So minimizing damage to yourself can be pretty crucial, and the higher you go in age the more important this becomes. Especially since damaged units do not deliver as much damage, and the more damage you’ve taken the greater hit you take on what you can do for an attack. It’s great to be able to hit hard (and with the bonus of Arctic Orangery, sometimes Hulk smash your opponents with a one-hit kill), but none of that means a thing if you can’t also withstand your opponents attacks to survive to hit. A bonus to attack when you’re attacking, and a bonus to the defense for your attackers.

Attack boost is a percentage gain given to the units you’re using to attack with (which are different from the units you have set to defend your city). To be an effective fighter though, you need to have a decent attack boost. It can be seen in the quests where your only option is to fight, and you’ll find these occasionally in the story line. Sure, you could negotiate with goods for a couple of those things, but it is clear that this game places some emphasis on fighting. Everywhere you turn in this game you’re given chances to be a war-waging superpower of a player. You’re encouraged to fight on the continent map, there’s Guild Expedition, GvG, and attacking the neighborhood (perhaps for points, perhaps for plunder). Do you like to play Forge of Empires aggressively? Does it bring you pleasure when you see your enemy crushed with extreme prejudice by your troops? Do you want nothing more than to be ruthlessly aggressive with the best attack boost possible? You might be a fighter if that’s the case, and you’re in good company.įighting is a huge part of FoE.
