War predictions

Exaggerated Calc:  9.6M x10 cities = 96M Gold Daily in all towns. 10 days Maxed. lol (but this is not possible...) if you have a billion you'll last up to 104 days holding those troops.

You are all forgetting the costs until you build up all those troops ;)

Here is the deal, to build a knight with no sov reduction requires 800 seconds.
100000 knights require 80.000.000 seconds which are 925 DAYS during which you will go negative in the 90% of them and the additive cost (-1000 per hour today, -2000 tomorrow, -3000 the next day and so forth ) is going to be huge well before before you reach your target, or before a war starts, even with sov reduction ...

I am one of those players.. and if you average -100k we could say you are -20mil a day. That adds up pretty quick. You are talking about fifty days worth of coin at that level. this war has already gone past that. If you have an extremely large army (say -500k) then you are talking about much less time for a war. Your math is very bad. That's 2.4M a day. And 1B/2.4M = 416 days. That's absolutely sustainable without a second account. Even if we said -500K that's still 84 days on 1B gold.

You are doing the math for one town ... he was talking about ten of them.
100000 per hour * 24 hours * 10 towns = 24.000.000 million gold deficit per day.

What do I mean by a military account; 16-20 L2 or higher troop sov claims, 2 or more troop lodgings, non-stop production, large amount of troops, high taxes, 2 or more geo magic effect, in every single town.

 
There is a solution, it is pretty easy and obvious, but since it is you I will let you find it by yourself

The war should be unsustainable for most large players at this point. the fact that it isn't leaves me feeling like such a noob... i haven't run positive gold cities in a long time... and i'm a peaceful trader... And it is only my trade that allows me to keep a sizeable army for the defense of myself and my friends. At times I have run over -100k in a city.. Now I can't imagine sustaining that for very long and I certainly can't imagine going beyond to say.. 500k? or more?

No sir.. This cannot be done without permasat feeder accounts. The fact that so many are claiming that they can do this or that it is being done is a VERY bad sign for Illy; pervasive permasat feeder accounts are a symptom of a dying game and dying community.
