Dragons of Atlantis - Troops Description

Porter

The Porter's role is to carry heavy loads for the troops.
These are beginner transport troops. They are only used for carrying small amounts of loot back from a victory. Their load is 200 units, so each Porter can only carry 200 units of resources.

Dragons Of Atlantis Guide - Troops overview

Your army on Atlantide is your strength in the battle, and your first source of resources! With a good army you can attack wilderness and anthropus camps, protect yourself from enemy attacks and especially gain power for each individual item. Each troop types gives a specific power if trained and lose soldiers in battle means losing power in the game! To create an army need to have a garrison.

In this table you can see the resources you need to train the troops 

Important:
1) The power increases when troops are properly trained and decrease when they die!
2) If You do not have enough food to maintain the army, the troops begin to die automatically!
3) The hourly production of food can be negative but as long as you have food reserves in the warehouse, troops may continue to live. 
4) Each type of troop need an amount of resources to be trained. For each type, in its own interface, on the right are present the research carried out and resources owned, and those that still need. The red X implies that it is not yet satisfied with that particular request.

Troops Upkeep and Base Training Time

These attacks can be sent only if a Muster Point is build. Each level of Muster Point allows you to send 10,000 troops at the same time. Each attack must be commanded by a General that can be appointed in the Officers' Quarters. The generals with the attacks acquire stars which are equivalent to their strength. To equal troops therefore, win a general with more stars.

Important:
1) Once sent an attack, if you realize that you have send an incorrect number of soldiers or attacked a stronger player who will surely avenge, you can draw the attack in the Muster Point screen: clicking on the Troops and choosing from the list the one to stop.

The population is not eternal and can climb and descend on the basis of the quantity of taxes, the number of  houses (and their level) and the army possessed. Part of the population will work (in Farms, Quarries, Mines and Lumbermills) and part, if trained, will become troops. The "idle population" are all citizens who are not working or fighting: only the "idle population" can be used to recruit new troops.

Also your Dragon has power of attack and defense, very different from normal troops! Initially the Little Dragon can only defend the city, but from level 8, with the full armour, can also be used for attacks wilderness, Anthropus Campus and enemy cities.
