Troops are built in the Barracks. They require idle Population and Resources in order to build.

For troop training tips see War tips.

Troops consume Food on an hourly basis. The "Food Upkeep" column in the table below shows how much food a single unit of that troop type requires every hour. Please understand that when you have a large number of troops in your city and not enough Farms to feed them, your hourly food income will be negative, and you will lose food from your stores.

Lots of people say that you need to cheat and use bots to be able to uphold large amounts of Might. This is wrong, however. You can manage a 30 million+ negative food per hour without using auto barbs. It isn't easy, but it is possible.

If you run out of food, your army will start to desert. You will lose approximately 10% of each of your troop types at a time until you can feed your troops again. How often this happens is not well understood. Whether you are online or offline, it appears to be 30-120 minutes between desertions. All desertions will be reported in your Messages section under Reports. Each report will tell you when the troops left, and how many went of each type.

If you are hosting allied troops in your Embassy, your city is responsible for feeding those troops. If you run out of food in this case, the allies will be called back to their parent cities. Allies' troops will not desert their owners in this case.

Training Speed for Troops

The speed of training is determined at the time you add troops to the queue and depends on a number of factors that will vary from player to player:

  • How many barracks in the city: training is split up among all of the available barracks. 2x level-1 barracks will train 100 supply troops in 1/2 the time that it takes a city with only 1 level-1 barracks.
  • The level of each barracks: each level above 1 increases the training speed by 10%.
  • Research level in Geometry increases the training speed of Siege Engines by 10% per level
  • Each level of the Stable increases the training speed of horsed units by 10%.
  • Each level of the Workshop increases the training speed of wagons and Siege Engines by 10% per level.
  • The Combat level of the Knight assigned to the role of Marshall increases the training speed of all troops.
  • The Stone Guardian - Each level of the Stone Guardian will give you a speed percentage up to 10% for a level 10 Stone Guardian. If you happen to have all 4 guardians unlocked, then the Stone Guardian's bonus will ALWAYS be active. If you happen to have all 4 guardians unlocked AND the Stone Guardian is Active, then the bonus will be multiplied by 1.5. (This is called the Set Bonus, 10% becomes 15%)
  • The Throne Room has a "Troop Training Speed" item.

Base Training Time Table

This table gives the base training time for each unit, which is the time they would require for training in a single, level-1 Barracks with no other modifiers. |-

Unit Time to Train
One Unit (secs)
Supply Troop 50
Militiaman 25
Scout 100
Pikeman 150
Swordsman 225
Archer 350
Cavalry 500
Heavy Cavalry 1500
Supply Wagon 1000
Ballista 3000
Battering Ram 4500
Catapult 6000


Cancelling Training

If you cancel a queued unit training assignment you get back 50% of the resources the unit had cost, as well as 50% of the population initially consumed in the queue.


Training Time Formulae

Barracks Speed Modifier

BT = Base Training Time, as found in the table above
NB = number of barracks in the city
TBL = sum of the levels of all the barracks in the city
BM = total speed modifier for barracks
BM = 0.9 * NB + 0.1 * TBL (or if you prefer, BM = NB + (TBL-NB) * 0.1 )

Speedup Factors

MCS = Combat Score of the Knight assigned to the role of Marshal in your city
MF = Marshal Speedup Factor
GF = Geometry Speedup Factor
SF = Stable Speedup Factor
WF = Workshop Speedup Factor
MF = MCS / 200
GF = Geometry Level / 10
SF = Stable Level / 10
WF = Workshop Level / 10

Bonuses

SGB = Stone Guardian Bonus (example: 15% = 0.15)
TRB = Throne Room Bonus (example: 194% = 1.94)

Training Times

Training time for Infantry Units (Supply Troop, Militiaman, Scout, Pikeman, Swordsman, and Archer)
Time = BT / ( BM * (((1 + MF + GF) * (1 + SGB)) * (1 + TRB)))
Training time for Cavalry Units (Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry)
Time = BT / ( BM * (((1 + MF + GF + SF) * (1 + SGB)) * (1 + TRB)))
Training time for Machine Units (Supply Wagon, Balista, Battering Ram, and Catapult)
Time = BT / ( BM * (((1 + MF + GF + SF + WF) * (1 + SGB)) * (1 + TRB)))
* Note that there appears to be a bug in the Geometry code, and that speedup currently applies to all types of troop training as seen above.

The Stable speedup applies to all non-infantry units: cavalry, wagons, and siege engines.

The Workshop provides an additional bonus to wagons and siege engines.
