[Repost, Training Camps] Recruit training - common training ( RT01 ) to Legendary training ( RT20 ) - Advice, Stats, and Math

Backstory

@Kerpen

Only this would diminish my recruits supply a lot.
Or is there a better way to get rid of swords?

In a funny bit of backstory, I have NEVER used swords on any Empires account ( see notes ).

I misunderstood how training camps work with my first Empires account until Stronghold level 5. So I skipped straight to Low cost training ( RT04 - no ascension items).

With my other accounts, I always skip Common ( RT01 ) - I do not even research it.

Advanced House

Until Advanced House Level 10 ( see notes), I never used kits / backpacks because Hero XP per recruit is better for Extra low cost ( RT11 ) and Extra Fast ( RT19 ) and recruits was the largest bottle neck.

Swords

Now it is a play style issue.

My biggest bottle neck is RNG paywalls so I have a hoard of 7,112x finished heroes in Extra fast ( RT11 - 3x camps ).

Other players use swords with the idea

This is only a game
There will always be more recruits and food

Swords versus Rugged clothes

1* heroes give so little Hero XP, I recommend the following.

Extra low cost ( RT11), and Uncommon ( RT02 ) when possible.

Common ( RT01 ), and Extra fast ( RT19 ), when out of troops to level, class nodes to activate, battle items to create ( see notes ). With the Advanced House, and Atlantis Rising, which is better is very complex. Because you cannot turn swords into rugged clothes, and vice versus, eventually you will run out of one and start using the other. Pick whichever you find the most fun.

Unfortunately you can not just create 2* heroes at a reasonable cost in ascension items, recruits, food and time.

Using swords

Okay, I have technical used swords for research purposes, but “I have ONLY used swords for research purposes” does not sound as cool
