Just trying to get a better feel for how to go about adding troop totals to my over all totals.
My Alliance has a mandatory minimum. When approaching this in my main and my OPs I've run into the problems of not having enough resources. I have upgraded my castles, my sentry posts on walls, increased farms, added decorations, and even removed houses from one OP all together in an attempt to reduce the usage of available food from my non army Population. Ive become a little frustrated and any help that you could give to boost my production would be appreciated.
P.S. I also bought Grain Mill in all locations. It helped some but not enouh to meet my alliances req's.

ok i have looked at ur castle and what i c is... too many farmhouses! keep four or five of them and fill the new space with parks or the highest po building u want to buy... get a TON of them. check out my main castle if u want a picture of how many u want... with 219% po and a mere 5 farmhouses, i can get a good 1,081.5 per hour
hope that helps,

What kind of outpost you have. For food outpost with 12 farmhouse, non population with mill ( and high PO of course ) can boost you up to 4000 food per hour

I get 1568.4 food with I think 13 farmhouses and 218% PO and 16% crop rotation bonus.NameNobleman1 wrote: »ok i have looked at ur castle and what i c is... too many farmhouses! keep four or five of them and fill the new space with parks or the highest po building u want to buy... get a TON of them. check out my main castle if u want a picture of how many u want... with 219% po and a mere 5 farmhouses, i can get a good 1,081.5 per hour

The trick is to find where a park produces less food than 2 of your farmhouses. I learned that a few weeks ago and due to it, I made 2 more farmhouses in ice and am getting a food increase by like 150-200 food. My leader did a test and he said one park was only increasing food by 30, so he got a few more farmhouses.

Isn't having 16 farmhouses the best balance of PO and food production? I believe this is when you knock down any un-neccesary buildings though.

It depends on the occupancy rate - are you talking about an 8/2 food OP?
It also depends on your opinion - there's no right or wrong (well, okay, there is a bit of wrong) when deciding how many of each building you want in your castle.

I looked at your castles and outposts. Your main has too many farms. 15 is not producing much when 100% is only for 3, I would get rid of half of them. Then you have level 3 wall up and level 2 towers. Upgrading those towers will increase your PO. I don't think you can get parks yet, but when you start talking down those houses.
Your stone outpost has too many farms. Here i would have left the dwellings and took them out of the food outpost. You have wooden towers at your food outpost. Towers add PO.
To add: I also noticed that you are not using your 8 food outpost to the best of it's ability. You only have 12 farms there when 8 are at 100%, yet you have 15 in your main when there are only 3 that are 100%. You also only have a level 1 keep there and you aren't caring for the wall and towers. those things increase production and this is where you make most of your food which will determine how many troops you can hold.
If your alliance can't guide you on this maybe you are in the wrong one.

Don't remove any farmhouses like people are suggesting. You do have a few too many for your level, but when you progress and get 200+ public order and Level 3 Flour Mills (maybe even a level 4 bakery) you will be happy with the number of farmhouses you currently have.
You might actually even want to build a few more farm houses in your 8/2 Food/stone OP(Whatever).
The Best suggestion I have for you is to build your public order and don't build too many dwellings. Though it does kind of suck that you don't have access to parks yet.

16 food house in main....It's way too much. You only need 9 in main. and 14 at best in 8 food outpost. This would maximize your number of food. Trust me on this ( you can only get 14 more food with the 15th and 16th foodhouse but you can get 40 food more if you replace those with a park)
