Actually, it's way more than 100% extra troops, closer to quadruple!
The SSS, FA, DBW, and Toads at level 30 are kicking out an extra 1,900 stacks every tournament cycle.
Without wonders: 1100 stacks per cycle
With L30 wonders: 4,100 stacks per cycle
Still don't see a meaningful difference?
Almost 4x the troops doing 140% the damage with 130% health not significant?
You're hard to impress
As I outlined, having more troops (or even way more troops) doesn't really allow you to do more. The amount of squads you have is irrelevant beyond the point where you have enough to accomplish what you want to accomplish, since you're limited to 5 squads per battle with size determined by the province you're in. My troop-producing wonders are at very modest levels but I'm still able to maintain enough troops to do all the fighting I'm interested in doing; having more would not really be that helpful to me. In addition, please remember my saying that bonuses do not matter for battles where you wouldn't be able to win anyway and are going to end up catering. An additional point is the reality that the gaps are much smaller than comparing maxed-out wonders to no wonders at all. How many serious tournament fighters are doing so with completely unboosted units?
I wouldn't say I'm hard to impress, but I will say that I don't overinflate the value of AW bonuses. Take a closer look at something like the scrolls or magic dust tournaments, try fighting through them, and let me know how much you expect military bonuses would actually help there in overall tournament performance compared to what you achieve via catering.
