TROOPS - A BEGINNERS GUIDE
Troops are the backbone of combat. They are recruited in the Barracks from a city's idle population.
There are four types of troops in Evony TKR: Mounted troops, Ground troops, Ranged troops, and Siege machine.
This article explains the characteristics of each, the differences, and how to use them differently.
I think this will be somewhat useful not only for beginners but also for intermediate players, as it will largely lead to an explanation of PvP battle mechanics.

If you are new to the game, you can think of them as follows
Mounted = for PvE (Hunting Monsters)
Other = for PvP (Player vs Player)
Therefore, there is no need to increase the number of troops other than mounted troops until you start doing PvP in earnest.
Ranged and Ground troops can be used to hunt monsters, but they require more than twice as many troops as Mounted troops, so they are not recommended in the early stages of the game.
The same is true for Siege machines, but they are very fragile and should not be used to hunt monsters unless you have enough troops ready to “ensure ZERO wounds”.
However, it is not a bad idea to increase the number of siege machines for resource gathering, as they can carry more than other types of troops.
To elaborate a bit more, here’s what I mean
Mounted = PvE (Hunting Monsters), PvP (vs Ground)
Ground = PvP (vs Ranged), Resource gathering
Ranged = PvP (vs Mounted)
Siege = PvP (vs Ranged), Resource gathering
As you can see, in PvP, there is a rock-paper-scissors relationship between each type of troops.
The basics are as follows. (Note: In case of equal tier, buffs and debuffs)
Mounted is strong against Ground.
Ground is strong against Ranged.
Ranged is strong against Mounted.

Siege machines are a little bit special in that they tend to be strong against ranged and weak against mounted and ground. (However, what I find even more unique is that they are “extremely” strong against troops of lower tier than themselves. I’ll explain more later.)
In addition, some of the monsters have a pre-battle screen that lists the type of troops, such as mounted, ground, ranged. However, as a matter of fact, there is no need to worry about it. (It’s fine to form troops with only mounted. Changing the type of troops doesn’t dramatically improve anything.)
This is just a little brief overview of the troops on Evony, but for a far more detailed, in-depth overview, head over to the troops section of this Evony guide, where I will list in far more detail what you need to know.
Note: This guide is purely hypothetical and created for player guidance. The ideal strategy of construction can vary from player to player, keeping in view their gaming style.
