100m army (under old updates) would in theory be the ideal time to farm because of plague but unless it was for huge amounts some players wouldnt bother as the naq would be "pocket change" to them at that size
the new caps (or thresholds as they should be called in some cases) will cause some players to farm more if they cannot be bothered to raid. farming naq to buy uu, covering losses in the process. Is possible.
when i was ascending i farmed like crazy and farmed like 6.5trill in about 10 days...

excuse the uu raided and the 900 turns used that was after i ascended. havent reset temp log since.
farming covering 5m supers gave me potentially a 5m uu profit if i bought 10m uu. so farming can be worthwhile with the right incentive
that was with a 400-600b attack (crap MS, high usage of mercs)
That said, I have noticed that losses have been increasing. In one hit I lost 419,889 soldiers, granted alot of those were mercs and it was off an ascended blessing, but it seems to represent a trend in a general increase in losses. With the raiding cap removed, it's likely to become even less worth-while. Hopefully it can be fixed.
Then we'll be even
