Resources should be fairly inconsequential at this stage in the game, and especially in the low numbers reported here. Time is a bigger factor, but he doesn't have to build anything except the wall forts in sequence. 238k archers x 2.34 is the time equivalent of 556k Pikes.

Also, part of the point of the honor system is to measure exactly who is winning the resource battle, since the equation for who gains/loses honor is based on the resource value of the units sent.
