"Huge" unit setting

**Alexander the Pretty Good** · 11-11-2005, 21:53

I wish I could play in huge - I like the economic challeges it adds. Do I go for this unit, or that one? I can only afford one...

But my lappy can't handle that...

Errrm, units don't cost more on huge (If I'm not horribly mistaken here) they only pull more poeple from the cites. (Obviously)

EDIT: Can't spell

I thought they cost more, since cost is determined by a soldier basis.

They do cost more upkeep and draw more people.

I always play Large, the middle way.

I like the 80 man , infantry units.

I could play Huge, computer spec. wise, but I still prefer to play large.

I love huge. It makes a big difference with things like population management (you'll have to avoid training infantry in slow-growing cities). Infantry lines work better in field battles because the line is much longer, meaning that it takes some time to move even fastest units from one end of the line to another. This is especially useful if you play with phalanxes.

Agree

I can play with huge without problems, but the navigation on the battlefield is painful, and having population problems isn`t really a wanted challenge. Probably not good for the AI either.

I have modded the game so that I have an Extra-Large setting, with 100 men as the basis. It is lovely. Not as uncontrollable and Huge, but more epic than Large, not as destructive as Huge (population depletetion) but longer lasting than Large. And it is hardly lagging which can be a problem on Huge.

I urge you to try it.

Done!

It's fun and challenging in which you have to think twice before exterminating a settlement if you want to garrison it immediately.
