Troop Comparison

* Notes - Average damage column is determined using the formula described in the Damage Calculation page, and assumes 99 of the specified unit. This is the average damage across all enemy troop types, so will vary depending on the target troop type. The average enemy troop type has 42 health and 7 defense, so actual numbers will be lower against targets with higher health and defense, and it will be higher against targets with lower health and defense. Army is the number of squares on the battlefield the troop takes up, while population is the number of available workers that are required for each unit of the troop. Priestesses do not attack, they only ever heal (if there are compatible troops needing healing).

Here is a comparison of the cost of each troop type and their comparative effectiveness, represented by how many enemies each unit will kill per loss (when the unit dies):
