Noob question : How to play 4turns a year with huge armies?

[Philip of Massalia]

Lurking in AAR's I noticed some use a 4 turn a year system, and play with units 4 times bigger then mine.

How do you achieve that? I looked here and there on the forum but did not find the answer, maybe I did not enter the good words in the search case...

4 turns per year comes from activating the EB background script. Click a settlement and listen to the advisor.

Unit size is set in the options in the main menu, before you start a game (think it's under graphics settings). You must start a new game after changing it.

Thanks a lot for the info, here's a gift :

I'll have probelm if I have to listen the advisor. I can read english but I usually do not understand a word of spoken english. My teacher had a terrible southern french accent and I understand only other southern Frenchmen when they speak english no kidding ! (and I'm not hearing very well anyway...)

May someone tell me here what I have to do?

Err... The advisor talks to you in text. He says you should click the "Show me how"-button.

I play only with large units (my computer isn't tough enough for huge ), but the big difference in terms of strategy is that larger units deplete your cities' populations more, so you have to take more care not to build too many. Tactically, larger units are more unwieldy but better able to hold a battle line. I prefer larger units for this reason.
