from the flanks.

• During battle, Swordsmen deploy to the flanks, unless they are needed to fill the front battle line.
• The Mini battlefield has no allowance for flank units, unless of course the garrison limit is reached, in which case you should refer to the Big battlefield size below.
• 30 Swordsmen fill the flank space of the Small, Medium, and Large battlefields. The Small, Medium, and Large battlefields have 2, 4, and 6 flank spaces, respectively, allowing for 60, 120, and 180 on the field for those sizes of fields.
• 40 Swordsmen fill the flank space of the Big battlefield, and there are 6 spaces, allowing for 240 on the field.

Attack Sequence

Flanks → Long-range weapons battle line → Artillery → Front battle line

Training times

$Training \ time \ = \left \lceil Base \ time \times 0.95 ^ {n - n_0} \right \rceil$

where:

• Training time: The calculated time (in seconds) needed to train the specific unit on the n^th Barracks' level.
• Base time: The time (in senonds) needed to train the specific unit on the Barracks' first level that the specific unit can be trained [for this unit 3 minutes = 180 seconds].
• n: The n^th Barracks' level.
• n₀: The Barracks' first level where the specific unit can be trained [for this unit is the 6^th Level].

• 1 - 10
• 11 - 20
• 21 - 30
• 31 - 40
• 41 - 50
• 51 - 54

Notes

• On December 15, 2015 in Patch 0.7.0;   Levels 50 – 54 were removed from the Barracks.

  These levels were not possible because their resource requirements exceeding the towns storage capacity even if you used the premium feature Steam Lifter to double your storage.

• These levels are shown as  Levels 50 - 54 .
