First of all you must read the beginners guides they will help you enormously in playing well the game.

Your troops eat food and therefore that is deducted from your produced thus giving you then a surplus or a lack of the food resources. More troops more comsumption of food. THis is displayed in negative terms. If you Have more troops than food produced you have a negative production displayed.

Read the ULTIMATE GUIDE several times and many others.

Take care Drakko

Once you get your army built up, you will always be in the negatives, it's completely normal. Just work on your ballistae and transporters so you can farm NPC 5's to feed your hungry troops!

If your troops run out of food, they will refuge (starve) and you will lose a certain percent of them. You refuge every hour I believe, so have someone send you food so you can get farmers out

yeah they went into refuge because they had no food to eat. you need to make sure before you log off, that there is enough food in your supplies for them to make it through.

though actually the number of ballis for 1s and 2s is significantly less than 3s,4s, and 5s. so if you don't have many ballis and trans yet farm those

certainly you can't be implying level 10's are the way to go to feed troops? Even if you loose only 3k archers per level 10 with a massive hero.. you still need 900k food 1.4 million lumber and 900k iron to train those archers back. Off one level ten you have now gained 5.1 million food sure.. but you have lost 1.398 million lumber and 720k iron.. the resource gain off 10's are nothing to brag about, only the hero experience and prestige are.. level 5's do feed your troops.

wow lol i just realised that now..

i only lose 4-6mil in resources giving me a gain 15.3mil gain....
(those are all resources combined)

anyway if you only hit lev 5's you must not have a big army....

Farm 5 L10's = ~96 mil in food
Farm 19 L5's = 95 mil in food.

If you have lumber/iron cities, then the cost for archers/scouts/warr, etc. is meaningless. The idea of farming 5 npcs vs. 19 npcs is worth the troop loss, if you have the resources to replace.
