The only reasonable way to deal with the issue of feeding troops is to cap the number of troops per city. However this would cause many players to leave.
For all of the suggestions about how to fix the problem of cheaters, there is none that will ever work.
If they took the Largest army size possible right now, Give or take 10% set that as the cap and gave you a method to support them with a minimium amount of farming, there "shouldn't" be any complaints. You know there will be, but there shouldn't be because if they did that they would basicly be saying, look you can have these large armies you have right now, we made it possible but we are not letting them get any bigger then they already are.
