[Question] Battle tips for beginners...

[Bonobas]

Hi, there...
So, as it says, where do I begin when I want to switch from auto battle to manual combat? I did already some auto battles and I think I'm loosing too many troops even they are two eras ahead. How does AI work? Which troops are attacked first? Nearest? Weakest? Is there a detailed guide for that?
Thanks and have a good day!

You should always start with manual battle until you have enough experience to know pretty much how the battle will go if you use auto battle. In other words, never use auto battle unless you know for sure the battle can't be lost.

OK,... And what about AI? Is there any rules how it acts? Or is it pretty random?

Are you talking about the AI defense you're facing or the AI that handles your troops when you hit auto battle? The only thing I know for sure is that the AI defense will always target Rogues first if they can reach them, except on the Campaign Map battles.

The defending AI works somewhat differently depending on where you are battling: Continental map, GE or your neighbors city. As a general rule rogues are attacked 1st in GE and the City and last on the continental map. Mostly the AI will target the next unit to move or go after wounded units 1st. As far as I know no one has put out comprehension guide to how the AI acts......

What I suggest you do (if you are on PC) is watch the battle after you hit auto. It will give you some idea how the units work for your side run by the AI and the defender.

When Attacked and home guard wins you should get points for a battle and for Abusive attackers maybe a HitList for those whom plunder your goods repeatedly . some of us are not CREDIT CARD Players and don't have land to build next defensive army yet or have older pc and can not fight in manual battles that good . love the game but gets frustrating ? Hanging inThere till I can upgrade computer !
