I realise I sound very presumptuous making a thread here, apologies!! lol. I feel very presumptuous. But thought a thread where people can make random suggestions might help. Also because I have one.
You may already be aware of this but in all aspects of history different armies have used different sizes. From the compact legions of Rome 5000 in a legion i believe. To the Persian Empire, 1,000,000 :-). This has never properly been done in a TW game before. Why? Upkeep costs.... The game has very different costs for units, but the upkeeps are almost always the same. 100-150 for infantry, and 175-250 for cavalry. Sure the heavy christian knights cost a little more, 250 compared to maybe 200 for the Turkish. But the point is that still doesnt give the opportunity for any numerical advantage.
In warhammer this will be even more important. Skaven slaves for example, which have leadership 2, will never beat anything in a fair fight and should outnumber enemies at least 3 to 1. So for example where a regiment of empire halberds might have upkeeep 120, slaves might be just 50. The problem is that in the Vanilla TW games, army sizes were limited by economy and upkeep, and in the end armies from different factions tended to be the same size, despite that in real life they were much different. I hope you will have cruelly different upkeeps to make this a better game this way. Make Khorne Knights cost an arm and a leg, and have them smashing through my small army of slaves that cost the same points/gold.
I hope I could help.
