Talk:Sengoku Rance: First game maximum bonuses and triple digit points/@comment-88.112.147.23-20200724222818/@comment-46261745-20200724234835

Keep in mind that footsoldiers are excluded from your average troop count, as are all troops with fewer than 300 troops, so bringing Katsuie up to 500 will not affect Fuuka's recruitment.

If you're optimizing your game, you'll most likely run into the NP wall, even with the 2nd game bonuses... Would be great to get someone else's thoughts on this too, but my own experience is that although having high troop count can help with a few recruits (Fuuka, Rizna, Dousan, etc) it's overall not advantageous, since you'll either have trouble accommodating others in your roster, halve your income or be forced to get rid of generics early.

I personally muuch prefer having the generics and Niwa, etc, for their high utility in scouting, searching, negotiating etc, than to have a few troops with very high troop counts - remember, your enemies will be scaling on troop cont as well (and secret reinforcements if you're wiping everything out).

Just my experience, so take it with a grain of salt - hopefully someone else in this forum with more experience than I have in SR will add their thoughts!
