TROOPS

KNOW YOU TROOPS
It is very important to carefully analize your troops.
I'll demonstrate some very simple calculations using Gauls as an example.

Gauls have 3 types of offensive units:
( off pts*infantry def pts/cavalry def pts-wheat consumption)
Swordsman ... 65*35/20-1
TT..................90*25/40-2
Heduan ...... 140*50/165-3
-------------------------
If your village has wheat fields lvl 10 and hourly wheat production 1000, if you choose to make only 1 type of off units, in regards to wheat consumption of specific unit type, that village can support:

1000 Swords ... 65000*35000/20000 or
500 TT's .......... 45000*12500/20000 or
333 Heds ......... 46620*16650/54945

In a full developed village, resources you put in building troops are not so relevant; you are more interested to make the most effective military power.
TT's appear to be the weakest choice, and Heds have 1/3 weaker off power, but almost 3 times stronger cavalry defense.
Heduans are universal units.

Gauls have 3 types of defensive units as well:
Phalanx ... 15*40/50-1
Druid ..... 45*115/55-2
Heduan .... 140*50/165-3
------------------------
1000 Phalx ... 15000*40000/50000 or
500 Druids ... 22500*57500/27500 or
333 Heds ..... 46620*16650/54945

With phalanxes and heduans you are getting aprox the same cavalary defense while druids provide almost 1/3 better infantry defense than phalanxes.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ANALYSIS IS SEARCHING FOR OPTIMAL COMBINATION AS A SOLUTION FOR MAXIMIZING YOUR VILLAGE'S OFF/DEF ABILITY.

For example, you could hold in that village 500 phalanxes and 250 druids which would give you:
48750 infantry defense points
38750 cavalry defense points
