How Big is Your Army?

[RonPope]

I'm just curious to see the numbers of some of your military units count.

You can get this information by rolling your mouse over the settlers icon at the top of the screen. Says Working Settlers and Military Units.

What's a good size? 6000? 8000? 10,000?

Enough troops to kill all the bandits on the adventure map.

I'm currently at 5000. I have found it sufficient for even DB or SE, with all the smaller adventures causing no reason for worry of hitting the pop cap while training troops for them. I did the Valiant Little Tailor on test with 5700 pop and would say that 5000 is pretty low-bound for the Epic Raids. I'll probably strive to up my cap to 6000 on the live account before pursuing them. Time will tell if the Raids further down the quest line will require an even bigger army at one go. Note that if an adv has losses of eg 4000 recruits, I don't think it's necessary to have all 4000 trained the moment you start. But you should have at least 1000-1500 on one go, so it's possible to progress at a decent pace in the adventure. Kill off the 1000 during the evening, and by morning you'll have the 1000 replaced by new troops from the barracks. 2 or 3 troop resupplies isn't too tedious to do on huge adventures like the Raids.

Unless they let me buy more floating res I don't have space for more than 4k troops, but thats more than enough for me, so I guess a good size is as many as you need to do the job at hand

[lapta]

1600, that pretty much my max.

I'm going to use the new smilies:

::R:: - 361 ::B:: - 212 ::M:: - 233 ::C:: - 203 ::LB:: - 200 ::S:: - 63 ::A:: - 150

Yes, not great numbers I know, but it gave me a few minutes of amusement to post this. :D

Guess you level 50+ have to compare something...don't you? ;)

[Sumee]

With PVP along the pipeline, you expect me to reveal 'military secrets' in public? ;)

[Dorotheus]

Only people with small ones feel the need to brag

[Thejollyone]

oh Please. Lets lose the bragging rights before it starts...

[JiriTomiczek]

not much. But for me it's enough :)

Not bragging, it was just fun to highlight a rather undersized army with the new smilies, but it seems to be adequate for my current level and activity on adventures. My actual view on army size is: enough troops to kill all the bandits on the adventure map.

lol my main army changes depending what adventures i plan on doing as i make the full army for the few advs to order :)

[BAAAHHHHHJJJAAA]

I dunno how many nobles you have jollyfog2012 but you'll need about 140 to hit 10k, or WT's...it takes up a lot of space.


I bet i have one of the larger pops in settlers and my advice would be to say that it helps to do several DB's back to back and have things backed up like elites and xbows in case of emergencies, BUT in hind sight it makes more sense to be able to make a lot of bread that space could have been used better.

[MkaayZ]

1,6k army ( mostly Recruits :$ )

[nightm4n1965]

i just hope this is enough lol.

i dont have much room for more so 7k army will have to be enough.

[Zedoary]

Mine is 5100, so far. But I intend to maximize the numbers as much as I can.
