I think I've read somewhere, that the best option to get troops is to choose "Market", then NPC the res you get for completing it. You get more res for completing Market, so get more troops!
Have to be willing to use some Gold though... and don't hold me to it, someone else can check the maths
did the people who did the math check that the extra res you get is more than the extra cost of buying a market, granary and warehouse?
I'll check it now, nothing better to do tbh.
You gain 2180 resources from the MILITARY rewards (ignoring costs of building) and 1950 from ECONOMY
ECONOMY's buildings cost 1030
MILITARY buildings costs 1160 (+ 2 troops, for roman:880 gaul:630 teuton:500)
This gives a res gain of 920 for ECONOMY and for MILITARY roman: 140 gaul: 390 teuton: 520
HOWEVER:
If you go economy then you're going to have to also gather 1660-2040 resources (depending on tribe) in order to also make troops, even though you're going to eventually make a market etc with military, you can raid faster and build up 1030 resources for those.
Better thought process: whichever route you choose will have the same costs in the end, but military gives higher resource reward, so it's better for NPC.
And faster to get raiding troops, duh.
Yeah, well, I'm guessing the quest system will have most of the farms over-flowing with wheat and iron... so NPC'll, and therefore Market, will be pretty handy
6 Mace queued and 9.5hours to spare... BP on day1's a bit of a pain !
Like Muffin says, it makes little difference in the end I think!
I chose Economy, built the warehouse / granary and market.... got a heap or resources (mainly iron) which I NPC'd to build a RP and Barracks and 6 mace.
I'm NOT going to to the "Everything to Level 2" Quest... just plough all my resources into troops and live the Teutonic-Icrontic life ...
I think it'd make sense for people to start posting their usernames on this page so we can all locate one another.

Let me know if it was a mistake, and how bad of one
**** it. It makes little noticable difference.

... mace #7 in 20mins
I'm now selling wood/clay for wheat 1:2 on the market
EDIT: Haha! A buyer! Wish I'd done this before I trained all those mace!

You've done well for yourself since 11.13 am yesterday
