In Ant Legion, Army Scale represents your base troop march size—the maximum number of units you can deploy in a single march or rally. Because total troop volume serves as the base multiplier for your combat attributes, expanding your Army Scale directly improves your battle performance in player-versus-player combat, predator hunts, and alliance rallies.

Where to Find Your Army Scale
You can view your permanent base Army Scale directly within your Commander profile:
- Tap your Commander portrait in the upper-left corner of the main screen.
- Select your detailed combat attribute breakdown.
- Scroll down through your military statistics to find Army Scale (or March Size).
This value displays your permanent passive capacity before temporary items, talents, or coalition bonuses apply.

How to Increase Your Army Scale
Expanding your march capacity requires a mix of base progression, laboratory research, and hero management.
1. Upgrade Your Queen
Your Queen level establishes your baseline Army Scale. Each major milestone upgrade to the Queen grants an immediate flat increase to your troop deployment limit alongside higher building and troop tier caps.
- Fulfill prerequisite buildings early: Queen upgrades require matching-tier support structures, including defensive walls and resource storage. Keep these structures leveled to avoid construction bottlenecks.
- Collect Alliance Help: Request alliance assists immediately upon starting a Queen upgrade to reduce the base timer before applying construction speedups.
2. Research March Tech in the Evolution Lab
The Evolution Lab provides permanent, compounding bonuses to your march limits across several research branches.
| Research Node | Tree Location | Scaling Effect | Primary Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Troop Scale / March Size | Military / March Development | Flat capacity increase per march | Baseline capacity for all individual deployments |
| Leadership Evolution | Advanced Military Trees | Percentage multiplier to march size | High-value scaling for large, established armies |
| Rally Evolution | Alliance / War Trees | Increases total assembled coalition cap | Essential for leading multi-player alliance rallies |
Prioritize unlocking the flat Troop Scale nodes early in the Military tree to ensure your deployment capacity keeps pace with your unit training output.
3. Station and Ascend Specialist Heroes
Certain heroes feature passive leadership skills that expand your army ceiling:
- Inspect your hero roster for leadership specialists with passive deployment buffs.
- Level these heroes using development EXP and prioritize star ascensions to unlock their secondary and tertiary capacity skills.
- Assign these specialists to your active march presets or designated stationing slots to keep their capacity bonuses active during deployments.

Utilizing Temporary March Expansions
When preparing for high-stakes PvP warfare, contested server objectives, or world boss rallies, you can stack temporary multipliers on top of your permanent Army Scale:
- Army Expansion Items: Located in your inventory bag, these consumables typically boost your total troop march size by 20% to 50% for a set duration (such as 4 or 24 hours). Activate them right before active combat engagements rather than during resource gathering.
- Commander Talents: Mobilization-focused talent paths provide additional march size boosts that can be toggled on prior to major competitive events.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This saved me time in the early game.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
Nice guide. I am checking the other Ant Legion articles next.
