Matey, your criticism isn't constructive in the slightest. Constructive criticism is impossible at this point anyway, as you seem to pulling numbers out of thin air and generally have a poor understanding of the mechanics themselves. Lastly you appear to be rather loose with your use of the word "elites" and present a rather poor understanding of the armies of the ancient world.

Anyway, from how it sounds, I think you may be playing the wrong game entirely. EB is for those who wish to play a game that does its best to simulate the ancient world. Our recruitment will do that to best of our historical understanding and (as will be necessary) our interpretation. If you would prefer to play a different style of warfare then I would suggest a different style of play.

However threatening to not play EBII because you have intepretated a very rough sketch of how we visualise recruitment in EBII is not constructive and, to be honest, not really criticism.
