Raw vs Modifier

[griffter99]

somebody told me that

"so offense out of trained army is always better then offense from modifiers like buildings and 200% wages"


question:

1. so which is better as an attacker hight draft attacker with 100% wages (lets say 85% draft)

or

decent draft attacker with 200% wages (lets say 70% draft)?


im playing attacker this age and im confused

200% wages and 70% draft

100% wages and 85% 3 landgrabs on you and you are overpoped already badly as there are not allot of pezzies that can desert so you lose allot of troops true desertions and your econ is wrecked. <-- what is already was at 85% draft

You have to take into account BE to and running such high draft kills your BE or you could use 80% homes and raze than quick build them with BB to war build so you have a few days of max BE ( it will go down but it can be worth it

They are incorrect. Offense from trained units have NW. Offense from mods do not.

training anything above 70% is pretty dumb, riot and greed and you cant send out without aid :P

[Topsy]

nosebleed, you don't get chained much, do you?

[Avenger]

You sometimes go over 70% quite easily, whether you like it or not (chains, fireballs, etc).
@op: Use 200% wages unless EoWCF (when you need the income). People usually train up to the point their BE hurts a lot (<80%).

Raw military is important, but wages is too good a mod to pass up.

[NoseBlood]

nosebleed, you don't get chained much, do you?

ive prolly been chained more times then most ppl, why?

[Crypticterror]

Or you are really active and good and a big treat with high offence or a hybrid they want to take out or you have a sucky province.

if you raise high draft and dont use mods, then youre significantly raising your NW, which will lead to higher gains on yourself. also raising chances of overpop hugely.
modifiers, ESPECIALLY 200% wages, do not raise your NW, making you more cost-efficient at a lower draft and less susceptible to overpop.
