Trust me, you'll need shitloads more rss. Like 5b+ of each rss for 1 building, or some 25b of all rss + 75b silver to upgrade aesir for 9 to 10.

I managed to yield 250m rss, but i hate yielding..

Higher tier troops can be stronger per unit  but they weaker per food upkeep. Food upkeep is main limiter at this point how many troops you can safely have.I have not yet run into numbers where troop size will become problem - will see.

Then again, I do not think I ever reach that point where troops size will be problem as this game takes insane amount of time to play it properly. I dont think game devs understand that people need to eat and sleep at very least. Also it pisses me off that using gold has no safety whatsoever - so I see no point of buying it. I find that I often misclick and instantly spend thousands of gold on something silly.

Eventually by use of skills,  and knowledge,the amount of food you need is not really a problem.

Gold cannot be stolen , so its safe, but it is true to say you can potentially need lots of it, and waste it by rushing with your clicking,others including me have mentioned the situation before.

The answer is look carefully before you do anything, and check the click has been recognised by the program, often this is how problems with miising shields" occurs.

That is so weird that I did not even test it. In all other similar games you lose troops pretty quickly when you run out of food.

So why to have any food at all ?
