In PGAlgodon’s announcement of the changes to Atlas castle guard requirements, he posted this table. NEW MECHANICS
With the release of this feature, we are instituting a new castle guard threshold of 10% (or greater) of the maximum hireable castle guards in order to receive any and all bonuses provided by infrastructure on each player-owned castle. Furthermore, castles who are under their 10% threshold will not receive victory points during end of round calculations on every second Wednesday at 2:00pm PT.
| Castle Tier | Max Fort Level | Max Castle Guards | 10% Threshold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 2 | Level 3 | 2,000,000 | 200,000 or greater |
| Tier 3 | Level 6 | 3,000,000 | 300,000 or greater |
| Tier 4 | Level 9 | 4,000,000 | 400,000 or greater |
| Tier 5 | Level 12 | 5,000,000 | 500,000 or greater |
| Tier 6 | Level 12 | 5,000,000 | 500,000 or greater |
These values are not consistent with the table of changes posted in July '21, which say
Here are the new values based on the most recent Atlas Castle Defense Update:

The game appears to reflect the July '21 numbers. So, did PGAlgodon post an old table? If so, could someone at PG provide clarification that the castle guard table in the Feb 3 post is not correct? If the Feb 3 numbers are correct, then why are we not being allowed to hire more castle guards beyond the July '21 values?
