Army/ Unit size

[ShadesWolf]

How about varying unit size

ie
60
100
120 etc

So u could have an elite unit of 60 men (well trained) and also in the battle a unit of 120 peasants ? this would allow u to have good armer and weapons on the elite and basic on the lower level or visaversa (if u wanted)

What do u all think ?
This could add a new level of realism.

After further thoughts

how about a merge unit command (in games)

So say, All units enter the game as squads of 60, but u have the ability to merge units, so say for example, you can merge 3 units of peasants, to make one unit of 180, and then control these as one unit. (and to stop any programming problems, you can only merge like units - so u couldn't merge a h6 cav with an h1 peasant erc.)

I dont know how hard this would be to programme......

This would allow u to control large armies, in one battle - without having to many units to move

OR

Maybe use a general/ commander and allocate units the that commander, then when u move one unit in his command they all move.

I believe Shadeswolf may be just Magy's 3rd posting name..

But if not, then please, newb, notice the thread already open on exactly the same topic.
