    Because the AI gets a population boost if it depletes its cities... Playing on huge will unbalance the game as you'll have more trouble getting enough people to halt the endless swarms of enemies. Your mileage may vary.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Actually the unit size doesn't matter. The script is designed to know what unit size you have it set to and to replenish the appropriate number (half the amount) that have been recruited. The size will not screw up the script.

    I would suggest huge. Just my personal preference.

    Yeah, but the player doesn't get the population refund (and it took me around three seconds to guess why...). That can get a bit problematic if the war becomes attritive.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
