If we compare no batch to 2-10 batches. After 60 seconds: 2 1.02767254972061 3 0.985794108773369 4 0.96419601647961 5 0.842511233639707 6 0.809886682621353 7 0.787635316056181 8 0.725540687970097 9 0.624656521911935 10 0.485888389876762 Meaning after 60 seconds only 2 batch production is ahead, and only by ~2.8% After 90 seconds: 2 1.07140697286798 3 1.08663652712691 4 1.07784597069266 5 1.03953334109689 6 1.03076486879081 7 1.00244494770787 8 0.923415421052851 9 0.849421381590345 10 0.855485117783215 After 90 seconds 2 batch production is ahead by ~7.1%, 3 batch production by ~8.7%. After 120 seconds: 2 1.09181637033674 3 1.12649376026016 4 1.13088261599208 5 1.13147699124358 6 1.13384135566989 7 1.10268944247865 8 1.07930705300764 9 1.0801167081955 10 1.05440758719945 This is what I found surprising. After just 120 seconds even producing Civilians in 10 batch sizes you are already head of producing them 1-by-1. 2 batch production is ahead by ~12.6%, and 3 batch production by ~13.1%.

I was testing my performance in game with max setting, if pop 200 within screen then fps is 40, then again I'm on 1440p. So I saw the AI in their base when one of my man decide to wonder for whatever reason and its been like 25min already I wondered why not attack? Then after getting ready for war, I came wondered why my man can't enter then I was like don't tell me... This guy can't get out LOL. Stuck.zip

@DesertRose What if one decides to play without batches? How effective would that be? I imagine you would need to build additional training buildings sooner. 

I have created an .ods spreadsheet to see what batch sizes have the most active_time after x seconds. Assuming the values there are correct there are some quite interesting results for training Civilians: To maximize resource gathering time after 60 seconds it's best to train in batch sizes of 2; 1 is slightly better than 3 After 120 seconds the optimal batch size is 6; however it's only better by ~0.6% than a batch size of 3 After 240 seconds (4 minutes) the optimal batch size is 11; however it's only better by ~1.5% than batch size of 7, and ~10.5% better than a batch size of 3   0AD_Batch_Size_Calculations.ods

I probably had it on. I turned all the settings on pretty indiscriminately (it was late last night)
