Imperia Romana Features List

Sounds right. Will the number and type of units vary?

And are there plans to help out the AI to counteract this very powerful tool?

This can be done through some more scripting unless I'm very wrong. I might have to check with our scripter though. Luckilly, the AI will be able to use this tool which will increase the challenge. And also keep in mind that that 29000$ is just an example with the recruitment costs and upkeeps that I randomly decided! but with higher recruitment costs and upkeeps, we might end up with armies worth like 50 000$!

Can you script a huge drop in population to match it?

How can the AI use this tool? I think it isn't able to use show-me scripts, or is it?

alpaca ---> I'm pretty sure there's other ways to get them to use it. IIRC, our scripter told me there was a way to make the AI use the feature under certain conditions.

NeonGod ---> it is already, or will soon be part of the script. We wanted to add a general pop drop, meaning the army won't drain population only from the city it recruits but from every city proportionnaly

Interesting, I'd like to know how you do it if you want to share ;)

[3.14]

I will ask for more info on the subject and will only tell if it's possible or not. Every info on that script will be made public once v1.0 is out ;P
