Good evening, cannon fodders.
This article will be short and sweet.
All good military accounts need a farm account. When you are running 200% troop sov on every city, two things happen very quickly. First, your gold burn soars into the red. A typical military player is running -50000 gold per hour in every city. Second, your advanced resource consumption far exceeds what your cities can produce.

Just so you can see the bovine bottleneck, I chose to represent cows for both saddles (2 cows) and leather armor (1 cow). Also keep in mind that you can produce swords OR chain at the Blacksmith, not both simultaneously.
In short, there is no feasible way to run nonstop troop queues without consuming far more advanced resources than your account can produce.
Pointy Ears
Predictably, there are two relative exceptions to the supply problem. The supplies required to produce orc kobolds and elf sentinels are relatively inexpensive. By trading the other supplies produced, it is possible to have sufficient beer, bows, and spears for constant kobold and sentinel production without making gold purchases.
Is that relevant? Probably not. Even though you can supply an orc or elf account by bartering resources (or the Centrum arbitrage equivalent), you would still need gold to maintain upkeep. For that purpose, a serious military player will still require an adequate gold farm.
Misbehave, kill lots of stuff.
