No one attacks me...so far.

[Ibrahim]

I read quite a few posts of people who claim that they face harder opponents who attack with huge armies.

In my campaign as KH I only had to fight two big armies Mak. and Epeiros and even them they were not full stacks.

With unit size at huge, is it so difficult for the AI to find the manpower, or is it something else?
I'm looking forward to feedback from anyone but more from the seasoned EB commanders.

Thanks!

hope I can fullfill my obligation here: yeah, huge unit sizes can delay the real action (Romani and Steppe aside), for a much longer time. the reason is because, while the units get bigger, the cities do not grow correspondingly so, so armies become a huge drain on the population, and consequently, there are fewer armies in the begining*. it does heat up after a while though. even then though, its arguably easier to bring a faction down, since (army resource wise), deporting or exterminating the population will hit the ilitary harder. at least with my Vestatio technique (the most blasphemous approach to war since Sherman )

I myself normally play on large, not huge-my computer is more likely to CTD with Huge, though I have made improvements to the operation of the machinery.


*it doesn't help the AI that it is constantly training boatloads of men, in comparison to most human players.
