    I use normal cuz I can't go higher. If I had a choice I would use large.

    Large for me. I'd love to use huge but it's just a bit over the envelope at times. Ho ho, when I build my next computer though... ho ho!

    My rig works fine on huge setting, so that's what I use. It does slow a bit when I increase speed to 2X or 3X, but that's to be expected.

    Huge all the way...
    what is unitdetails?:D I dont need details if I run a 20 unitarmy, wich gives me enough to think about in max overview camera setting. Only thing bothers me is the AI cheating...moveing troops outside the boundery of the map because it thinks it must form them in a single line no matter what :P

    large.

    On normal your units are so tiny you just can't put up a decent fight with em... Unless you have a Pike Phalanx type-Unit with extra men, your not going to have much fun and your men do not fight well in long battles.

    on the campaign map it seems that the AI cannot deal with huge unit sizes.

    it will deplete the population of virtually all of its cities down to 400

    Huge.

    I love to see the bodies piling up in the streets. Well would be piling up, but they don't have any sort of physics on them, so sort of carpeting the street at any rate.

    Plays well considering it's on a P4 2.4ghz. Only time I had a problem was 4 armies, all with big units and elephants and stuff, around a huge city in a custom battle. 4 fps rocks!

    This is an issue on normal unit size for most of the barbarian cities as well. Only Patavia, Alesia and Corduba are definitely immune, though it's possible Londinium can also be added to that list.

    I have seriously considered switching to small units to reduce this problem and to decrease pathfinding problems during city assaults. That I haven't done so is because I think combat will throw up some very strange results and because I am concerned that the city garrison effect will not scale with unit size, an effect that would make playing with small units impossible.
