    Troop levels are just one aspect of the larger concern of game balance. To compensate for the very high levels of troops, players on defense are able to hold off large numbers of attackers, especially with the help of their alliance. This, of course, encourages teamplay for attacks as well.

    Changing just one element would drastically alter the balance of the game. Removing troop upkeep (or increasing food production, which would amount to exactly the same thing) would allow for even more troops. Placing a hard limit on them would leave you in much the same position you're in now, but perhaps with less to do.

    All that said, Age 2 is going to introduce a wide array of new activities and features for players, so we'll certainly be adjusting many aspects of game balance in the future.

    All games have some type of "grind" or "treadmill" because players need things to do. What fun would it be to get 10 cities with 100k archers (or whatever) in each and then have nothing to do? We'll be doing plenty of new things to keep you busy in the future. For now, the status quo is probably best.
    "While more passive players have less", most of your players are adults they have work, children, and obligations to take care of. If you can not meet our lifestyle, why bother advertising to us “adults at the office”. Your passive players can't sit in front of a computer 24/7 to play NPC farming.

    For several weeks I thought this game was just the best game ever created by mankind, but now my troops are dying as refuges, my NPCs that I created are being farm by other players, and I have to wait for another 8 hours to get nearby NPCs ready for farming again. Your active players might have time to play 24/7, but I can guarantee you sir that most of your players don't.

    And, enough with Age 2, Evony customer service sucks. I report a person to you guys 3 weeks ago, and still no answer. My sister quit this game several weeks ago, she only check the forum these days, and all you have to say is wait for age 2. I think not!

    Don't hate me because I'm beautiful; hate me because... Well, okay. Hate me because I'm beautiful.
