Troops

Troops are the backbone of combat. They are recruited in the Barracks from a city's idle population.

Basic stats for troop

Training time is affected by Military Science Research and Hero's Attack Skill. Training Time in Age I is BaseTime*(0.9^MS)*(0.995^Atk). Age II introduced a small (but significant) change to BaseTime*(0.9^MS)*(0.9986^Atk)

Notes

• If a city's Idle Population is below 0, no troops can be recruited
• If a city's Idle Population is below 0, change production to 0%, use population raising (or any other comforting), train troops, then bring Production back up to 100%.
