Hello if you are here because you want to know the quickest way to build your army, these are only suggestions, opinions, and advice but, you should take them into consideration because they might help you. Feel free to add your suggestions, opinions, and advice.
Building Your Army
At the end of the day I always use the remaining resources I have and go to my highest LVL barracks and build as many of whatever type of troops I want as I can. Note This only works if you have a high resource production rate in your city. Otherwise your city's resources will not be recharged in the morning. If you use this strategy you will only need maybe 3 or 4 barracks when you get to the more advanced units but while you're still on units like pikemen and swordsmen you'd only need 2 or 3 barracks. That way if you have less barracks you can have more cottages and build bigger armies or work on that production rate I talked about earler.
Units
Worker:Designed for logistics transportation, they have barely any fighting ability.
Warrior: Designed for transportation of resources, these units are vulnerable to attacks.
Scout: Specially trained scouts, spy for enemies' resources and intelligence.
Pikemen: Equipped with long pikes, they are effective against horsemen.
Swordsmen: Swordsmen is the strongest melee unit, they are effective against archers.
Archers: Archers are good at performing assualts from long distances. They are effective against nearly all types of infantry.
Calavry: Light-armored calavry are fast andd flexible, they are ideal for performing raids and plunders.
Cataphract: Heavy-armored calavry are both excellent in attack and defense, but are costly.
Transporter: Horse carrage enables you to carry great ammount of resources.
Ballistae: Ballistae have long shooting range. They are effective against other siege weapons.
Battering Ram: Battering Ram is a heavy support weapon, which is used to overcome opponents' fortification.
Catapult: Catapults throw huge rocks from a long distance; they are most effective in destroying enemies' fortifications.
Building Your Defenses
I would advise you to build up your walls to lvl 10 and then use "Michelangalo's Script"(see the section "What to use michelangalo's script on" in "Guides") then build your defenses. I would not recommend the "defensive trebuche" because they can only fire one shot and have to be rebuilt after every battle. I would though recommend the "Archer's Tower" and the "Rolling Log". Also you use your army to defend your city so if you have a large army you don't have to build as many defenses because take into mind that the number of defenses you can build is limited depending on the lvl walls you have and I don't think any building can go past lvl 10 so you only have 55,000 spaces to build defenses at maximum. Also some defenses take up more than one space.
Defenses
Trap: A trap is a defensive tool used to kill enemy infantry. It's effective against rival infantry.
Abatis: Abatises are wooden barricades which are used to stop horsemen.
Archer's Tower: Towers built on city the walls provide vantage point for shooting enemies.
Rolling Log: Huge legnthy logs roll down to crush enemies to death.
Defensive Trebuche: Excellent at destroying enemy siege weapons, a trebuche will only get one shot per battle and then must be rebuilt and reloaded.
