Choose a tier that is actually unlocked
The troop reference covers ten tiers and their Barracks gates. Tier 10 needs Barracks level 30 and the Soldier X research path; a Barracks number by itself is not a complete unlock check. Use the research planner for the dependencies behind Soldier X.
New-soldier costs are per soldier. Multiply the selected tier’s base Wood and Food by your planned count, then apply an eligible reduction as a separate input. Promotion and healing are different actions and do not automatically use this training bill.
Use capacity to explain the schedule
The queue model splits your count into batches using the capacity you enter and assigns them across one to four queues. A smaller final batch uses only its actual soldier count. Total queue work and elapsed time are shown separately.
The estimate assumes queues start immediately, have the entered common capacity and speed, and are supplied with resources. Travel, future income, downtime and an already-running queue can change the calendar result. Use the estimate to compare plans rather than promise a finish time.
