Hey All,
I recently started a game with the english using the largest unit sizes. That means:
spears / peasants = 200 men
archers / swords / etc = 120 men
cav = 80 men
Now, i noticed the following interesting facts:
1) archers start killing seriously now. Even vanilla archers against units with a shield (spearmen, for example) start killing about 15 - 20 enemies per shot. That would translate to 7.5 - 10 per volley in normal unit size..
2) Swords tend to survive longer
3) spears still rout fairly quickly
4) cavalry bunches up, so that the extra unit size is often just more bodies, instead of more combat power. Also, if you spread them wide, they lose maneuverability.
Did anybody notice something similar?
Oh, and does anybody else play with huge unit sizes?
