Introduction

You will hear/read many varying accounts on how much defense you should build. This is a guide for new players who wish to learn more of the games mechanics but don't have a teacher handy. This guide covers both DPA and D/NW.

Defense Points divided by Acres = DPA

Defense points divided by Networth Total = D/NW

Here is a guideline for suggested DPA (Defense per Acre):

Coming oop (Out of Protection)in the beginning of the age, 35 DPA or more is good for an attacker role.

Coming oop in the beginning of the age, 50 DPA or more is good for a thief or mage role.

Partway through the age, 50 DPA or more is good for an attacker role. Partway through the age, 70 DPA or more is good for a thief or mage role.

Near the end of the age, 60 DPA or more is good for an attacker role. Near the end of the age, 90 DPA or more is good for a thief or mage role.

Here is a guideline for suggested D/NW (Defense per Networth):

Anything <0.3 D/NW would be a suicider strat

>0.3 but <0.35 D/NW is low/average.

>0.35 but <0.40 D/NW is fairly high.

>0.4 but <0.45 D/NW is rather strong defense (turtling) that most thieves and mages would use (as well as attackers who aren't committed to attacking).

0.45 or more D/NW is usually only seen in a bank and kd mates do all your retals.
