A serious debate on 'which is best' for attacking, in my mind, requires you to base the arguments on 1-optimal conditions of choice, i.e. Your defense boost (trigger 2) will trigger when the defender is alive and can attack and your targeted unit isn't invulnerable. Your Attack boost (trigger 1) will trigger when any unit is their turn, is alive, AND their target isn't invulnerable. And then you need enough defense so your units don't get one-shot.Ī serious debate/analysis of def/atk boosts would require you to consider the frequency of each boost. The higher you can get the critical hit chance, the lower your attack boosts have to be since they will act as mostly as critical hits. But since GBG goes up to 12000, you can't get that high of a boost. If it were just GE/GvG you could easily give straight numbers, since you can predict the attack boosts on the enemy. The problem is that you can't figure out exact numbers because of GBG. You'll make up the remainder in GBG if you do enough fighting.

At this point in time, attack/defense boosts are becoming more important than FP for heavy fighters, so if you find yourself moving towards heavy fighting, start ignoring FP production more than usual.

Try to get the most attack or defense boosts per tile as possible. Second, keep pushing more efficient buildings. You need units that can do damage, but also be able to take a hit or two. First, try to keep it relatively balanced. In my case my defense boost is already higher than my attack boost, so I plan to go with the great wheel version for the attack boost. One has 30 goods/day and 10 FP, the other 20 goods and 12 FP. But there is no comparable for attack boosts so the great wheel version of the ferris wheel is more in line with other buildings.īut the other benefits aren't equal. The ferris wheel - wonder wheel - doesn't come close to that. The sentinel tower level 2 provides a defense boost of 4 for 1 tile. If you like to use 8 of them and attack then attack boost might be bestĪnd then you need to look at the efficiency of the boost per tile. If it defends your artillery units then defense boost might be best. In the InA the howitzer unit 35/35 is a heavy unit with a range of 6 and equal A/D, so the best here probably relates to how you use it. OTOH the heavy infantry from HMA at 16/26 would benefit more from defense boost. So boosting your attack value would be best IMHO. As an example the catapult unit from EMA. You would have to do your calculations for each unit for each age.
