Logistics is everything

I am not aware if you are familiar with logistics. Probably you have
heard the word and sometimes have heard it is importnat. Yes, it is
important in everything I will say. Logistics is frequently used in
transport, manufacturing and warehouse. It is about the right stuff at
the right time at the right place. This is something that have been
objects to a lot of research in the field of economics tha last two
decades. Now it is a lot of optimizing the resources for minimum of
loss in time and storing goods.

But how are we able to use this with logistics in this game you maybe
ask. Simple I will say. We should use it frequently when it comes to
our offensive troops. Most of us have mutliple villages and some of us
are developing troops in all our villages. To me it is a big waste of
resouces that could be better used if we think before.

Develop offensive troops only in some villages, not all. The village
where you develop your offensive troops you also should send resources
to to be able to build up a grand army for offensive missions. in that
vilage you also should upgrade your soldiers. If your army becomes to
big for that village you send some of the tropps to villages nearby.
Once you need them for an offensive misison you take tham back to that
village and send them out for the mission.

Why is it better to develop offensive troops in one village than in
many. The answer is the force which an army could strike with. I will
for the exemple below use 5 armies of 200 imperians against a defense
of 800 preatorians. I will in another exemple us one army of 1000
imperians against 800 preatorians.

200 imperians against 800 praetorians
You lose 200 imperians
Defender lose 112 praetorians = left 688 praetorians

200 imperians against 688 praetorians
You lose 200 imperians
Defender lose 120 praetorians = left 568 praetorians

200 imperians against 568 praetorians
You lose 200 imperians
Defender lose 133 praetorians = left 435 praetorians

200 imperians against 435 praetorians
You lose 200 imperians
Defender lose 151 praetorians = left 284 praetorians

200 imperians against 284 praetorians
You lose 200 imperians
Defender lose 187 praetorians = left 97 praetorians

His defense is still up and you are out of troops.

Total:
You lost 1000 imperians
Defender lost 703 praetorians.

In the other exemple with one strong force:
1000 imperians against 800 praetorians

You lose 644 imperians
Defender lose 800 praetorians = left 0 praetorians
His defense is gone and you still have troops left for new missions.

All the exemples above was done in the war simulator.
