Way to nice community-problem for the future

A organized fight is not anywhere close to a real fight. A real fight would be attacking a rivals cities during the night, and  burning them to the ground. I personally left illy because there was absolutely no purpose to me building up my army. If I used it against some one, I had the whole server on me, I would be kicked out of my alliance and destroyed.

The thing is, what defined building a city? I would argue that todays level of buildings were never meant to be seen. While build time could use an improvement, a city does not have to be maxed out to be functional.

Substantial size is all relative. If this game was a war from the beginning, then the size required for a decent army would be much smaller.

Even so, around 12k pop is the optimal size for max gold income without going horribly negative in food. Maybe it's just me but I'd consider 12k to be pretty large.

The point of the build time being so long is to encourage people to buy and use prestige, so there's really no improvement to make there.

the armies CAN NOT be impossibly high cause of the upkeep system, like cities cant limitless grow in size cause of the food management system......geez...
this is different then your average mmo
attacks rarely bring profit
