Unit Limit : Compaign

Truly, my spelling ability is astounding.....

I think we'll rather use the replenishment numbers to limit the amount of certain units; levy troops will replenish quickly while elite ones will be available a lot more rarely. Hard limits on a given unit won't make much sense, after all if a kingdom has one province it will be able to support less of an elite than if it has vast tracts of land and manpower.

I think it would make a lot of sense, especially for regional units.

Scordisci Infantry, Spartan hoplites, Praetorian Guard, etc. Especially for the exceptionally rare regional unit.

It is far too early to tell. In vanilla I can see it being used as a gameplay device - who can get that powerful unit first - but in EB it would be used as a balancing device. If we can achieve a more realistic result through respawn rates then we will go for that, rather than artificially limiting it.

Hmm. Could it be possible to increase the total maximum number by, say the population of the territory which they originate from?

For instance, if Sparta is a tiny town, it may support 1 hoplite unite, when it becomes a massive metropolis, it may support 8?

OF course, this leads intothings that would be far mroe difficult in dev. Perhaps respawn is far better after all. :)

Again, as I said, if we can achieve the same result with fewer pieces of code I will be happier.
