"Advanced Recruitment
Allows the deployment of troops from Barracks into higher level armies. "

how du we use this tech, ive researched it but dono how 2 use it???

With advanced recruitment you can move higher level armies back into your barracks and add more troops to it but at an additional cost so be careful of that.
You can also combine same level armies in the barracks or in the field with this tech by moving the units adjacent to each other and if they both have at least 100% BPs you will find a transfer button to right of screen that will allow you to combine them.

PS:
Combining same level troops is at no charge but it may only be for level one troops. I can't remember if you need expert recruitment to combine same level upper level troops in the field though.

r higher level armies of levels more thn 1????

Yes I think some folks have had scout armies up in the 80s and even 90 levels.
To transfer more units into an army that high in level would usually be too costly unless it is later in the game and you have gold and resources to actually squander IMO.

TR

how does the lev. of the troop go up?????is it by the exp. they gain or wht????

As you use the troops to do battle especially efficiently they gain higher levels of I guess yes ... experience.

Take advantage of RPS (i.e. rock, paper, scissors) and also 100% BP attacks are more efficient also.

TR

wht advantage do we get frm "rps"????

Spearmen are rock that get wrapped by swordsmen which are paper but break scouts which are scissors that can cut swordsmen which are paper.
Pikemen and macemen are also rock
Squires and knights are also paper
Falks and heavy cavalry are also scissors

PS:
Of course the ranged and siege units are different

To be more clear:
rock beats scissors,
scissors beats paper
and paper beats rock
(i.e. significantly enough to make use of the system).

PS:
Also keep in mind that higher classes of troops generally do better against basic troops although level of troop and RPS are still significant.

That is for example even a small swordsman army in defensive mode will probably cause a medium sized macemen army to use enough of its BPs and MPs to stop it even though the swordsmen will probably be destroyed and I did say in defensive mode (i.e. to attack the same macemen with the same swordsmen would probably not have significantly favorable results).

as this tech says"Allows the deployment of troops from Barracks into higher level armies." tht means tht i can reinforce armies frm the barrack to the higher lev. armies which r in the battlefield, isnt it so????????

but tht does not happen??y??

Have you read my posts?
I suspect that I will have to repeat everything over again.
There is another "expert recruitment" tech that allows transfer of lower level troops to higher level troops on the battlefield.
The "advanced recruitment" tech will not allow that. It will only allow transfer of SAME level troops and possibly JUST level 1 troops in order to combine them on the battlefield.
It is accomplished by moving SAME level armies adjacent to each other and waiting until their BP percentages are both 100%. Then when you left-click one of these adjacent armies there is a transfer button on the right of the screen that should allow you to put them together.

PS:
***Admittedly I'm not sure yet if SAME level HIGHER level armies can be combined without "expert recruitment" but I do know that level ONE armies can be combined on the battlefield with JUST "ADVANCED RECRUITMENT" tech.
Any combining IN the barracks is done IN the barracks and IN THE BARRACKS troops from the barracks can be added directly to higher level armies AT AN ADDITIONAL COST which higher level armies have been MOVED INTO the barracks.

***You cannot cause troops to be added (i.e. teleported) from the barracks to armies on the battlefield.***

I know you didn't say that but for some reason I'm not sure if you are not thinking that troops are supposed to be able to go directly from the barracks to armies on the battlefield
and AGAIN I repeat that armies must be moved adjacent to each other on the battlefield in order to combine them.

***Hopefully in another 24 hours or so I will attempt to combine two small level 2 armies on the battlfield So I will be able to give a definite answer as to whether or not SAME level higher level armies can be combined on the battlefield with just "advanced recruitment" tech.***

***Also it is not my intention to offend or or ridicule So please don't feel offended because I know some of these concepts may be difficult to grasp, but I also don't know how else to explain these concepts and I do think I have covered this one adequately;
So please do read carefully and if there is something I have said that needs to be clarified, please specify and I will be happy to try to do so.***

I did this sooner than I thought I would
(i.e. I did combine two Level 2 armies on the battlefield with just "advanced recruitment");
So as long as the armies are the SAME LEVEL, they can be combined on the battlefield with just "advanced recruitment".

TR

i believe there are 2 corrections to be made to this, though i am often wrong:

It only takes both armies having 90% BP, not 100% BP to combine armies

You can combine 2 armies of AND level on the battle field, as long as they are the same level WITHOUT advanced recruitment. (ie. 2-level 1 armies, or 2-level 50 armies)

just to help clarify again:

Advanced recruitment allows you to move a non level 1 army into the barracks and reinforce it there.

expert recruitment allows advanced recruitment options + you can combine any armies of the same type on the battle feild regaurdless of level. (ie. a level 5 scout with a level 24 scout). make sure you check to see which army you are sending all of hte troops too! (its best to move all troops to the higher level army).

Well if armies can be combined with only 90% BPs instead of 100%, I'm inclined to think that either a change has been made of which I'm not aware or it is a bug and should be reported.
If same level armies can be combined on the battlefield without advanced recruitment, I admit I didn't know that and I stand corrected.

TR

It's always been 90% as far as I can remember.

It is 90%.

Indianraja, read my tutorials (links on the Home page) for some basic concepts you have missed. The RPS system is outlined there, but for speediness sake, if you attack a troop with a winning combo, like scissors vs paper, you get 140% of your regular attack power. Even troops, i.e. scissors vs scissors is 100% and wrong troop matchups, like paper vs scissors give you only 70% of your attack strength. Avoid that.

Now I can retire in peace in as much as I'm always about 50% inaccurate and so many of you know the right answers.
I hope they don't need interpretation though.
