The remaining 14 units in the army would consist of units that cost less than 750 denarii. For example, if the player uses his limit for 6 urbies, he would have to select Roman cavalry instead of Legionary cav or praetorian cav - they both cost over 750.

In effect, it would define a total limit for elite units, but not restrict unit choice in any other way. 750 is a good place to start - it would put a limit on the elite inf and cav, but not limit "mainstay" units such as Legionary Cohorts, Chosen Swordsmen, most phalanxes etc...

Of course there are still problems with this rule - Egypt would still need banning. Britons could still spam with chariots etc...

I like your idea, however to prevent from spanning 4-6max unit "TYPE"(cav archer etc...) can also be used to prevent players from spaming.

Egypt IMHO should never be banned, but I am more concern about the balancing cav civis cos it would be unfair to force scythians or parthians players to use inf for their armies.
