The new event is called Paladin Cohort

Greetings, Lord Aussie!

Unfortunately, you can't train these troops because they came to our game from the other game called Throne: Kingdom at War. 

Have a good day 😎

Based on  the knowledge of how far I have progressed in the Paladin Cohort quest, it seems that all the names of the oppostion forces and espionage are not those found in the game and it's just a question of using those you already have at the appropriate level to defeat them.

Thank you guys for the info. Appreciate the help, looks like i'm stuck on lvl 41 as i only have Lvl 6 troops.

Now I understand why the Paladins are here.

It was much easier to copy and paste them from somewhere else than redesign.

I passed level 41 first attempt and I dont have anything more than level 6 troops either. You should have won some 3250% troop number boosts by now that should allow you to seriously outnumber the level 4 paladins with your level 6 troops. Add all your best boost, hero / shaman gear etc to maximise your strength and minimise your losses. (In fact my scouts are only level 3 and 4 and lost less influence than my level 6 troops).

But at some point you will get to a level where the rewards don't justify the expense and you will just have to wait until your troops have grown stronger.

Some also want jam on it.    Jam=jelly, preserves.

Try here and the cartoons at the top of Alice's post, https://plarium.com/forum/en/vikings-war-of-clans/835_news--updates--and-contests/31472_update/ especially middle right.

Also look at the link she posted there as well.  https://vikings-support.plarium.com/web/en/guide/paladins

I had also wondered about the cost  v  reward benefit.

At first I thought it was fun, then somewhat tedious and costly reviving or resurrecting troops .

My palace isn't so hot and I put it aside till later at L26. 

I am sorry that you feel this way, xyz. This crossover was intended to be a collaboration between two projects, but your feedback will surely be considered by our artists😉

Stay tuned!

It isn't a lways easy to express things well in a short message that can come without an indication of mood.

So I am not sure as to how you think I felt when I wrote before.  

It was more an observation than anything else, rather than an actual complaint.

I had originaly thought  Paladins what else are they throwing at the game that they hope with stick and be welcomed.

The fact that it was a collaboration makes even more sense now, and Paladins might make more sense there,in the other game.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what they look like,the game function will be the same.

 The current game is  now a mix of much contradictory element anyway. 

Even when I started playing I thought it was strange that the invaders had nothing to do with vikings, not that was the factor that made me start playing.

Though there's some artwork which I hate looking at ,others I like ,some  better than others , but it and its content is not a big influence for me,though it may well be for other players.

The majority here might  just be fine with Crossovers ,which as  seen on T.V. and elswhere are popular I believe.
