Hiya!
Just started playing NTW multiplayer yesterday. I have found an ok build for Prussia with 14k (3star gen, 2 howitzers, 4 lancers, 2 jaegers, 3 fusiliers, 7 line inf, 1 dragoon).

So my questions are, what builds do other players use for 14k? Please post what you use.
Why do i see opponents with old guard units when i cant afford elites with my 14k, what am i missing?
Am i better off having 18 - 19 units and upgrading my arty and cav with the saved money than having 20 units?

Thanks so much, any answers are going to be really useful for me so a big thanks in advance!

Hiya James,

Not that anybody ever listens to me, but since you ask:

14k Prussian army

1 General - cheapest you can get, and keep him out of the fight.

3 Heavy Cavalry – bring the best you can get, as they must to win in a pinch, and that’s when you need them.

5 125 range Skirmishers - three for line front, two reserve.

8 Musketeers – grouped into two groups of four.

2 7lber Howitzers – don’t bother with any other type of cannon.

Upgrade the Gen and Howies once each.

18 or 19 units is ok


Protect your big guns with your reserve and cavalry as much as possible, and use your infantry three group line assembly ( Skirm and 2 Musk) to create multitude of variations of needed tactics. When ever possible draw your enemy into your big guns, only a few good hits can tilt the balance, and give you the winning advantage.

Good Luck and Have Fun!


P.S. Check the replay for funds-cheat by your opponents...

I usually play with Prussia, the best build in my experience is:

Without art:
- Cheap general
- 4 lancers (keep them away from other cav, use to flank or against light/skirmisers
- 5 prussian fusseliers
- 3 footguard
- 8th life regiment
- musketeers with the rest

Very capable in both defence and offence.
If you want to play with art then get the horse artillery since art is not Prussia's forté
