    Default suppression troops wont fight?

    i had my suppression setting at 100% and my troops would not fight specifically the warriors would not fight i had 42 million warriors they would not fight i then put my suppression setting at 0 for everything except the warriors and the warriors would not fight
    is their a cap on defending troops during a suppression? in the past i have had in excess 20 million warrior defending i lowered the warrior numbers to 33 million and they still would not fight

    i wanted to add that I lowered the total number of warrirors to less than 40 million and they still will not fight. i changed the supression to just warriors and they would not fight

    so 20 million warriors is the most you can use in a suppression battle?

    edit : surely this can't be what is intended? would evony of put a cap on the amount of troops you can use in a battle?

    no i have not experimented in any battle other than a back door where someone else attacks a city you have colonized. and for up rise but the days of putting 50million warriors in a city putting only warriors on suppression and saying come i dare you to back door me are gone this is a relativity new change in the last 2-3 months if you recall i had a battle report a few months ago with 25m million warriors in a back door battle.

    any way this is a change that effects older servers where peoples troop counts gets very large on na 13 we have one player with 220m (LC host of MAss) warriors so he cannot divide his warriors up. to defend his colonies he has to fool with his suppression settings as their are 12 servers older than na 13 so i imagine that it is a bigger issue

    You already KNOW what imma say about this....
    It ain't enough.
    We want a competitive battle field. Not some place where a player with a 15 star set can own everyone with 200 million warriors all day long.
    Hard cap on troops need to be put in place.
    But as for your question, I can't answer it. But I have seen instances where certain troop types won't fight in uprise/supression battles.

    well this looks like a compromise baking in the cake. applying it to suppression battles but not city battles and attacking.

    But JP i have to my troop numbers have little to do with my star set any one can build troops any one can have a city set up of 20-26 barracks times 10 cities and pump out troops like crazy even if they only have 10-11 star set and average attack of 500 having 809 attack 1020 with excal attack helps to be sure but the core of trope build up is
    1 have 20-26 barracks per city
    2 have HC's so u get 720k free warriors a day even if you only have 12's
    3 high attacks helps but that is not what builds troops barracks do drafts do nothing else.

    with that set up i make 750k archers a day if archers is all i build and i get close to 1million warriors cause i have 14's 16's etc, but even if i had an 11 or 10 set i would still make like 400k archers a day and with all 12s i would make 720 warriors a day any one can get to big big troop numbers. any one can get an 11 set and any one can get 12's. Frankly i think a troop cap helps the big guys in the long run because with limited troops with 1020 attack is better than 450 or 500 attack with limited troops and the big advantage of non coiners or light coiners is their are like 50 of them for every coiner. so they will have more troops as team than coiners will as a team because they will ahve like 500 cities to my 10.

    Well, I don't think a troop cap would help big players over small players or vice-versa. All it would do is scale down the armies. In the end it would promote more competition because it would reduce time. For example, how long would it take a player or players to clear 500 million troops in a enemy city? A very very very long time. Maybe weeks or even months. But if there was a cap then the troops could be cleared within a reasonable amount of time. Basically, all a cap would do is scale down the battle durations so that they did not require an unreasonable amount of time and effort to kill off enemy troops.
    Unlimited troops is just a complete bonehead idea and Evony will change it simply because they have to in order to keep the environment competitive. Competition is one of the main reaons players play this game. Unlimited troops = no competition.
    Let me just draft 1 million warriors per day for 364 days and build 700k archers/day for 365 days.
    1 year later I got:
    255 MILLION archers
    365 MILLION warriors.
    No alliance could ever clear that amount of troops from a city.

    If Evony capped it at 100k of each troop type per city then we would have some seriously fun battles on a very frequent basis. No more, building up for 6 months just to do a 1hr attack.

    But I am thinking that Evony does not want a competitive environment. They want to keep things like a carrot hung in front of a horse. Players chase the carrot but can never get it. So if that is eveony's goal, great, unlimited troops are perfect.

    Imo if they capped troops on each city, would actually make this fun, Not just hide troops every way possible till they want to try
