Troop Building Guide

LS Nukes
They should be built at minimum one for every five cities you possess. They should be built on a +wood island that is somewhat safe and shouldn’t be left in harbor when you aren’t online. They contain only LS and are built using my naval nuke build or something similar. They should only be built with call of the ocean cast on the city or they will take longer than a week to build. Mine top out at about 267 ls.

Land Nukes
I build no pure nukes. Some people like them but I build whatever I have available for resources. I build 70 fast transports and around 70-80 LS. This will support a nuke of 1120 troops. I never use slow transports because fast transports are nearly twice as fast. It takes a little over two days or so to rebuild a land nuke from scratch with max barracks and pop growth cast. Never send an attack without LS. If you send an attack with fewer than 50 LS, you deserve whatever you get 😉 Build these using my land nuke city build.

Standard Defense city
I build 32 fast transports, around 500 land and everything else is Biremes. I usually end up with around 230 or so. These cities not only protect your cities, but also have the flexibility to help hold sieges. Biremes are usually the most important to hold a siege. Build these using my land nuke city build.

Pure Bireme city
I build more of these as the server ages, not so much early on. Only build biremes here. Using the naval nuke city build you usually get around 330 or so.
