Training

If you thought the 212 knight was hard to understand than the training will be difficult as well.  Several people are asking what t1 t2 and t3 mean.  This is a short way of talking about a certain set of troops t1 is tier 1 troops which are  light cavalry, militiamen, and archers.   The t2 troops are cavalry, swordmen, and ballistae.  The  t3 troops are heavy cavalry, battering rams, and catapults. You can see this by looking at how many stars each troop has in the same screen where you train your troops.  The same thing applies to wall troops.  the t1 is the weakest troop and the t3 are the strongest.  The  troops you train varies from person to person.  some people don't train t1 at all and they use is t2  as a basic troop since its right in the middle.  I personally don't train t2.   I use t1  for easy kills and farming and t3 for battle and heavy hitting.  So the troops you train is always a personal choice and there is no set way to train or a set troop to train.    Alot of people believe militiamen, swordsmen, and heavy cavalry are the most powerful  troops and they train only those troops.  Since most people believe this even if they train the other troops they tend to train these troops more than others.   That's why I tend to train light cavalry more than militiamen because militiamen are weak against light cavalry.   So long story short an even mixture of whatever tier troop is advised.  Ok so you have three cities and you may want to know what to train in each city.  Some people train a single tier troop in each city.  others just train whatever.  Some people train based on their schedules.   so once again there isn't a set troop to train or when to train or where to train them its a personal choice.  I train t3 when I'm going to go to be out because the training takes longer and ill be off line longer.  I train t3 when I wake up as well because I'll be at work and once again those trains take longer.   Once work slows down or I'm done for the day and I'm online and chatting I train t1 because I'm setting trains more frequently.    This is what works for me and may not work for you or it may work perfectly for you.  I have been on several peoples accounts and a lot of people don't train the way I do.   They train t1 only in troop city because they train faster and they dont have to reassign troops.  If this works best for you then do it.  Important to note is tat if you want to train cavalry your stable will allow you to train cavalry and heavy cavalry.    Since I train all tiers in all cities this works for me.  If you stick to one tier per city then this isn't for you.   I have removed the stable from one of my cities and I train the heavy cavalry in my other cities.  I have also removed my workshop in a different city.  The workshop allows you to build ballistae, trebuchets (wall troop) and cataputs.  I build these troops in the other two cities.  This makes room for an additional barrack or cottage in the cities and I can still train all troops.  BEFORE you do this though  make sure you don't need these buildings to upgrade other buildings or do researches.   please double check first!
