What Are the Types of Soldiers?

There are 4 types of troops in Civilization War: Infantry, Archers, Cavalry and Siege Engines.


Training each type of these troops requires a relevant training Barrack building within the Castle, and the higher the level of your these buildings, the stronger troops you can train.


Also, each troop type has 2 sub-types as follows:


Infantry: Swordsman, Spearman

Archers: Crossbowman, Archer

Cavalry: Cavalry, Mounted Archer

Siege Engine: Catapult, Battering Ram


These sub-types are interrelated by the battle superiority and inferiority principles, which with a good use lets you build an effective and unique strategy accordingly.


Here's the table of these relations:



*the above table can be found within any of the Barrack buildings → question mark button at the top right corner of the screen.
