Forums / Questions and Answers / Defence

I am just starting out in the game, have past the time where I am no longer under protection, I have been trying to build up my army and I have set up my wall's tower's and mage tower's, currently at 80% n increasing, cuse I saw a brigade coming at me, my question is how well can my defences hold out and how much time do I have before they can attack?

It all depends on how strong the attacker is. If you have many towers and full walls you should be able to hold the enemy till you can train some of your own troops.
Have you done any Science upgrades yet? You should do lots of Mining and Magic is very important too cause if you have magic science then you can cast Eye in Sky to see what troops the attacker has. Also with magic you can also freeze the army so they cant get to your city.
Since you're new I guess you did not do magic, well then I suggest build more towers and walls, and train as many troops as you can, if you have many strong troops with full walls enemy should not be able to take your city.
Walls give 100% more defense, so calculate everything you have to be double if you have full walls.

I sure hope you can survive, we need new players :) Do you know on which world you are, what Kingdom is attacking you? You might have 50% land protection but we cant be sure cause I dont know where you are.

all you need to do is open the gates of your cities and i cant attack them anymore, your below 50%.

Also, as far as i know there is no way to cheat in this game.  Zeta is very good at making sure of fair play. 

As for the fast starting, that all takes practice.  In a few eras m sure you'll be the one crushing me in the first week OOP.
