According to this, when starting out, your defense score should be 50 times your acreage. Since it says only to build soldiers, it would take 50,000 soldiers to meet this requirement when just starting out. You don't have anywhere near that amount of money at the start......seems a little flawed to me. It would take days to get the money to buy 50,000 soldiers.

hello. this is how i did it. i just joined today, and you might want to try it out...invest your initial money as much as you can thru (1) exploration of free land, and (2) building new mines. this will increase your revenue stream. at the same time, use the alchemy spell to put more money into your pot. once you have enough money thru these investments, then you can recruit a lot of soldiers.

I agree, but there are some ways to reduce the time and cost
Firstly, you'll be buying soldiers will all your income, so it will be better to have 25% barracks and 75% mines, than have 100% mines, as the saving you make in troop costs from the barracks will outweigh the money lost from having 25% less mines.
Also, alchemy wont do any good until you have enough mana for it, which generals and automators don't at the beginning.
But for those who do have it, it can give you 80% additional income every 4 hours, so it's best worked out 20% every hour.
Also, trading max isn't 25% for Moguls, it's 50%.
I can't remember how much money you start with, but with 25% barracks, and 75% mines all trade agreements filled, and alchemy used when available, the amount of troops you should be able to buy would be-
(showing approximate troops per hour, and hours until 50 times acreage worth of troops)
1800 | 28 [ Warmonger ]
1200 | 43 [ Mogul ]
900 | 56 [ Visionary, Magician, Slayer and Necromancer ]
750 | 67 [ General and Automator ]
400 | 125[ For no barracks, no alchemy, and no trade agreements]
So between 1 and 3 days for all, although these are all just best estimates
It would also be quicker if you had 100% mines, until you could afford all the troops, then destroy 25% of the mines and replace them with barracks, to get the troops at half price. I would not recommend this though, as it's likely you'll be attacked, and you could lose all your gold.
