A Tip on Units Promotion

[onedreamer]

it's actually suggested in the ingame tips like when you load a game

First strike is actually a very good ability to choose. In terms of winning odds, it usually equals to 17-19% increase in strength.

Uhhh...no.

*IF* you're fighting units at or near your First Striker's Strength, then yes... but First Striking Archers versus Musketmen are just dead meat -- they'll potentially not take damage for ONE turn, then die horribly as the battle concludes.

First strike is totally useless. A unit with first strike will loose something like 60% of the time vs the same type of unit with Combat I

/DaK/

i just found out.. armoured units with barrage 1 + city raider.. after blasting the opponent's defence bonuses and then attacking the city.. is VERY VERY EFFECTIVE..
