That is why for me to be impressed with any turtle empire, they must bloat a massive force within about 20 turns.

Frankly I'd give you 30. Show me whatcha got. And don't forget to make note of how many spies, assassins, naval forces you've made, and also what your total economic output is.

Still, even by this, how do you measure it? Is 10 units of levy spearmen better than 3 units of knights?
