Haeduans vs TTs

Which should I get for an offensive army? For attack power per wheat cost the haeduan is marginally better (46.6 to the TTs 45) but since it is so small surely only a really big number of them would be worth while. Or am I likely to have that number in the future to benefit from? Also while talking about haeduans, should I have them for defence against cavalry or stick with phalanx? I'm guessing haeduans here.

Hello

Haeduan's would be your better choice, they are both excellent in attack and defence.

I have both of them. I at the moment keep a substantial force of TTs for the raiding because they are very fast and have a good capacity with about another 60%-70% of the TTs number as heudans for the punch(all in my main village). Generally I feel a mix is better since as you said per wheat the heudan is only marginally better, and TTs offer so much more with their pace. The force of heudans will back up the TTs power so it works up nicely. Plus heydans are expensive, so start with getting some TTs to raid people and get resources for heudans later.

Thunders vs Heudans --

Pros:
thunders - faster
heudans - marginally more offense per wheat, substancially more offense per hour building, major better defense (than thunders)

Basically, for the time to get seven heudans, you'd get 9 thunders, so not a huge different in time to build, so, in the same amount of time, you'd get 810 off points in thunders, but 980 off points in heudans.

If you want an army to slaughter the enemy, you want heudans. If you want an army to raid, you want thunders.
