The idea is to add 10 side upgrades reducing time by 5% each time. You could upgrade each barracks and spell factory to speed up all troops in that building taking 80 upgrades in total for all barracks and spell factories. The other is to upgrade each troop/spell in the laboratory to reduce training time. Which ever way it would reduce training time by 50%.
The only other thing is to reduce recovery time of Heros by adding side upgrades. Having a hero down for more than 30 min to an hour makes it hard to attack very often.
Working 7 days a week I only have a few hours a day to get on and play waiting on troops all the time leaves little time to actually play the game so I hope something is done to decrease the time to make an army.
