Army Counter Planner
Tell us the army coming at you and the civilization you're playing — we'll work out exactly what to build to beat it: hard counters from the game's attack bonuses, the soft counters the numbers don't capture, and what to avoid because it walks into a counter of its own.
Pick a civ to filter answers to what you can actually build.
