    your unit size wasn't set on the largest setting.

    I think you must convert the format first...

    ...

    1000 men in a unit?!? How long does it take to train them and how long it takes to resupply them?

    Recruiting them reduces the population of the region substancially or just 300?

    If I remember correctly, it doesn't take that many turns to recruit them. They are, essentially, peasants and former slaves drafted by government propaganda. Of course, while their morale is really high (and their melee capabilities anything but average), they have a very limited store of munitions, as well as a general lack of shooting skills.

    They are worse than ANY ANY ANY unit you have EVEr seen in ranged combat, but have 99 (yes 99) morale and average melee skills. Too bad they usually don't get to pwn in melee... They only take 1 turn to recruit and they're cheap, btw, but you must become Republic as Russia to have them

    And while the MGs attack them, the other infantry in the army can engage targets without being bothered by MGs. The patriots are useful at absorbing enemy firepower...

    Entirely unintentional, in fact, although I am not certain if it is for the better, or the worse.

    Nahh Douglas Haig was more like "just keep sending them up the middle and the enemy will eventually break".

    The Legion of the Martyrs?

    Anyway that answers a question: How high can morale go? answer: at least 99.

    Wow, 1000 men in a single unit. That is the biggest single unit size in all of the TW games. And how much would such unit cost and how expensive is the upkeep?

    As I said before, cheap and effective. But by making a revolution as Russia you lose other good units, so it's balanced
