I have search on the forum and read the FAQ but i cannot find anything about it . So people usaually have troops around 49 it is because the upkeep? i check the FAQ, i said that troops will disappear if you dont have enough wages for them.
So how much per soldier cost per week? And the payment is it like in native? Where you pay your soldiers per week ?
i know the formula and the maths for the troop wages but i got a E in maths so i really need some help on calculation because i can't do maths..
help!

Payment is a per DAY thing. You have 49 soldiers because you pay 0 upkeep on them, but the moment you have 50, upkeep goes up to 1 gold.(this price stays constant until 61 or so soldiers).
If you know the forumla, it shouldn't be hard to just plug numbers in. In fact, you can barely call that math. It's more like elementary arithmetic.
ceil((pow($troops, 1.03) * 1.8 - 100)/24)
Formula is pretty simple. $troops is the amount of troops, raised the the 1.03 power. Multiplied by 1.8 subtract 100. That gives per day cost. Divide by the 24 indicated for the per hour cost. the ceil just means you round up to nearest whole number.

Cheers mate.

Don't forget that is the upkeep while in a fief. You pay 50% less upkeep in a fief.

Here you go. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvGQM5ubg2E7dDNRd1ZxWmZjX2FySkJDazJFOVBRdkE#gid=0
If the upkeep column reads #NUM that that means free upkeep. The ceiling function doesn't appear to like negative numbers.
