I don't get why you would bother with 10 or even 30 looters when your army is 500 strong. They don't give that much xp. The only time I fight looters in the mid game is when they are a band of 50+, when your army of 100+ consists mainly of elite units you're gonna get like 2-6 upgraded troops at most.running an army of 500 to 10 looters is fun! 30 seconds to load 15 seconds for them to die 30 seconds to load out and repeat 2000 time wooooohoooo!
