How about varying unit size
ie
60
100
120 etc
So u could have an elite unit of 60 men (well trained) and also in the battle a unit of 120 peasants ? this would allow u to have good armer and weapons on the elite and basic on the lower level or visaversa (if u wanted)
What do u all think ?
This could add a new level of realism.
After further thoughts
how about a merge unit command (in games)
So say, All units enter the game as squads of 60, but u have the ability to merge units, so say for example, you can merge 3 units of peasants, to make one unit of 180, and then control these as one unit. (and to stop any programming problems, you can only merge like units - so u couldn't merge a h6 cav with an h1 peasant erc.)
I dont know how hard this would be to programme......
This would allow u to control large armies, in one battle - without having to many units to move
OR
Maybe use a general/ commander and allocate units the that commander, then when u move one unit in his command they all move.
I believe Shadeswolf may be just Magy's 3rd posting name..
But if not, then please, newb, notice the thread already open on exactly the same topic.

Wow Khan this must have been a large effort of constraint in your part... Thanks for being nice to a newb.
ShadesWolf, Khan is right, there is a thread already open on the exact subject, please feel free to post on this same subject here:
