Trooper

World War Combat Guide WorldWarCombat — Forums What is trooping? When you troop you build as many troops as possible in order to protect your capital and you secure the capture of your enemies capitals. So, how do I go about trooping? First and foremost, you need to allocate your initial turns. You should build anywhere between 10-100 Infantry Training Centers to help produce troops. Next Build anywhere from 50-200 research labs (a majority of players stick to around 100 research labs). If your on the lower side (50) your research will be slower, where your research will go faster at 200. After 200 labs the rate at which your speed increases greatly diminishes. Allright, now that you've got some infantry training centers producing troops and you've set up some research labs, its time to set some research. Click the research link and then you will be able to set your research from that page. Here is a basic research line for trooping (I've noted what the major research is and what it does, but for more specific details on research click the following link. Research 1. Construction 2. Arithmetic 3. Advanced Weapons 4. Advanced Infantry Training Centers (Increases the output of your Infantry Training Centers by 15%) 5. Advanced Arithmetic 6. Physics 7. Demolitions 8. Artillery Soldiers (Each infantry training center will produce 4 artillery soldiers per cycle. An artillery soldier can destroy tanks and air crafts, but not troops.) 9. Extended Recruitment Offices (Increases the number of new recruits from Infantry Training Centers by 25% (40% extra with Advanced Infantry Training Centers) 10. Green Berets (These elite soldiers raise your troops striking strength to 125%.) 11. Combat Negotiations 12. Seals Team (Seals are able to go into a country and take control with out being detected with 10% militia loss. It also increases attack strength by 150%.) 13. Banking Credentials (Banking Credentials improve your Bank knowledge and have your APR set to 1.75%.) 14. Advanced Banking Credentials I (increases your Bank APR to 2.50%.) 15. Advanced Banking Credentials II (increases your Bank APR to 3.25%.) Once you have your research set, you can bust countries early on if you wish. There are several schools of thought on this matter. You can bust early (before cycle 200) then spend the rest of the time in the capital waiting for somebody to bust you to an enemy capital, or you can not bust any countries at all early on (the latter is generally best for beginner troopers). Your primary job will be to sit enemy capitals and ensure that your capital is safe. You will be involved in kicking enemies from the capitals and ensuring your hostile takeover of their territory. You are a pivotal part of the team with this strategy.
