Number, type, and strength of defenders.

There are several key things to look for when determining the strength of your defenses:

I suggest using your eyes, because clairvoyance is hard to learn. That is one of the cases for an early quick advance.įirst, when conducting the defense of a castle or city, it’s important to know the strength and depth of your defenses. This layered approach works well in the early game, when settlements can still be converted. That is why it is often smart to place your castles on the outside of your empire, and your cities within.
