Nice, you dropped 6mil honor on him. Usually people try to drop honor before sending mech waves in my experience. As well mech waves don't do much if there isn't 5k range setters.
Decent sized army. Definitely not the biggest you will encounter with out without free food people have armies much larger than that. He just probably ported a "War city" in which contains probably 75-80% of his troops.
Has nothing to do with free food people run around with those when there is food just not all in 1 city or with a vesta applied.
dang thats a big army lol
seems just like sour grapes to me. Free food upkeep is the same for attackers as well as defenders so it is an even field there. Troops are made to die for the cause. If that is too big a target for you, maybe look for something more in your league :-)
looking at the report I notice many things, but since I have a policy of not going into advanced mech stuff on the forums for obvious reasons, I will just point out the MASSIVE hero advantage for the defense. You can always use some clever thinking. You can still chew up a lot of thos troops if you think clever. I said earlier on another thread there is not a perfect defense for every single type of attack at the same time. Granted you will have to spend many troops on it. What you need to consider here is, are you looking for a resource gain from the attack or are you out to destroy the enemy in a war game whatever the cost. Personally, I am for the latter of those 2 and I know exactly how I would get into the archers. For me it is a game and it doesn't matter how much troops I use so long as I make an impact and believe me, if I wanted to get through that lot, I would, either on my own or more likely I would invite another hitter next door. I have not covered everything in this post, but as I explained I don't go too deep into mech talk here.
I am thinking also that he was online and knew how to stop that anyway.

Free food upkeep is heaven for attacking to anyone that understands the logistics of this game.

It's a big army but that is only to be expected under the circumstances.
If you had the same time to build up then you should have built scouts and cataphracts for that particular situation plus some archers as a contingency. In 21 days you could have built a lot of disposable troops if you planned to go on the attack near the end of that time. Looking at the report, the guy you attacked was just better prepared than you were.
You should check out this guide. It's old but still relevant.

The more interesting thing is what is going to happen at the end when a lot of people will have to start paying upkeep.
That will be when the people not already accustomed to feeding large armies with a working system for their farming get the shock of their lives and have to cut their cloth accordingly.
I admit it will make my life easier when they can't put all their troops in the city I have moved in next to, but I maintain it isn't necessary to win the battle as cheaply as possible, it is only necessary to win it.
