    Since the decrease of spec/elite values it is definitely a "yay" in low amounts (10% tops) together with TG. They do not need to be upkept during war like TGs when acres start swapping hands (as long as you do not slack) and they help more when you get chained (since you will be able to sit every offensive troop on a horse).

    Humans/Halfers/Elves/Faery hybrids: yay!

    Orcs/Undeads; negotiable, prioritize TGs!

    Dwarves; Nay, since you should be building econ buildings to abuse your high BE!

    Stables are worth it up to a certain point. Early in the Age they are worth it but as your total offense grows you get better offensive military bonuses by using those acres for Training Grounds.

    You should probably have said nothing at all.

    TGs first, then stables.

    Your horse count will always decrease unless you take steps to stop this as your acres grow and your horses die. You can always kidnap them back though, another reason you prioritise tgs over stables btw.

    Most important factor in determining tg vs stables is number of offensive troops/acre particular province is running. I find it amusing noone ever considers that.

    anyway tg>stable most of the time to answer OP

    It decreases pretty slowly. They last for days in war, while TGs suffer more immediate drop offs as soon as your new land comes in from your first hit.

    Overbuildings tgs is effective, not the case with stables. I dont know why you guys are even arguing, tgs> stables.
