Do you want to get started? I can understand. But let me point out a few things:
The game matchmaking is divided into different tier levels:
Tier I, II, III: Only possible against bots
Tier III, IV and V: Low tier matchmaking
Tier V, VI, VII: Mid tier matchmaking
Tier VIII, IX, X: High tier matchmaking
Due to the unfortunately still small number of players, however, mid and high tier matchmaking is mostly combined. Rarely it can also happen that you play with Tier V against Tier X.
At the beginning of this guide I drew attention to the "consumables". You can't equip them from Tier 1, you unlock them with Tier 2. From Tier VII (7) you even have 2 slots for "consumables". These give your unit a certain buff. Depending on whether you want to get stronger, last longer or For example, if you want to achieve more "impact damage" in direct cavalry 1vs1, you should choose wisely here. As a Pikeman, for example, it makes sense to have a "consumable" with you that doesn't passively improve a statistic, but that you have to actively trigger, which then improves the defense or morale of surrounding units, for example.
Have you looked at all the units a bit so far? Would you like to learn a bit more about the units and their stats? Then be sure to check out the Unit Comparison.
There, all units and their statistics were painstakingly compared with each other. In addition, based on the opinions of various experienced players, you will find an assessment of which commander you should play with which unit and what the strengths/weaknesses of each are.
