recruitment suggestion

ill make this quick and to the point:

Implement bigger population drops for recruiting units, so city populations can become depleted through excessive recruitment.

There is probably a hardcode in the way here, but maybe theres a way around it with clever scripting? Example: When you got recruit a unit of 80 spearmen, the game actually creates a 200 man group but the unit is 'switched' for a 80 man group before the user can use it.

just an idea

Huge unit size takes chunks out of your pop. too

takes a huge chunk outta performance too! heh...I would love to run the game with huge units. I guess this is more of a problem for people with lower spec computers, but a miniMod task then rather than a full blown chance to everyone recruitment.

Ermm why would you want that? That how it used to be *city depleting their population* before they scripted it that ai cities get bonuses when they recruit. Because after about 40 turns, all of gaul, germania, dacia, the steppe, iberia, and not-coastal africa cities only had 400 people in them and the AI screwed itself over. It wasn't pretty.
