Nice post about a game mechanic that is seemingly simple but actually takes a lot of strategy and is often overlooked by a vast majority of our players.
It's good that you spread your knights into smaller rallies. Rarely do you need 1000+ knights in a farming party, because cities rarely have enough resources to meet that haul capacity. I would say, however, that if you are at the point where you actually own 1k knights, you may be able to 1up your farming by sending scouts to potential megafarm locations. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find a single city that's unprotected and housing over 10k of each resource. Hit that with your full knight army or whatever is efficient, and you'll make well over what you're making now by using only a few scout waves and 1 knight wave.
