I don't recall ever using the vallorian guards in battle with much success, also do they ever get more than one star? I am beginning to wonder if this building very useful at all and would love to hear your voices on this...

By the same token, SoggyShorts is also playing a different game than we are Most people won't find space to build that many VV/GoToS as Soggy, especially when still doing guest races and not having as many space-saving event buildings. So for most people generated troops are not material in the grand scheme of things. If you fight manually, and find that a small number of specops troops can make a difference - go for it. Otherwise, I find that they're not worth the bother if you only have 1-2 buildings.Keep in mind that with having all max level wonders LazyTony is playing a different game than we are.
I find vallorian valor to be immensely useful, same goes for the Grounds of the orc strategist.
If your barracks/TG/merc are at max level then there is nothing you can do to train more troops each week...except these buildings and wonders.
I have enough VV and GoToS that I never have to train Heavy Melee or Heavy Ranged and that takes care of 4 of 9 tournament weeks allowing me to train more troops for the other 5 weeks.
I'm still playing the same game but with a slightly different strategy than others. The key is that my results are completely replicable. That's not the same thing as having max level wonders which is technically impossible without tens of thousands of dollars or cheating.By the same token, SoggyShorts is also playing a different game than we are
Nonsense. If I did that I would have to train my own heavy melee and have way too many heavy ranged. A totally unbalanced approach and inherently inferior.Soggy would be much better off replacing his VV buildings with strategist buildings
You can't actually be saying that having wonders which increase troop production in your barracks/merc/TG by almost 100% doesn't affect how useful other buildings are in comparrison. I suspect if we were discussing how to make a cup of tea Soggy would stalk the forum of a server he doesn't play on to mention how tea making is improved by wonder levels.
This is a fair point, but if you do have extra space then a handful of VV and Gotos is still better than nothingnd as the OP mentioned one star VV, my advice would be to wait until he\she gets the 2 star upgrade and then tries them again, and I suspect with a lot more success.
toads wonder applies the same bonus to golems, VV and strategists
https://www.elvenarchitect.com/city/planner/290507757f324879acd6fdf62bfed90d/comparing a player with level 0 wonders with a player with max level wonders, one an honest mistake, one a disingenuous exaggeration.
Each of those wonders increases the number of troops you produce which make the VV less valuable.None of those wonders make vallorian valour any more or less likely to win a fight. You really need to stop obsessing.
Understood. I prefer to think of the troop types I have to counter enemy troop types, rather than how many troops I have of each category. For example, frogs and orc warriors are substitutes for each other (counter troops for light melee), Rangers and cerberus are substitutes (counter troops for mages), etc.
I might be a little too anal about always having the very best troop type available for each fight and not "making do" with a second best alternative. If I find myself using a second best alternative its because I haven't trained the correct proportions or maybe just because I am going too hard and need to save my resources for future tourneys.
