Limit troops in Strategus

[Keshian]

in eu , is .  So its 20 40 60 gold on the y axis.  Thats most likely how much gold per hour to maintain troops.  Holding it on a person it gets ridiculous pretty fast.

Ok thanks, that makes sense then (if it's per hour and the comma is a period in "empirical" measurements).

EU's a weird. They use . instead of , so that we don't know what we looking at.

What about a strategus reset??

Tbh I wouldn't have anything against that. Should've been wiped after they buttfucked the polish/russian community

Blame Excel. I'm used to using . for decimals due to programming, but Excel hates it

Anyway, the formulas are:

- Upkeep = ceil((pow(#troops,1.6)*0.035 - 56) / 24)
- Upkeep of garrisoned troops in fiefs = ceil((pow($troops, 1.02) * 1 - 100)/24)

The FAQ doesn't say the time period. Assumedly it's hour or if ticks happen faster than that, tick.

I also made Google Docs versions of that graph upon request since it's a ton more useful than a single picture (it may be more up to date if I had made an error on the image):

EDIT: And since that chart ends at 1k, here's a one for 0 to 15000 with 250 troop intervals:

It might make sense for the garrison upkeep to be a static fraction of normal upkeep, because the difference at high numbers is just ludicrous.

Let's just all play EU 3 and fight the battles like Strat, would be an awesome game.

thanks for this extended graph !

Looks like the garrison upkeep needs to be tweaked. I agree that defense is pretty easy in strat ( depending on the castle/fief of course and if it has any bugs). there should be some sort of attrition for attacking castle/fiefs, but fat chance of that happening.
