A few days ago I’ve started a series of article about ultimate soldier, you can read the previous article about the infantry unit (part 1 and part 2) or if you are looking the archers unit click here.

Today I’m taking on the cavalry. I unfortunately didn’t played that much with the cavalry, most of my heroes ended up being archer or infantry heroes.
So here the table of the cavalry

Cavalry Ultimate soldier 1 :

Resource Cost :

Best attack

Lionheart Cavaliers

Lionheart Cavaliers have the best attack of the tier-4 cavalry and they even have a little extra against infantry. However they lack defence (worst of the t4 cavalry and even worst that the T2 cavalry, which is really bad) if there lack of defence didn’t scare you off, it’s food per round consumption might make you think twice about grabbing them. At 74 they are the worst of the game even U2 use less food per round that the lionheart.

Runner up for best attack : White stallions

Best Tank (defence)

Iron-clad Cavalry

The Iron-clad have the best defense of all cavalry, so they are a perfect choice to have fast and tanky reinforcement. They however have a lower hp than other cavalry so I don’t know how much it’s make a difference in a fight though.

Runner up for best defense: White stallions 

Glass canon

Lionheart Cavaliers / Flying Monkey Brigade

I’ve already explain that Lionheart Cavaliers have a terrible defense but the Flying Monkey Brigade is not far behind. At 52 it’s the second lowest defense rating of all cavalry.

Greediest

Lionheart Cavaliers / Iron-clad Cavalry

I like I said before Lionheart Cavaliers have the highest food consumption in the game making them the greediest unit. Iron-clad eat  a lot of your food too with a consumption of 65.

Best runner up:

White Stallions

Being no 2 in attack and defense, having a lower consumption and a skill that increases damage and reduce is damage receive vs archer, make the white stallion one of the favorite cavalry among CoK player that went with cavalry. Its only downside is that its cost structure is similar to most U2, you might have to use gold and coupon to change your iron to stone and wood.

Left overs ?

Black Raiders
Black Raiders are in a weird category, they have only 2 points of attack more than the Iron-clad (the last in the U1 cavalry group), they are in the middle in term of defense, they cost mostly food and their skill is against infantry which cavalry unit are already good against.

From what I see mostly in battle and in the forum it seem that the White Stallions and the Iron-clad Cavalry are CoK fan favorite.

There a poll you can check out and vote on the forum about the cavalry u1.

Check out my previous entry on the infantry and the archers.

A few day ago I’ve started a series of article about ultimate soldier, you can read the previous article about the infantry unit or if you are looking the archers unit click here.

Like we saw in my last article, in terms of pure stats The Hammerfists and Chainmail Guard stands out has being either the best attack infantry unit or the best tank. But guess what they have similar cost structure and have a similar cost structure of most ultimate soldier 2 (call U2/T5 too).

Let break them down for you:

Ok let compare the total with the % of resource type use vs the total.

As you can see they have the same cost structure than the U2.  in term of cost they will go well with a U2 with a different cost structure like the war elephant or if you go purely inf and want to do start with u1 and then only do u2 once you got the research or if you use gold and coupon to exchange resources, then the resources distributions doesn’t matter

The Hammerfists vs Chainmail Guard
-Same cost structure ( hammer fist cost less overall though)
-Same cost structure like U2
-Chainmail = highest def. & hp.  lowest att + def bonus def vs cav
-Hammer = highest att. for u1 but low def + dmg bonus vs all troop

More of the same thing ?

There are 2 other that have almost the exact same cost and theirs stats are pretty similar too, the halberdian and the Rattan Infantry. The Halberdian have only 1 point of attack than the rattan infantry but have more def (6 point) and is the third best defence in the infantry units. However, what I like with the Rattan infantry is that it has an bonus defense vs archer and more speed (easier to move around) and their cost configuration complement well the cost of u2 (infantry and archer) since it mostly use iron which is what U2 Inf/arche use less.

Halberdian vs Rattan Infantry
-basically the same cost (mostly iron)
-RI better speed
-H good vs cavalry (extra def/att vs cav)
-RI high def vs archer (so better for attacking city)
-RI bonus damage vs infantry

Gimme ur Food punk !

Yellow Turban, Chargers and Broadsword Sentinels have one thing in common, they cost a lot of food compare to the other infantry unit. Out of the 3 the yellow seem to be the best since it has the highest attack and defense. However it skill can be misleading since it receives more damage and deal more damage, so the Broadsword sentinel(BS) might be tankier than them (the BS have higher hp too). Like I explain in my last post, the charger is a glass canon with is high attack but abysmal def (lower than a royal guard the tier 3 infantry). But the have a super high speed with 21 being even faster than some cavalry, it can make it useful for reinforcement. I personally don’t like the charger, in the current high archer with high leadership environment we have, they wont be able to land attack if they are not with high leadership hero.

