    lol, i've actually gotten the mech battalion on server 6, but since i've played on other servers before and understand the food cost something like that would get, i've chosen to wait to open it until after i can build cataphracts....not to mention by waiting and then using it i'll still get the quests completions even though i didn't actually build them

    Default Won one

    OK, so I won the mechanical battalion on the wheel, haven't opened it yet due to the fact I realize that the food strain is so much, I have been upgrading for days, and with my regular army in place in the city, I am at 96,ooo/hour. My question is when do I need to stop, if anyone can point me in the right direction, your help would be much appreciated. I know if I hit 350 catapults it will be 87,500/hour just for those, but was wondering what everyones opinion might be. Thanks

    My understanding is that

    Catapults = 250 food, each, per hour.
    Battering Rams = 100 food, each, per hour.
    Ballistas = 50 food each, per hour.

    So in the case above we get:

    250 x 251 = 62,750
    242 x 100 = 24,200
    351 x 50 = 17,750

    = 104,700.

    The maximum you can get from the Battalion is 350 Catapults, 250 Rams, 400 Ballistas. In that rare case it would be 87,500 + 25,000 + 20,000 = 132,000 food per hour.

    I won one of these today, but did not open it due to the food consumption. I probably could support it if I moved my troops around and what not, but that is the beauty of this thing. You can hold it until you really need it. Why open it and then just sit on these items? I plan to hold it until I am sending a large attack and then open it and send the troops, so I won't have to feed them.

    You'll still have to feed them, and it's expensive to do that too. It's the same amount of food, but instead of per hour, it's per mile or something outrageous like that. So you'd better have a couple million food banked for when you do want to use it, to carry on the journey. You'll also need lots of transporters just to carry the food they need also.

    Not an issue!

    Mech Battalion cap spawn has 123,500K upkeep an hr. I believe.
    I think it is 400 Balli, 250 Ram, 350 Cat possible.

    So it's a superior weapon but unless you have alot of time to dedicate to banking upkeep, it will become a nexus point and will only drag you down. On a new server, once your farms are up, it's a rolling death machine.
