    size is up to you, all units have more destructive power when in larger numbers- Archers fire more arrows and are more likely to hit on huge, infantry can absorb more casualties...

    I personally play on huge, mostly du to an expierience I had In Vanilla,(on ´normal) when I charged a unit equites into a unit of those screeching women: "CHAAAARGE!" while they charged I issued an order to my infantry to reselect them when they have arrived, but alas stupid me I failed to select them in time,"so you charged them now get out before they slaughter you , get out, GET ou...gh their all dead :/, oh well prepare for the next charge" the women did not rout they were all dead on first impact :/

    I play in huge size only.

    Historically, a Roman Marian Cohort would have a paper strength of 480 men. Formed 4 men deep, you would have 120 men to the side. Battle lines were very long and thin. A Marian legion would typically put 4 cohorts in the front line (almost 2,000 men) yet, this first line was almost four men deep.

    The only way you can get close to representing this extremely long and thin lines is by sticking to huge unit sizes.
