Unit size question

[Starforge]

Starforge - I thought I read something on these forums to the effect that population dumps like that are frowned on in EB. Not appropriate to the period, etc. If they wanted us to do that, they'd have given us peasants!

Point taken. Some mods actually encourage it with "settler" style units (Fourth Age TW for example). I play on normal now in all the games because I personally like the balance and most mods don't add in pop to replace recruits.

I liked the epic battles on Huge but have gotten used to running it on Normal.

I say huge, which I always play on. It's the closest to reality, and it is far harder for the AI to do all sorts of fancy formations with huge size on. No more AI central phalanxes breaking up and before you know it, outflanking you. At least they're so large that they're unwieldy enough that the battle slows down like in antiquity. Not to mention your lines become longer so an outflanking is not such a fatal thing like if it was on huge scale.

Also, I find the sight of 120 slinger bullets flying through the sky that much more gratifying than just 60. :)

Of course, the point about things being unwieldy apply to you too, but what the hey, you're the human player. You're -supposed- to be challenged.
