Feeding Troops

The troop eat a lot in this game and the only way to feed them is to "farm" NPC 5's. To do this you need to have the right Archery/Horseback Riding(HBR) ratio to accomplish farming with zero losses. The correct ratios are as follows: Archery level 8 HBR needs to be level 5 or 6, with Archery level 9 HBR needs to be level 2,3,8, or 9, with Archery 10 HBR can be any level. all these have been tested to give no losses. Once you have the correct ratio you will want to sent 550 ballistas and 500-550 transporters to attack level 5 NPC's near you. the higher you logistics the lower number of transporters you need to send. The goal load vacancy is 3,990,000. NPC level 5 hold 3 million food 180,000 of lumber stone and iron and 450,000 gold. so send out as many as you can and you will be able to feed you troops with little effort. NPCs replenish the food every 8 or so hours so it is possible to attack them 3-4 times a day.
