Crazy idea about unit prices

[russia almighty]

Pharnakes what would happen if you made militia units like 99999 each for cost and made elites and such 0 for the initial cost?

There is a hardcoded cap on costs (something like 17000) and the AI will continue to buy those unit even with the crazy cost.

Nope....

1-)Soldiers cost time and money to train, equip, and organize, even levies. You need to go out find men, give them the news, in a few days they have to get report back. Then u gotta group them, assing a commanding officer, deal with logistics and stuff they carry, etc. Everyone took time to get ready for combat, some more than others.

2-)The AI would spam you with troops in the 1st few turns, $ scripts and populations refilling at work. Also, the AI would then have $0 to make any buidings. However, it will outnumber you, and when u kill a stack you free up $$ for another stack that same turn. No good
