Attack Basics

Each troop type has strengths and weaknesses, for example, Warriors are strong against Cavalry and Siege but weak against Mage.
 * 1) Always scout your opponent and check it's hero gear. Attack with a single troop type that is strong against the majority defending troop type. So if the target is heavy on Cavalry send 100% Warriors against.
 * 2) If the target has a balanced troop mix, send Cavalry first because they are the fastest.
 * 3) Siege is slow and gets inferior research boosts, but can carry lots of resources. DO NOT use in your attacks until all defending troops are dead. Then you can use to plunder if desired.
 * 4) If you have a strong hero with good combat gear, always include them in your attack march. It will punch through Traps with ease.
 * 5) Know your enemy, learn through experience which targets you can easily handle.
 * 6) Never attack a player that has higher tier troops than yours. If all your attacking troops are dead your hero will be captured.
