Subject: Infantry

I did a test with infantry to see if the battles could be won more cost effectively than with those expensive charioteers.

The following is with 1 infantry fort and an acadamy. In each case (except the last) I sent 16 infantry and the 5 charioteers. Then filled up to 16 and 5 again after they returned. 16 and 5 was not enough for the last battle, but 16 and 7 did it. So here are the results:

Battle 1 Gaza, sent 16in + 5ch, returned 14in + 5ch
Battle 2 Jericho, sent 16in + 5ch, returned 12in + 4ch
Battle 3 Tyre, sent 16in + 5ch, returned 8in + 3ch
Battle 4 Byblos, sent 16in + 5ch, returned 5in + 2ch
Battle 5 Qaadesh, sent 16in + 7ch, returned 5in + 3ch

If my math is correct, the weapons and chariots to support this cost 7935db plus 1000db for the infantry fort. This compares with 8700db for the 29 chariots to go the chariot only route. So it looks like there is no advantage in using infantry rather than charioteers.

Regards,
Elf
