"Huge" unit setting

[Geoffrey S]

Do different unit sizes cause problems for the AI, for instance in sieges?

The bigger the better!

Bah, it's not the size that matters but how you use it.

[Kaldhore]

I just changed my setting as advised above to 100. Works a treat - oh and I checked. Unlike Vanilla Rome (I think) this DOES raise the cost of troops :/

[Grey_Fox]

On huge the AI has great problems expanding it's cities, meaning that not only is the AI poor die to lack of taxpayers but also is chronically short of troops.

[GreatEmperor]

That's true and it makes the game less challenging because the AI has got weak troops and you've got strong

[Garvanko]

Huge units are great. The only draw back is that you'll get the 'reinforcements delayed' message more often than not on the battlemap.

[GreatEmperor]

That won't happen if you replace this line in the preferences file
UNLIMITED_MEN_ON_BATTLEFIELD:FALSE
with
UNLIMITED_MEN_ON_BATTLEFIELD:TRUE

[Garvanko]

True, but I don't think my computer handle more than 5000 men in one battle at the same time.. degraded performance and all that.

Reinforcements only come when sufficient numbers of either army start to rout.
