i know on age 2 you need a lot of troops. how many do i need for age 1?
more than your opponent.
Or have more troops than anyone
everyone is you opponent
It all depends on how far along in the game you are and what kind of player you want to be. A good amount of troops to have would be (below)
Warrior-50k (100k)
Work-50k (100k)
Scout-1mil (2mil)
Pike-10k (25k)
Sword-10k (25k)
Arch-250k (500k)
Cav-25k (100k)
Phrat-5k (25k)
Trans-100K (125k)
Balls-20k (35k)
Ram-5k (5k)
Pult-10k (15k)
This should be around a 12mil tic. All of my cities are at a 30mil tic troop # are in ()
To maintain an army as such you would need a min of instant warr hero prefferably insta scout.
If your at insta warr 12rac/12cott is optimal. Insta scout 10rack/14cott is optimal.
Also to feed larger armies you will need a min of 2 prefferably 4 200+att heros so you can farm 10s quickly.
That number you're thinking.... treble it
It's not really about how many troops you "have" in Age I ... it's about how quickly you can produce more. The most important thing in Age I is to achieve an instant hero and get your resources/population sorted out so that you can constantly make more troops.
That being said, a decent Age I war city will involve millions of troops, with emphasis on scouts, mechs, archers, transporters and in some cases ponies. Ideally, you will have most of those things instant, though, so that you can make more as you go along.
As he said. Main objective in age 1 is to have a strong hero. Since instant troops are possible even if someone gets whiped, the ability to quickly build them back is a must. Instant archer is the main goal. After that having a city heavy on archers scouts and mech will do great. But again if you cant maintain it a big army can hurt you.
feeding it is the main problem
ideally haveing 10 lvl 10s with insta mechs is awsome you dont have to farm npcs just others for there lum and iron and haveuing a billion in each city is a must because some one scouts you city move your insta hero around building just the troops to defend and and then the troops to take his city thats 500k archers from 10lvl 10s instintly 100k ideal pop/2=50k archers each then 50k/10=500k
your attacker will be in for a surprise
Me i was kinda of anoob and onlt had
500k Cavs/Cats
100k Warrior
700k Archers
1mil scouts
I liek Fast attacks
lol i only keep like 500 workers. for city building. unless they have some other unknown use?
Well it sounds like your just starting off, still only farming 5s. There are soome Age1 guides you should probably read then under the guide section. Even if your small you should keep min of 5k of all work warr pike and sword for layers. Later you will need work and warrior as rainbow layers for farming 10's. Read a couple guides they will help eminsly!
yeah right.
p.s. best avi ever!
its depends on what type of player u are. Attack or Defence
It's not the main problem. Preparation is the key. Build food stock BEFORE you start building your war city and you will have no problems at all.
Exactly. With proper preparation, you can do a massive que-behind which enables all your mechs to pop out of the oven at once. Simply use your politics hero to que a lot of something that will take the number of hours you need to get ready for war (and build up your food) and then que instant troops in lots right behind it.
mech, few mech killers hammer. Thats a small city. I like to keep like 500k archers 100k warriors 10k swords and 10k pikes 1-2mil scouts 50k ballis 10k pults 30k rams. Not as easy to feed but if someones war city pops up next to you gives you enough time to move more troops over and allows you to move troops around and adjust to what your opponent is sending. Dont like heavy layers unless the city is in cd then i use 300k archers 500k swords 500k warriors a few horses and phracts and still 50k ballis and 10k pults in case i need to add range and switch defenses
Lot of troops on age II? you have no clue ageI players are experienced and have been on servers so much longer we have had a lot of time to build so get workin mate bcz you need more than ageII
Age 1??? Get as much as you can handle.
yea but on age ll everyone has like -10bil food production. cause you dont need to necessarily feed your troops 24/7 so you can have lots more troops.
i used to keep 50k workers,warriors pike and sword in ea city 800k arch 3mil scout 100k ea phract,cav, balls, ram and pults then i would move troops as needed for warring.
oh yes i do. im very nooby.
Age II has 4x less upkeep, as well as a lack of refuge, meaning its not necessary to keep large reserves of food to maintain an army. Age I has much quicker build times, meaning alot more troops can be built in a short amount of time. This alone separates the ages in their style of play.
Age II has a longer, more drawn out style of waging war. There are longer rebuild periods, but also the ability to maintain more troops due to having less of a restrictor (and if you're a coiner, no restrictor) on building these troops, other than the time it'd take.
Age I has a shorter, but more frequent style of war. The shorter build times are countered by the obligation to actually feed those troops, so maintaining large amounts of troops can be tough for the average player, but in short bursts, a very large amount of troops can be built and used.
All this being said, it all falls to the individual player on what they want, and can handle. The same players that dominate Age I due to their knowledge can also dominate Age II, and vice versa. A good player isn't determined by which Age they play in evony, but how diligent they are in the game, taking the time to learn mechanics, and understand the flow of the game.
yea i know. its my lets test it out server.
im same server name therer Ryuuk and im guessing your name there is Thalric?
yep.
(ten caracters)
um like 450k archers per city to be an average joe, +100k rainbows and 100k balis
1mil archers 500k balis+ 250k rainbow to be pretty decent,
30mil archers to be of the "warrior class" oh and probably 1-2mil balistas 3-4mil rainbows, +3-4mil cav/phracts.........and thats not your war city -_-
thats Age1 for ya

Numbers that have been tested for a compact defense if these are of any value to your question
for me there are no general required troop amounts, just get as many rax into your cities as you can and keep them pumping 24/7 queueing with your best hero(s) to have a good production, if youre looking for troop counts required for defence per typical city, there are many guides on the forums that cover this if you take the time to search for them
age1 troop -#1) 100 million scouts
#2) 3 million pults and ballistae
#3) 1.25 million transporters
thats roughly 60 billion in each resource an an upkeep that cant be fed following TOS, goodluck (these are minimum)
