I am looking to improve my overall build for war, since the kingdom I am in now is moving up in the world from warring ghettos to more organised kingdoms.

1) Raise your draft rate to at least 60-65%
2) Train all of the drafted solds into elites (perhaps switch 1 dspa to epa)

No rax? Do you have enough towers to keep up MS?

[SoShaan]

number of homes concerns me because of instant over pop if waved. Renders those nice wpa/tpa number useless too.
Lose the forts
lose the lib
add some towers

[misashi]

pre war get at least 65% draft minimum. your wpa is high so at 65% you're looking at what? 77% of your total population dedicated to military and otherwise?

Drop your libs, they are totally useless and your homes% is a tad high, like SoShaan said, the % of homes you have, if you're waved over 3-4 times you're pretty screwed. doesn't actually render the wpa/tpa useless, but more the fact that you cant send your army out/army leaves due to housing shortages.

Oh yea in war i'd totally take out the banks too, but i'd keep the forts. Also how many times are you planning on attacking, if you can't manage to hit on the tick your army returns, i would reconsider actually using rax.

10%homes
7%farms
17% tgs
11% forts
10% stables
15% guilds
8-10% towers(depending on usage)

mix and mash the other 25%.
If you're active add rax to attack more, maybe some hospitals too.

[aym51]

You need more towers for sure : 10% with good sci.
In war you also need WT imo.
If you really want to run lot of homes you need lot of GS for the overpop like said above.
Libs are a waste. Don't use hospital as elf.
Keep 14-15% guilds to consider new lands coming so you're always at ~12%

[Bishop]

20% guilds (10% for a mystic) is max duration - no need to go above that in war, so youd only need to overbuild a couple of %

[Nobody]

with so few towers your not going to have enough runes to be an effective mage for more than a couple hours at the start of war.. I'm running 17% towers with +80% in channeling sci and I'll empty my entire rune stockpile inside of 24 hours as an elf mystic.... then i'm begging runes from the rest of my kd for the remainder of war... 8% towers is WAY too few, no matter what science you might have invested.

drop the libs, they are too few to make a serious difference to your science.
Reduce your banks to 10% maximum. the additional 3.5% that you have is of limited use.
Reduce your Forts. You don't really need so many. If you want to keep them, 8-12% at most. You could remove them entirely and drop on 10-14% guard stations.

You could increase your TGs for a more of an offense bonus, depending on how you change the rest of your buildings.

Make sure your draft is 63-67% pre-war start. with a troop ratio of 1.5 to 1 offense to defense (a lot of players use 2 to 1, or 3 to 2. and those are fine distributions also)

[Buk]

Yeah 1.5 to 1 is better than 3 to 2
