If you're facing a unit, build these — ranked by the trade, not raw damage.
Each pick reads STR · unit · dealt/taken · net,
where dealt is your damage attacking it and taken is its damage attacking you
(6 × StrAtt / StrDef, both sides' anti-trait modifiers, full HP, open terrain,
no promotions — the same numbers as Unit Damage).

Read it Row = which class is attacking. Column = the defender's trait. A "+50% vs Mounted" cell means Polearm units (Spearman etc.) get +50% strength when fighting any Mounted-trait unit. Green = advantage, red = penalty.
