War predictions

Geofrey, I would consider +150-200% to be pretty standard for any big city in a tournament or war.

You dont need perma sat support to run decent recruitment sov.  Or rather, if you do then you are doing something drastically wrong.... and I am not talking about a piddly 200% rate.

I'd love to find out how 200% troop sov is piddly and easily achievable & realistic over a long period. Only way I see it being possible is for cannon fodder troops like t1 orc spearmen. What fun is there in perma building cannon fodder?

A resourse with 5 L20 plots and a L20 res booster will get you 17,776 p/h at 20% tax.

20 L3 troop sovs require 12,000 p/h upkeep.

You won't be able to support a big military with low taxes and no troop lodgings, unless you go massively negative in gold p/h.

You can't supply your troops with supplies at 300% production, so you'll need to sell off everything else you gather or produce for gold for supplies.

Gathering a large amount of supplies during times of peace and then losing them all to supply the war machine is not what i'd consider to be piddly, easily achieveable and realistic.

with due respect to the memory of the rl event described, it should be noted that the same chivalry was and is being displayed in illyriad. at last check, the two opposing sides were, in fact, playing a game against one another.
