how to get over growth cap

[Big Pappa G]

well i am just below growth cap but cant get over it does anyone know how big my up has to be to get over thx

[minisaiyan]

well, if you want your army bigger than the growth cap, i assume you want it to keep growing above it. why not just keep building your UP bigger and bigger. the plague increases(to my knowledge) more, the further you are above the cap anyway.

well the problem is i cant get obove the pleauge becose more soldiers die per turn that are produced

The plague kills 50 units per turn for every 1 million units you have in your army. Therefore at the current plague cap you will lose approx 25,100 units per turn, (1,204,800 units per day). To grow above that, your UP simply has to be bigger than the plague deaths. Remember though as your army size increases, so does the amount that die from the plague, meaning you need a bigger and bigger UP as time goes on to keep growing.

Hope that helps,

P.S - this is all in a guide on TÅ forums

Is it worth raising your UP so much, just to get over that gap. Like you guys said, you're gonna have to raise it later anyway. Isn't it worth just to invest your naq on sth else? Not there yet, just curious

Multiply your total army by 0.00005 and that is how many you lose per turn. Then multiply that by 48 and you get your daily loss rate.

For example, current death rate....

Plague Threshold (total units): 501,232,877
501,232,877 * 0.00005 = 25,061 per turn
25,061 * 48 = 1,202,928 per day

Therefore you need higher than 1.2m UP
