The combat triangle in this game is not really a triangle.
Instead, there are 4 types of attack (Infantry, Armor, Cavalry, Range).
That means there are also 4 types of defense.
I'll use (Inf, Arm, Cav, Rng) respectively to denote the attack/defense types.
So here are the attack/defense type of each soldier.
Soldier Type | Attack Types | Defense Types |
Infantry-1 | Inf | Inf + Arm + Cav |
Infantry-2 | Inf | Inf + Rng |
Infantry-3 | Rng | Inf + Arm + Rng |
Infantry-4 | Arm | Arm + Rng + Cav |
Infantry-5 | Inf | Inf + Arm + Rng |
Infantry-6 | Rng | Arm + Rng + Cav |
Cavalry-1 | Cav | Inf + Rng + Cav |
Cavalry-2 | Cav | Inf + Arm + Rng |
Cavalry-3 | Cav + Arm | Inf + Cav |
Cavalry-4 | Rng + Cav | Inf + Cav |
Any cavalry can beat Infantry-5, since all cavalries has Cav attack, and Infantry-5 does not have Cav defense.
Cavalry-3 and Cavalry-4 are harder to beat, since they have 2 attack types.
For Cavalry-3, the primary attack is Cav, and Arm is the secondary attack.
For Cavalry-4, the Rng attack is higher than the Cav attack.
To counter Cavalry-3 and Cavalry-4, the best type is Infantry-4.
Infantry-4 has defense for Cav, Arm and Rng, and their attack is Arm, which Cavalry-3 and Cavalry-4 has no defense against.
And to complete the loop, Infantry-5 beats Infantry-4.
Summary of the combat triangle ::
Cavalries >>> Infantry-5
Infantry-4 >>> Cavalry-3 + Calvalry-4
Infantry-5 >>> Infantry-4
Since we have 10 soldier types and 4 attack/defense types, above 'triangle' does not describe the whole story.
What about Infantry-6? How do you defeat Cavalry-1 and Cavalry-2?
When you draw out the complete picture, it'll probably be a big mesh.
Anyone wants to help me draw the Combat 'Mesh'? :)
