The numbers behind maintaining large armies
One of the top questions I get is how do you feed so many troops
So here's how it works..
You load balance feeding across your cities. Park them touching or very close together for fast dispatching
EA: city with 15crops and no oasis has 5,120 crop production
Every level of plant tech increases that by 10% so lvl 10 is 10,240 crop
Now enhance is another 50% on top of that now your 15,360
That's per city with no oasis and no extra feeding at all
Your warehouse carries 449300 crops
If you have -44,000 crops you now have 10hrs of food
That's roughly 6,000 cats per city if you choose to feed every 10 hours
So say at level 16 you can have 6 cities now I can support 36,000 cats with a 10hr window
Wait we still have oasis
Ea lvl 9 oasis adds 3,700 + 100% crop tech and 50% enhanced = 11100
So now you can add another 1110 cats per oasis without adding any more feeding time
At lvl 16 I can have 8 oasis so that's another 8880 cats
So now with these numbers and the max feeding Im willing to do I can hold an all cat army of 44880 cats
______________________________________________________________
Now level 20 cities feed twice as much. So let's redo the math
Lvl 20 crop = 2695*4=10,780
+100% planting
----------
21,560
21,560+50% enhanced = 32,340 crops
That's roughly 7800 cats per city if you choose to feed every 10 hours
so with 6 cities thats 7800*6 = 46800
At lvl 16 I can have 8 oasis so that's another 8880 cats
So now with these numbers and the max feeding Im willing to do I can hold an all cat army of 55680 cats
--------------------------------------------------------------
basically level 15 crops =448800 crop
level 20 crops = 556800 crop
this means that depending on your army type you can divvy up the crop among the units you wish to have.