Yellow Turbans vs Chargers vs Broadsword Sentinels
-have all high food cost (= not good)
-YT – 159/85
-YT –  Much higher damage dealt to all troop types in exchange for higher damage suffered.
-C  –  153/42 (less def than royal guard)
– C -Higher Unit Attack when attacking cities. Higher damage dealt to City Walls and Buildings.
-C  -best speed for a infantry unit
-BS – 129/71 – Higher Unit Attack and less damage suffered while defending cities.

Alone in the wood
Cost wise the Roving Gallant is the only unit that cost primarily wood which makes it a good complement to the U2 cavalry since it mostly cost a lot of stone and iron. Its skill reduce its damage dealt and receive, but considering it 52 of def (lower than

Like I said previously, Roving Gallant is probably one of the weakest infantry U1, it sole advantage is that its cost complement well the U2 cavalry (Rabid Horseman).

Roving Gallants
-cost primarily wood
-150 attack/ 52 def
-skill reduce damage but reduce damage receive
-best speed for a inf after the charger

That all for the infantry you can check the pool (and vote) about which infantry unit is the best.

Unit list

A few day ago I’ve started a series of article about ultimate soldier, you can read the previous article about how to get them and the archers.

Today I’m taking on the infantry, note that this article is mostly my personal opinion and some input from the members on the forum.
For my first tear down, I’ll focus only on stats, next part I’ll focus on cost.

List of all U1 (with T3 and U2)

	HP	ATK	DEF	SPEED	LOAD	CONS	Special Skill
Royal Guard (T3)	653	102	70	9	650	26	Higher Unit Defense against Infantry attacks
Halberdian	750	143	77	12	1320	63	Higher Unit Attack and less damage suffered while facing Cavalry.
Yellow Turbans	683	159	85	9	1680	56	Much higher damage dealt to all troop types in exchange for higher damage suffered.
The Hammerfists	650	166	58	12	1740	58	Higher damage dealt to all troop types; less damage suffered when attacked.
Chargers	669	153	42	21	1620	54	Higher Unit Attack when attacking cities. Higher damage dealt to City Walls and Buildings.
Roving Gallants	788	150	52	18	1590	53	Less damage dealt in exchange for much less damage received.
Broadsword Sentinels	794	129	71	9	1710	57	Higher Unit Attack and less damage suffered while defending cities.
Chainmail Guard	901	121	100	9	2130	71	Higher Unit Defense against Cavalry attacks.
Rattan Infantry	759	144	71	15	1890	63	Higher Unit Attack against Infantry. Higher Unit Defense against Archer attacks.
Goliaths	1633	311	70	12	1890	63	none

Best Damage output:

The Hammerfists

The Hammerfist are the hardest U1 infantry hitter. It has the highest attack and the skill that gives extra damage against all units (Higher damage dealt to all troop types). Next unit would probably go to the yellow turban since it has the second best attack and have a skill that increases damage.

Tanker:

Chainmail Guard (highest hp and def)

A tank unit is determine by 2 thing its amount of hp and its def (which reduce de damage receive)  since the chainmail guard have the highest in both attribute it win without have any other contender. The next best in line is the yellow turban (again) with the second highest def but its skill that increases damage taken might be misleading, The Halberdian seem to be a good choice too.

Glass Canon:

Chargers / The Hammerfists

While they have high attack and offensive skill, they have about the same hp of a Royal Guard (T3 infantry) and have less defence. I don’t know if the Hammerfists skill “less damage suffered when attacked. “ really have an impact to help their survival but even if you exclude the cost Royal guards are probably better to tank than those 2.

Greediest unit:

Chainmail Guard

With the 71 of consumption they consume more food than almost all other Ultimate soldier (only the Lionheart Cavaliers consume more) and even more the Goliath (the U2). While the chainmail guard cost less food that other U1 it makes it up with its high consumption. If you’re going Chainmail guard keep that in mind so you have alot of food for them.

The WTF unit

Roving Gallants

Decent attack but very weak in defense (second lowest) but its skill make me wonder : “Less damage dealt in exchange for much less damage received. “ So it drop from being a good hitter too being an average hitter and average defender (still probably less than the rattan infantry and halberdian). Not a very good trade off honestly. (honestly we have to look at it’s cost to make sense with that unit)

The forgotten

Broadsword Sentinels/Rattan Infantry

I’ve usually go for the Rattan infantry but not only for the reason here mostly because of their cost (see next post). They have a decent attack/def ratio and its skill usually what predominant in most of the server I’ve played (a high inf/archer army with low cavalry count)

I actually never tried the broadsword sentinels seem cheaper tank than the chainmail guard (and better hitter) when defending cities. Might worth a try on my next server.

