== Efficiency of Upgrading ==

-
The chart below shows the point at which upgrading [[Shield]] and [[Spear]] increases '''total atk+def''' more than spending the equivalent amount on additional spearfighters.
+
-
Assuming that the benefit of single upgrades in either attack or defense are equivalent, the most cost effective order for upgrading is somewhat asymmetrical.
+
-
That is, Shield to Level 4 is cheaper than Spear Level 2, so you would upgrade them in that order.

Spearfighters are indispensable for island defense.  They can be built in greater numbers per day than [[Archer]]s, while being substantially more powerful than [[Stone Thrower]]s.  When fully upgraded, they offer both the highest possible '''total atk+def''' build-able per day and per gold spent.

Spearfighter

By developing the spear and training the spearfighters, your army will be clearly reinforced. The spearfighter's weapon gives him an above-average level of defence.


Offense level: 10 + Spear
Defense level: 20 + Shield


World 2

Cost: 200 gold, 50 stone, 100 lumber, 1 hour
Requires: Shield (1), Spear (1)


Strategy

Spearfighters are indispensable for island defense. They can be built in greater numbers per day than Archers, while being substantially more powerful than Stone Throwers. When fully upgraded, they offer both the highest possible total atk+def build-able per day and per gold spent.
