Information
The defensive army of a player's town is an army of maximum eight units that defends the town in case of an attack from a neighbouring player.
Neighbours may attack for plunder, points, to get on the champion leader board that wins medles or to keep the game interesting.
Selecting your army
To set a defensive army in your city. Go to the army management screen (shield in left hand corner), this takes you to the units screen, click on the blue shield on the left and then choose any troop you have, you will need to click more units until you have chosen the amount of troops you want to set as a defensive army. If you want to deselect a defence troop, make sure you've chosen the blue shield and click on a chosen troop that is shown with a blue health bar and their health bar will turn green again. Choose a good mix of troops (up to eight units). They don't have to be clicked in to the top "selected army" screen for you to choose them, they just need to have been chosen and appear to have the blue health bar then you know these are your defending units. If you don't choose anything you automatically end up with 2 spearfighters which is a weak defence, but can be a deterrent for those trying to beat armies that are more powerful than that for points.
Healing
If you've been attacked by a neighbour, your defensive troops are immediately fully healed or relifed after the attack (to whatever life they had when they were chosen as defence troops) This means whoever fights you next, fights units at the strength that was set when they were last used as attacking troops until they slowly heal up to full health.
Units heal automatically through time. So if you chose spearfighters for instance, with only 1 health bar left, if someone attacks your city before the time to fully heal has passed, they'll be fighting a weakened unit with whatever health that troop had.
If you use your defence troops for attacking and they get hurt, you could be increasing the attackers chances of winning because that is the strength they will have to defend with during a defensive battle.
Weakened units do less damage in both attack and defence so its a good idea to have decent health remaining when you chose a defensive army.
