1 mil mice takes 5k orchards?

[Zephyrus]

Is it just me or are troops eating a lot more than they did before?

[The Beatles]

20/5. Twice as much as just before.

[Ruddertail]

Are you crazy, Beatles? With guards as powerful as they are on BFR, it'll be impossible to break anybody.

On WOA, with the 500 point guards, it's not that bad. But it'll make turtling way too easy on BFR, it's already way too easy...

[The Beatles]

Don't complain, it's just the same as it was before your changes came into effect. Same as on WOA, in fact.

Guards have been decreased too.

[Ruddertail]

Eh, what? You dropped food consumption by troops? I never mentioned that...

Guards are 1k, now?

[The Beatles]

No, that was an independent change.

Actually, guards are 600 on WOA, 1000 on BFR.

[Zephyrus]

Last I played, mice never ate so much.

My complaint is this. The top guy has 60k land. Assuming he is using the same thing all the RWL emps did (half guard half hut, approx), that's 30k guards. 30k guards = 30 mil def points. Assume he has 20 mil mice. 20 mil mice = 40 mil defense. Total: 70 mil defense. Or, to break, we need approx 35 mil mice. Which in this land starved game isn't easy.

EDIT: And keeping that in positive food? More land than we will have this round, mostly guarenteed.

[Ruddertail]

It's all in the market storing, my dear Zephyrus. I have, or will, by the middle of my next run, sufficient market troops to break, if your calculations are correct.

[Clasher]

Ruddertail is absolutely right. It is possible, but it is still annoying that there isn't more land flying around. Maby they should increase the amount of land gained from scouting and bring back down the amounts of materials and bonuses gained from them.
