    Default populations on EB map

    Just curious as to how well the populations are balanced on the EB map. I personally play on huge units but a majority of people play on large. The problem with the vanilla RTW map is it was balanced for play on normal unit sizes.

    It is really horrible when you can watch the A.I. deplete nearly every single city to nothing. So how sustainable is the population for A.I. factions and is it being beta tested with large unit sizes?

    We believe the AI will be very competitive in EB.

    Yes I hate it when the Ai has huge armies but no economy. The population in their city's s normally 1000 tops.

    Sorry, I believe that the AI will be competitive at all unit sizes. I'll be able to talk a bit more about this later as we refine some things.

    Its not just an issue with the AI, it somewhat restricts the players military size too. Especialy if your a faction with giant unit sizes (pike levies and warbands are like 240 men =/)
