City Population

[B-Wing]

Of course, the Romans are an exception to this rule and they did indeed fight much like the RTW AI. They simply refuse to surrender on any terms and just raise another set of legions.

Well that is a nice way to look at things.

So the only thing to say:
Thank god for MWII recruitment system.

I also much prefer M2TW's recruitment system. I think it will suit EB much better than RTW's.

And keep in mind that although recruitment is done via cities, those cities are representative of entire provinces/regions. So the combined population of a faction's cities need not necessarily reflect the faction's total population, particularly amongst cultures that tended to be less urban and more rural or nomadic.
