In BOTH of these cases, produce tier 2 troops until event ends or you achieve the goal you wish. The exception to this is that siege units don't get a big boost to load as they upgrade, so you should produce them until you have more than you need, and then you can upgrade some of the lower tiers.Īlso, there will be events where you need to produce a certain number of tier 2 or higher troops or gain a certain level of power in troops. On paper, its kind of a wash, however, your commanders can only take so many troops into battle, and your hospital can only contain so many wounded, so, its usually better to upgrade troops.

I can’t tell you how many farming alliances I’ve seen get utterly decimated and people stop logging in because they lost literally hundreds of thousands of T4 troops, and all they have left are T1 and T2 because they never upgraded their troops.

Upgrade your damn troops, and don’t allow yourself to become bloated with siege units (they’re useless except for T1, for farming stick them in buildings when offline). You look at your hospital: 90k T1, 60k T2, 30k T3, and 20k T4 are all you have left. Your city gets attacked, it’s now full, and every severely wounded troop after it hits that mark just dies instead. Imagine a situation wherein you have 100k T1 troops, 100k T2 troops, 100k T3 troops, and 300k T4 troops (all numbers are arbitrary, but generally represent the spread you tend to see on farmer cities that have been at T4 for a while). This ensures when they’re next on, they won’t be able to do anything. attack them until they have no troops left that aren’t in the hospital. It’s a pretty common tactic during war to “zero” cities (in my server), i.e. However, if you have more troops than hospital beds, your T1 troops will die faster, your hospital will be full, and everything several wounded after that will die. The cost of training - in both rss and time -T2 troops is equal to the cost of training T1 troops and then upgrading them to T2 troops. Upgrade so long as you won’t waste time (dead time in the training building).
