Thank you for reminding us of all the bonuses we can use. You wrote about mounted peltasts but I guess it's all the same for all kinds of units, isn't it ?

And what is the coalition bonus please ?

Coalition achievements give Coalition Bonuses.

Oh thank you I didn't know that...

It's not an achivement.

lefeubleu said:

Is there the same thing for an offensive bonus, with any other achievement ?

If any coalition has level 10 Children of Ares achievement, offence statistics of all units for every member will increase 5% 

This article seems to imply that using more than one elixir with the same bonus (fx. defense vs light infantry) makes them stack, instead of choosing the highest one and only using that. The tool tips of the units indicates only ONE elixir is used, but I would hope they are all stacked.

Can someone confirm or deny?

Not quite sure what you mean. There is no type of unit that you could apply two types of elixirs to since units are def. or off. in a specific category (light, heavy, ...).

Hello Archon,

I don't understand clearly what you mean either. But I can tell you for sure that there is only a single elixir for the defensive cavalry units.

And that's the swiftness elixir. 

Here you can find the stats for all levels http://wiki.plarium.com/index.php?title=Elixirs:SWOE

Personally I have level 10 elixir so I will explain it to you with my elixir.

As you can see that's the elixir for defensive cavalry units as I mentioned above. Once you use it on the sanctum of asclepius it will increase your defensive cavalry defense against light infantry by +23%, against heavy infantry by 18.4%, against phalanx by 10.4% and against cavalry by 8%.

So those are not different elixirs it's the same elixir but has various bonuses against various unit categories.

Rockethead said:

think he was asking if we have 3 defs elixers. like swiftness,endurance, and crafting will the 3 elixers stack stats. or does system just use the most powerful one.

Since the eight elixirs apply to separate troop types (light, heavy, ...) and classes (off, def), they would not stack since it is not possible to apply two identical elixirs at the same time.The elixir bonuses of course will stack with other bonuses such as equipment.

Hi

I am slightly confused.

Currently I have Strength lvl6 for Offensive light infantry which seems to be straight forward.

I then have Resistance lv6 that covers "Defensive Light Infantry" but shows all 4 types light/heavy/phalanx/cavalry giving varying degrees of %''s, and finally my 3rd is Swiftness lvl6 covering "Defensive Cavalry" but again showing the 4 types again of %. Presumably you only get 1 buff not the 4 that it shows e.g. light 10%/heavy8%/Phalanx4.8%/cavalary3.25%.

Is this incorrect? 

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers

If you view the details page of any of your units, you'll notice that all units have one offensive value, but four defensive ones. Units will always attack with their offensive strength regardless of the units they target, defensive units do better or worse when defending against a specific unit types. If you analyse your units you'll notice that they generally do better against units of their own type (although there are notable exceptions), that makes picking the right units for a job a challenge.

You can also read up on this in "Defensive Units" in the SWOE Wiki.

Cheers
P.s

Many thanks.

Excellent explanation.   

Just a quick question in the example the light infantry have 10%,  phalanx have 18%% also  heavy infantry shows 10% and the cavalry shows 18% seems at odds with what your saying re slightly more effective defending against light infantry and phalanx.

Should it not be the phalanx and cavalry or have I misunderstood?

Apologies, I did misread the "Resistance Level" values as they are not listed in the usual Light, Heavy, Phal., Cav. order but rather as Light, Phal., Heavy, Cav.. Mea Culpa.

One way of checking the numbers is going to your Acropolis and hovering your mouse above one of the defence values and check the pop-up to see which bonuses are applied in each category.

Thanks

All is clear now.

Years later...

maybe somebody could update it with the new bonuses that have appeared since then...capital discipline lvl20 + agreement lvl32 + general that can (theoretically) reach almost +70%, and the +20% thing earned from production buildings lvl 24 or 25, without even mentioning the +10 or 20 or even 50% from temporary defensive boosts...

mounted peltasts can be brought to a whole new level !

I'm not sure how it works, if all of those bonuses simply apply to the basic unit's value so that we just need to add all the percentages (I think that can reach +200%!) or if it's more complicated.

So I'll just pass :)

PS : I've been struggling a lot lately trying to look for specific threads that seem to hide from me... It would be cool if they could do something to help us find more easily threads we've been commenting in the past or answers to our comments, it's a big mess. anyway, once more I'll just post it there^^

Just for you, Alyona : more than a year ago, Leonidas started a thread asking us to tell about how Sparta changed our life. I answered, saying how my exams were coming up and that I would probably fail, since I had been foolish enough to waste my time here^^  You had asked me to let you know about how it went. And indeed, I got the results a couple weeks ago (yes, my results from 2015-2016, English and French administrations at their finest!), I will have do redo my year :)

PS': there is another thread where Leonidas asked us to give tips to new players, with a chance to win 10,000 drachmas I think, I also participated in that contest, along with another guy, but it seems to have disappeared altogether ! Any clue where I can find it ?

The "Search" is usually my best shot at finding old threads, though I agree that it too is faulty (double entries and results from other game forums). Perhaps someone misunderstood what creating a "spartan" Forum entails ;-). I seem to recall some talk about upgrading the forum, but I can't be sure, I'll ask if you like (or some Mod or CM out there might know?).

• There are two threads so titled, one by Basileus, one by Andrew ...
  
  - Basileus: "Tell us how Sparta: War of Empires changed your life and win Drachmas!"
  - Andrew: "Tell us about how Sparta has changed your life for a chance to win 10,000 Drachmas!"
  
  ... but neither seem to include the content you quoted. Perhaps it was on another occasion?
  
  
• The second one could have been "Share your wisdom for a chance to win 10,000 Drachmas!" to which you contributed though it was hosted by Andrew Adamson, not Leonidas.
