    Age 2 players can have much larger armies since there is no refuge. They can starve their army and not have to farm so much food and not lose any troops to refuge. They can just buy food on the market when they plan to send a march.

    I'm just saying that dedicated Age 2 player CAN have an army that numbers in the billions. I don't know if anyone has actually done it. I would think the largest army in Evony right now belongs to an Age 1 player. But, there is much greater potential for a truly MASSIVE army in Age 2.

    It's not a glitch. That is Age 2 "working as intended."

    I agree with Rota
    You are capable of having a much larger army in age 2 but you can't build troops as fast there. Also an age 1 player can just hoard up billions of resources or get his entire alliance to supply him for a week or so and then just insta out a tonne of archers. An age 2 player can have a very large average army but I am guessing a age 1 could insta out a lot that they would lose in battles fast.

    I have found that in Age 2 I keep a much larger standing army. The difference in Age II is that you can't amp up production before a war, due to the hero constraints.


    SO to answer the OP

    Age I = Larger war time armies and/or war city armies
    Age II = Larger standing armies

    ^what? that make no sense LOL, what does food matter in AgeII expect for marching and building troops? lol AgeII can keep large armies without having to worry about food. Like Rota said, AgeI might have the biggest armies, but AgeII have a HUGE potential to make bigger armies in time.

    I guess suspending me for a day changed me...NOT

    Ardee, you will be missed.

    In age2 you can click 10 Hungry no more buffs each day for -50% upkeep off of facebook and then use a vesta's to take care of the other 50% upkeep for zero upkeep.

    The real problem is troop training times. With 846 attack the best hero on our server can only make 37 sec archers. So it takes a long time to build up the armies in between battles.

    On the older Age2 servers you can choose to keep your gates close and reinf your troops into other cities and never be drafted or lose any. So theoretically you could build non-stop for months and never lose a single one.

    An average Age2 player with a 500 attack hero (excal'd) could make around 280k archers a day with 10 cities, or 8.6 mil in a month. Way slower than Age 1 but you could also "choose" to never lose any.
