The UN projections for the human population by 2200 is about 12,000,000,000. If we divide that by the number of pops the UNE starts with a pop is 375 million for humans. Obviously, other creatures that number would be different. Small aliens, they'd have a higher population and large aliens would have a lower population. In the game, you can only recruit as many normal armies as there are pops of that species in your empire.
And obviously, entire pops aren't getting recruited, so is there any way to know the percentage of pop getting recruited? Is there any way to find the size of an army?
Method 1: Time
The Base growth of a pop at the beginning of the game is 3 points per month and 100 points are needed to complete the growth of a pop. This means it takes about 33.3 months to grow a pop, which is about 1000 days. An assault army takes only 90 takes to recruit. (90/1000)*375,000,000 is 33.75 million. Answer 1: A Human assault army is 33.75 million people.
Method 2: Upkeep
A fortress creates three defense armies and the building has an upkeep of 1 energy. About 40% of the military budget of the united states goes to personnel. So each defense army costs about 0.133 energy credits. The Base food upkeep of a pop is 1 food and at the beginning of the game technicians and farmers produce the same amount of energy and food. 0.133*375,000,000=49.9875 million. Answer 2: a human army is about 50 million
If you average it out (again assuming many things, and rounding) an Army is about 41.875 million.
So at the beginning of the game, as the UNE you'll only be able to recruit 32 because that's Earth's population. So 32 armies is about 1,340,000,000 people. Which is about 11.1666% of your population and one army is the same. Again there are many assumptions and probably flaws in my logic but those are the only ways I could think of.
