    It just depends which you use in the right way.

    i think scouts are better because of the time they take to build ...easier to repair after an attack

    Too open for devastation and far too costly to be worth it imo.

    That is unless you have some reports to prove me wrong

    ill get an alliance mate to attack me later and compare phracts to swords, swords are most likely cheaper but, sometimes its just about sheer number of troops youre losing (ie if you have 300k swords and 200k phracts and have 20 bombs incoming you might rather lose say 40k phract compared to 120k sword)

    well, i guess it could be different if you dont have a 1118 attack hero

    Against scouts the obvious defense is triple the warriors to arch minimum. However i still say that is useless because a well placed wave or two decimate those warr, especially if the players offline, and then your mechs/arch are easy pickings.

    I think scouts are most useful when the defender is mech heavy. If used right they cause devastation. I'll gladly lose 1mil scouts to take out 100k balli any day. On top of that they're great for clearing out whatever slight leftovers have been healed or just not quite killed off yet. I.e. you fire off a couple of trade fire waves and are left with handfuls of warr and mechs, including trans.

    That being said however, using only scouts would be a colossal waste of res in many situations. Easier to mech a big opponent, one with millions of sword/pike/etc, or clear sword/pike and trade fire a smaller one. So my vote goes for arch still and forever being the mega troop. Yes that's right over mechs and ponies and scouts, i'll take my arch any day.

    every troop has its place, though how far along in the game will tend to be the big diffrence (mainly because of heros) scouts are easier to feed and you dont need a mountain of archers to feed 1mil scouts (also they are very fast to make). while a mountain of archers will tend to feed themselves, but take a long time to make, so to get alot of them you need a good hero to make them really fast (due to 10 farming loses, you need more troops to be coming out of the racks than your blowing on farming). i made 1mil scouts in just a week with a hero under 200Att, while im always making archers but only have 400k archers.
