Bear Hunt
The Bear doesn't strike back: only damage counts. All your archers first, then cavalry, then infantry to fill the remaining space.

Example loaded (1,039,069 troops). Import your screenshot to use your own numbers.
Where is this screen?
In game, open the troop overview and stay on the All tab (troops in the city and outside). Take a screenshot of the whole screen: each troop line and the number of march queues are read. Wounded troops are not counted.
2Your marches
March queuesthe number shown in game (e.g. 6/6), without the rally leader march

Valora bonus Expert
This bonus only shows during the Bear Hunt. Enter your usual march sizes above: it is added to them.
+3,000 per level, level 10 max. Dance of the Hunt is not counted: it enlarges the rally (more room for joiners), not your marches.
3Ratio to set in game
The Lab can be wrong. This ratio follows a simple rule; it is not simulated. Compare with your own results against the Bear.
How it's calculated
The calculation follows a simple rule: all archers first, then cavalry, then infantry to fill the remaining space. Safety floor: never more than 89% archers, with at least 1% infantry and 10% cavalry (1/10/89, the optimum given by reference guides). Beyond that, the effect has not been checked in game: run your own tests.
