This one’s personal experience is that the more defenders a base has, the larger the numbers in each wave of attacker.
When this one plays solo, they are relatively small waves even at high threat, a half dozen or so unless the conscript zerg rush.
When this one has a fully staffed fortress…
The game usual crashes or the majority of the massive waves are invisible due to rendering issues.
This one has not putzes around enough with Merc banners to know if they count towards the defender numbers.
