I've looked around the forum and I couldn't find a military dedicated forum so I decided to create one. I think it would be a good idea to have a military forum where you can post up tips and tricks to help out new players who are interested in military or older players who would like to grow there military experience. So if you have any tips, tricks or advice please post it here.

When moving or settling a military city there are many things to take in some of the most important are:

You want your city to be surrounded by plains because cavalry (the fastest moving Military unit) will most likely be sent by allies to clear sieges and cav gets a large bonus on plains while defensive units (spears/bows) don't

Also you want to try and get your city on a 7 food mountain. That way your troops will have a bonus while defending from clearing attacks. To get a 7 food mountain you will most likely have to terra form.

Cavalry Parade Grounds take up 1100 wood and 2700 clay, So if you wish to settle a town and want it for cav would want to make sure you have 5 wood and 5 clay at the least.

Archers Field. 2700 wood and 1100 iron so 5 wood and 5 iron at the least.

Spearmens Billet, 2700 clay 1100 iron so 5 clay 5 iron for that at the least.

Infantry Quarters. 2700 stone and 1100 iron so 5 stone 5 iron at the least.

Now that is for 7 fooders you of course if you wish to go for 5 fooders you can find 6 clay perhaps 5 wood and such higher resource production but less food production so you may sacrifice Pop and high taxes for more basics Ph for troop production, Or go 7 fooder for some less resource production but higher pop and more higher taxes for larger standing armies during peace, Now of course is someone has A LOT of gold they can just settle on 5 or 7 food and maintain huge armies and go negative in gold a lot without much worry as long as they have the gold.

Someone asked if they could post battle reports, you can post anything..... as long as it relates to military and is appropriate

I think Battle reports would be a disaster. This thread will reach 30 pages in a few weeks. Keep it to information that will help poeple.

Yeah but don't think many people will post

Sometimes a battle report can be used to illustrate a point, like the benefits of having multiple commanders, or the effects of elite divisions, etc. I would hope that people would post commentary with such a report -- that could be useful. I doubt people will be posting every time they kill a legion of rats.

That's a good idea