So what your favorite infantry unit ?

Next post I’ll compare them cost wise and give you some precious link.

I’ve started a post about the ultimate soldier recently, today I’ll talk about the archers ultimate soldier.

Archer are probably the most used unit in the game and with reason they are super efficient to defend, they gain an extra attacks while on the wall (that mean they get an extra square while defending not a guaranteed 2 attack), many good heroes have cool abilities with them (Deng Ai, Pang tong, etc) and the best U2 is almost undoubtedly the archer u2 the northern assassin.
But despite being the most used unit they lack the number of choice the Infantry and Cavalry have.
Here a quick summary of the u1/u2 archers.

U1 Archer

Mongolian Sniper (Attack partially ignore Cavalry defense.)
cost :
wood:1390 stone: 2220 iron:830 food:1110 total:5550
HP:788
Attack:157

HP:706
Attack:163
Defense:31
Marching Speed:12

wood:4090 stone:6550 iron:2450 food:3270 total:16360
HP:1398
Attack:336
Defense:51
Marching Speed:10
Range:2
Movement:3
Carry Load:1620
Consumption:54

U1 (T4) choice

With 163 attack power and it’s extra damage to all troop types the crossbow elite is the best U1 in term of raw damage output but lack the defense and they might just die before delivering a good blow. Qiang Guerrilla have the highest resistance and their ability give them extra longevity. Mongolian Sniper are just super strong vs cavalry.
The choice usually come down to chose between the quiang and the Crossbow elite since the mongolian sniper don’t offer much compare to the Crossbow elite and have basically the same price. From there
It’s depend on your heroes, style, your resources output (that can be changed though) and what U2 you’re choosing.
Since Crossbow Elite need the same resources distribution than some U2 (NA & Goliath)
I usually go for the Qiang Guerilla.

Note that if money and coupon are not a problem for exchanging your resource, then you might want to go with the Crossbow elite anyway since you can always change the other extra resource to the missing stone (usually) .
I personally rather not build u1 archer when I’m going NA since they use my archery ranges while building and since the NA take like week to finish a whole batch of 100/115, I rather have a mix of inf/arch or cav/arch.

I recently had the chance to review bubblis new word game recently.
You can check the press release here.

At first I had trouble getting how to play Bubblis but with the help of the tutorial I’ve manage to understand the basic of the game. 

Once you understand that you just need to make the word on the right on the line the word is, the game become much easier and fun.

Here how it work : the letter slowly falling in a bubble one by one from the clouds. You to tape where they are going to try to make the word on the right side on the same line, if you don’t taps were the letter goes it might go randomly any were and if there no more space between the letter to fall and the cloud you’re done (like Tetris).
Note when you manage to get your word, all rows under this word are cleared giving you space to dispose of useless letters.

This picture might give you a good idea how it work :

On third line (x3) the player must make the word Robe but since there no letter on the third line the word stay on the right. On the second line the word was jew and since our friend managed to put the letter j and e he only need the letter w to clear the first and second. On the last line, the word that needed to be played is top and he almost got it too only the p missing.

Note that if you mange to get the word from the first line only the first line is clear. Like in the case of our friend, if he manage to get top only the first line is cleared and the letter j and e will fall on the first row instead of the second one.

You can download either the regular version or the HD version of Bubblis. Give Bubblis some love.

The first time I played Lone Survivor I only managed to get near the cat and talk to him. I didn’t click that I could gave him some cat food, that probably because I’ve had already eaten the cat food.

I did  a second pass and I managed to get him to follow me in my apartment, little “Sunny” (That the name I gave him) really did make a difference my character mental health.

This cute little cat is near the hospital in the city. But before seeing the cat you need to get some cat food and the only way to get tin of cat food is to trade “Sleepy Cat comic” for them with the Director. I’ve found a total of 4 comics, they’re probably more but that should be enough to get the cat in your apartment.

Once you got cat food you can go see the cat nears the hospital. Approach him slowly, look the way the cat is moving when you are moving toward him.  If he move stop going toward him and wait until he is acting normal again. Once you are near him talk to him and give him some cat food. He will then go away but don’t worry I’ll be back.

Now you need to go back to your apartment and take a nap. Once you wake up go outside your apartment (take the stair), he should be there and give him an another tin of cat food. Go back to your apartment again and he should be waiting for you at the fire escape window of your room. Just give him some food again and he will enter your apartment you will even be able to give him a name. I don’t actually recall what the 4 can did when I gave him, try it and you will see 🙂

Here a complete video on how to get him:

Update: Giving him a fourth can of food will give you the option to pet him.
