Spreadsheet comparing the 2 sides of the war

I believe the number of barracks/cities an alliance has also factors into it. I suppose you could divide by average city size of Elgea to get a rough estimate, but there is nothing average about these alliances.

Just because a Ferrari is a faster car than one you can buy for a few thousand bucks, doesnt mean it is not a car at all !!

So a military town can still be called military even if it does not devote all their sov lands ( and guess you said 18-20 to so noone dares to say than any of your towns, with 2 food dolmens, are by any means non military :P ). Whether it's fully optimal or not, that's a diferent business, but the same applies to having prestige, a better location (most of the times by early start ), more time to devote to the game ... or *cough* multi-ing *cough*.

Or multiplying "the average training bonus" by the number of towns, to figure out an equivalent value to 20rax towns with no bonuses ( to have something alike to compare).

As you said, having a higher bonus, lets say 200%, when an alliance has 100 towns , would be able to train less troups than one with 500 towns and lower bonuses, or no bonuses at all.

For granted, that there are trillion of other factors, like whether all the accounts are played, whether they train, whether all the towns have barracks 20 ( as some of those towns could still be small)...

Older alliances usually have higher inactivity rate, but also some of the most hardcore players...

So The Confeds have 14 alliances / 87 mil pop versus The Coalition with 9 alliances and 34 mil pop. If The Confeds can add a few more alliances, they might finally bring it up to an even fight!
