Troop Sets
A Troop Set is a saved template for forming a troop. By using Troop Sets, you can assign warriors for certain types of marches in advance and save yourself time.
You can save the type, tier, and number of warriors in a Troop Set. The maximum number of warriors in a troop is determined by the bonuses that are active at the moment you save the Set, such as those from boosts, Knowledge, Hero's and Shaman's Skills and equipment, and VIP status.
When creating a reinforcement Set, you can form a mixed troop of warriors and scouts.
There are the following categories of Troop Sets:
- Offense
- Espionage
- Onslaught
- Onslaught on a Town
- Reinforcements
- Troop replenishment
Each category has seven slots: two of them are available from the start, while the others must be unlocked. To do so, you need special items — Warlord Badges. If you unlock a slot in one category, it will become available in the other categories. For example, let's say you unlock the third slot in the Offense category. In that case, the same slot will become available in the Espionage, Reinforcements, Onslaught, and other categories.
You can purchase Warlord Badges in the Item Store for Gold, in the Clan Store for Loyalty Points, and as part of Bank offers.
Creating a Troop Set
To create a Troop Set, go to the Shrine of Odin, open the "In the Town" tab, then the Troop Sets tab. Hit any empty slot (displaying a plus sign) and select the required warriors. Then hit the "Save" button.
After that, you need to assign the icon for the Troop Set: this will help you to navigate through the list of saved Troop Sets. For example, if you create a Troop Set consisting of siege engines only, you can select the catapult icon. To finish Troop Set creation, hit the "Save Set" button.
You can also create a Troop Set in the troop formation window.
Sets in the Espionage category can only contain scouts. If you don't have these warriors, you will not be able to create a Set in this category.
Using Troop Sets
To use Troop Sets, open the troop formation window, then select a certain Set. The warriors saved in it will be automatically added in the numbers you specified. After that, you will be able to send the troop on the march.
In the troop formation window, you can view Troop Sets of the category corresponding to the action you want to perform. That is, if you select an enemy Town on the Global Map and hit the "Onslaught" button, you will see the saved Sets from the Onslaught category in the next window.
If you no longer have warriors that were included in a Troop Set, you will see a special warning on the icon of this Set. You won't be able to use this Set until you have the required number of warriors.
In the troop formation window, please note the icons of the Hero and the Shaman. Hit "Change Hero Set" to open the Hero Sets tab in the Hero's Abode. You can activate the required Set here. Hit "Change Shaman" to open the Shamans tab in the Hall of Mysteries. You can select the required Shaman here.
Editing Troop Sets
You can edit and delete Troop Sets. To edit a Set, go to the Shrine of Odin, select the "In the Town" tab, and find the Troop Sets section. Hit the required Set. In the window that opens, you can change the number of already selected warriors or add new ones.
Remember: you can only add warriors to a Troop Set if they match the Set category and are at your command.
After you have finished distributing warriors, hit the "Save" button to save the Troop Set. If you want to cancel the changes, hit the "Cancel" button. If you need to delete a Troop Set, hit the "Delete" button.
