What is the current maximum army size for each nation (barring mercs)?

[Mr Suplex]

When using max level alliance gate and barracks, what is the maximum troop space each nation can achieve currently. Is my math below correct?

Default is 159 (135 for barracks + 24 for alliance gate)
Romans are 172 (148 for barracks + 24 for alliance gate)
French are 165 (135 for barracks + 30 for alliance gate)

I'm asking this so I know the maxs and can help spot cheaters. I was just hit by a British player who used 54 riflemen, 10 artillery, and 3 supply trucks (plus 2 flame tanks and 6 gurkhas). I'm not seeing how this army can be achieved without cheating. That is 165 troop space before accounting for the mercenaries.

The Building you can unlock increase troops space by 6 or 7 for event

Maybe was a french player who changed to brit before attacking?

Who changes from French to Brit?

I'm French and I gained 10 spots from the dojo. Only good for 7 days though.

Maybe he has a couple of accounts and he donated some troops to himself - I can speak from experience!

My CA nation loves IA archers!!

Yeah, I didn't realize that the dojo adds barracks space, so no cheating and thus no reporting. This is why I ask before I report!

But back to my original question, are those the correct max army sizes for each nation under "normal" conditions (ie no Dojo)?

OK, let's see what we have that affects troop population:

Standard Troops
Barracks: 40 troop capacity at level 8 (x3) = 120 + 5 from the Town Center = 125
Standing Army Ch. 1-3: +10 to max, for 135
Rome: 10% increased troop capacity = 148
Heavy Weaponry Ch. 3: -1 heavy tank troop space
Ballistics Ch. 2/3: -1 troop space for ranged siege/-1 troop space for supply

Donated Troops
In Industrial, 30 troop space is the max donation; +6 if your are French

Mercenaries
Industrial max: 4
Free Companies Ch 3: +1=5

Airstrip
Industrial max: 2
Aviation Ch 3: +1=3

I think that covers everything! Now you just have to build a spreadsheet for the troop cap taken by each troop...complicated by the fact that we don't differentiate donated troops from merc from regular troops. This is pretty similar to what we do for each cheater reported, which is why it can take some time (grab logs, calc, double check, etc) . We're working to automate it though, so hopefully that will go much faster!

You missed the addtional mercenary for the Chinese, Ironangel ;-)

 

[Mr Suplex]

Not worried about Mercs, because they are easy to spot as they are different from other troops.

The question stands, is the max army size (less mercs and aircraft) currently 159 by default, with Romans going to 172 and French to 165?

By all accounts the answer seems to be YES.
