- Battle Tips -

Against enemy troops with the same unit type.
     - ex. [5 Artilleries] or [4 Soldiers].
     - This is by far the easiest because you only have to counter 1 type of unit.

Against enemy troops with the same unit type but one or two.
     - ex. [4 Tanks and 1 Soldier] or [3 Tanks and 2 Artilleries].
     - Place units that can counter your enemy troops.
     - Now the tricky part, fighting off 4:1 enemies will also force you to use 4:1 units,
same with the other examples if you are following the countering method. The trick is, you must first kill his or her unit/s that has the lowest number before he or she kills yours.
     - For the example above, aim for the Soldier or the 2 Artilleries first.
     - At most cases, your unit/s will also get killed because your enemies have the advantage too.
     - If that is the case, use a stronger tier unit that can withstand the blow or
     - use a lower tier unit that you no longer need as a sacrifice.

Against enemy troops with 3 different unit types.
     - ex. [1 Artillery, 2 Soldiers and 2 Tanks] or [3 Tanks, 1 Soldier and 1 Artillery]
     - Avoid this kind of encounter as much as possible to lessen you unit losses.
     - For campaign - you will lose a number of units but you can lessen your losses by
using higher tier units and some power-ups against them.
     - For Repelling Invasions - better to hire friends and Expel the Invader.
