Thread: So what is considered a Large Army ?

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Default So what is considered a Large Army ?

    Perhaps this? People say large but never really say what large is...

    I have abit over 200K more sword and archers and probably 25K more ballistas and such spread out in other cities.

    But what do Devs or people call large? or consider normal?

    Large in my opinion is an army that eats more then 3 million food an hour that is way to much but then again if you can sustain them you can have them.

    The elite 100k attack army. (Don't knock it till you fully tech it out and try it)

    50K ballista, 20k battering ram, 30k cataphract. Total food upkeep per hour = 5.55 million food per hour. Not a very large army (100k attack limit) but far beyond wallac3's 3 mill. In fact 3 mill will only feed 12k catapults which is crap. Guess we are just supposed to use archers and rainbow.

    Well, the largest army one can field is a ppf of 1.34m archers to 240k ballista. without going into the red. as such, I'd guess anything over this amount is to big.

    That's only 134k archers and 24k ballista per city. You need to up your food income.

    well, it's either or actually. ppf production possibilities frontier.
    Meaning, you can field either 24k ballista per city, or 134k archers per city, or 12k ballista/67.2k archers or any other combination of the two.
    Or any other combination of units below 12.5m food per hr I suppose.

    I would answer the topic question with this:

    It's dependant on your alliance, your allies, your enemies and the sizes of their armies. If you're in a smaller alliance having a smaller war but the guy with the largest army. Then that is a large army, definitely.

    If you're asking out of the whole server average, I'd say 200-300k archers OR 100k cataphracts is a large army.

    If you're asking out of the whole server top players.. I'd say 200-500k ballistas, 1-2 mil archers, 100k of everything else except pults.. maybe 10-20k pults. Would be in my opinion from the people I know and players I've conversed / compared with; a large army.

    Hope this helps.
