Introduction
Evony: The King's Return features four main troop types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Understanding these troop types is essential for building a balanced army and achieving victory in battle.
Key Concept
Troops follow a rock-paper-scissors system where each type is strong against one type and weak against another. Proper troop composition is more important than raw numbers.
Ground Troops
Ground troops are heavily armored infantry units that excel in close combat. They are strong against mounted troops but vulnerable to archers.
Warrior
Royal Guard
Mounted Troops
Mounted troops are fast cavalry units that deal high damage. They are strong against archers but vulnerable to ground troops.
Scout
Dragoon
Archer Troops
Archer troops are ranged units that attack from distance. They are strong against ground troops but vulnerable to mounted troops.
Archer
Arbalester
Siege Machines
Siege machines are specialized units designed for attacking enemy buildings and walls. They have high attack but low defense.
Ballista
Catapult
