how to build your defending army in forge of empires

So if you chose spearfighters for instance, with only 1 health bar left, if someone attacks your city before the time to fully heal has passed, they'll be fighting a weakened unit with whatever health that troop had. In other words, any damage an attacker does to your defending units is purely for that player, and does not apply to other players. This means that everyone who attacks you will face units with the health they have when they were put into defense, plus the health they recover if they are damaged when you put them onto defense. Defending troops can still fight in offensive battles, but if they are lost they will no longer defend your city.Īfter you've been attacked by a neighbor, your defensive troops are immediately fully healed after the attack (to whatever life they had when they were chosen as defense troops).

If you don't choose anything you automatically end up with 2 spearfighters which is an extremely hilarious and weak defense, although it can be a deterrent for those trying to attack you for points. They don't have to be clicked in to the top 'selected army' screen for you to choose them, they just need to have been chosen and appear to have the blue health bar then you know these are your defending units. Choose a good mix of troops (up to eight units).

If you want to deselect a defending unit, make sure you've chosen the blue shield and click on a chosen unit that is shown with a blue health bar and their unit picture will turn green again. To set a defensive army in your city, go to the army management screen, click on the blue shield on the left and then choose any unit you have, and it will turn blue, meaning it is defending your city.

Neighbors may attack for plundering, battle points, to get on the champion leader board to win medals, or to keep the game interesting/boredom. The defensive army of a player's town is an army of maximum eight units that defends the town in case of an attack from a neighboring player.
