Strategy: Upgradetroop

Purpose to upgrade the weapons or armour of troops from the village
When to use when you want to make your troops stronger
When to avoid when you can upgrade buildings to make troops cheaper and quicker than upgrading

The UpgradeTroop strategy will upgrade the nominated troop type to the specified level at the appropriate upgrade site.

The strategy will optionally check periodically if it is time to upgrade and will finish when a desired level is reached.

Notes

  • At the Blacksmith you can upgrade the Weapons of Offensive troops like Swordsman or Imperians
  • At the Armoury you can upgrade the Armour of Defensive troops like Phalanx, Praetorians or Spearmen
  • To upgrade to level X requires a suitable building of at least that level
