Though it may not fit in to the era I would like to see big units of like 80 or 120 or whatever break into a bunch of little groups of like 10 or 20 men and have little skirmishes with the enemy that can do the same thing. I know it wouldn't be useful unless the enemy did it too. But I think that would be cool to see that like as an option technology. Just my opinion.
What?
Noooooo
First off, there is already a unit cap, so how are you going to control the little units? What if you wanted to do that with a bunch of units? Increasing the unit cap will only cause the player and AI to use more full units.
How will you control it? I don't understand your idea. Are you talking about it being a separate formation? Or are you talking about physically splitting the unit? As a separate formation, what would be the purpose of it? If your whole unit simply spreads out, its the same as it was before, only looser. Again, what purpose would that serve?
Units in ETW tend to lose cohesion when they route anyway.
And let me tell you, it's a pain.
You send your cavalry off after the units flag, but they end up running to the other side of the map to chase down the two strays.
I wish they'd fix it, really. It's kind of annoying.
Select a unit to break up and maybe the unit card spreads above the unit cap into a bunch of little cards like boxes. I dont know I have it set up in my mind its just too hard to explain. Anyways its just a thought so no reason to freak out market lol jk.
