Apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but I don't recall it.
Most tournament players seem to agree that at higher game levels the troops from the Merc Camp are far superior to those from the Barracks. I have always maintained that until the point the Barracks training speed has reached maximum then it would be counter productive to work on the Merc Camp and Flying Academy as you would be needlessly capping the number of troops that you can produce. For that reason I have, until this point, never used the Mercenary Camp.
Now that my Needles has maxed (aside from the top 4 levels, which I will shelve for the time being), what I am wondering is - does anyone have any data or experience on exactly how much better the Merc Camp troops are compared to Barracks? The reason I ask is, as I am now working through Flying Academy levels I will still not be producing those troops because there will still be far fewer of them coming off the production line. What I am trying to get at is - is there a specific tipping point where it is worth starting to use the Merc Camp, even though the Flying Academy is still at a lower level than the Needles?
