It's interesting that the Goblin Army was roughly (and possibly exactly) numerically equivalent to the enemy force.

It's also hilarious overkill, given that the Goblins range in level from 8-40+ while the human army facing them is level 1 with a sprinkling of level 10 "elites".

But since it would already be overkill even if the Goblin Army had been only a few hundred (at that level spread), perhaps that numerical parity is one of the summoning conditions.

Back to the issue of feeding them all...I suspect in the most immediate term that goblins don't have any strict cultural taboo against consuming meat from a species they may not usually hunt for food.
