    The basis behind tradefire is very simple although to completely understand it you need to also understand unit range and unit speed.

    ACHIEVING TRADEFIRE
    To achieve tradefire to need to either one shot or three shot the opposing enemy cavalry. The reason this needs to happen is because defending archers in a city have a range of 2400 because of the wall bonus while attacking archers only have a range of 1800 meaning the defending archers can get fire onto your marching troops before they have a chance to fire back. keeping even a small number of cavalry in your city can ruin the attacking enemies chances of getting tradefire on your archers. If however you are attacking its much better to try to spam out all the cavalry with pikemen/warriors before trying to attain tradefire.

    Archers speed is 500 with full tech meaning if both the defending and opposing archers move then a gap of 1000 has been closed on the battlefield. However if only one set of archers move then the defending archers will get free rounds of firing on your troops, while you archers will keep firing on the opposing swordsmen. This means if the enemy has a large amount of swordsmen in their city, you will not get any fire on the opposing archers.

    To achieve tradefire when all the defending layers are gone before the archers (e.g. pikemen, swordsmen etc), you can send 500 cavalry and the rest archers (99,500 or more), however you must send enough cavalry so they done get killed straight away by the remaining abatis in the city. So if there is a large number of abatis left in the city you can increase the number of cavalry in the wave to 50% of the number of abatis remaining. Correct layering of your waves can be the main factor when trying to achieve tradefire in player versus player, against NPC's and historic cities however it is much easier.

    Either this guide is talking about tradefire in 5.2k ranged combat..

    Or it doesn't know what it's talking about.

    I would think keeping a 4 to 1 Sword/Archer Ratio would help protect your archers... so you need 32m Swords

    Well, the OPs original question is flawed in that you can't stop a range to range tradefire with a CD to begin with. So that guide could only be referring to 5.2k trading.

    anyone with a 15 set that does not understand the simple mechanics of a CD should lay down their arms and go back to playing Mario Bros.

    8m archer
    1m balli
    200k pults


    my question is,with defending HH (350 attack+400 intel) how many cavalry will i need to keep in the city to stop attacking waves of 99,500arch 500cav hitting my archer?

    will be a 15set defending and probably 15set attacking
    youre ina compact defence, so no amount of anything except for ats will prevent attacking ranged units from targeting your archers

    Why are you citing a guide for a 5.2k defense when asking about CD?

    That's like citing the reference material for Mac OSX when asking about Windows.
