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 ?

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 !

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.

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.
