unit size

what are you thinking about rising unit size (240 unit for infantry and 80-100 for cavalry, for general guard 30-60 unit....) ? I think huge size of units, should be rising, battles will be more grand and beautiful, as in cinema blockbuster.

Agreed. Unless I am given the ability to divide my units into sub-units mid-game or mid-battle, I am against increase in unit size.

Also:

6: Manouvering these huge units will be a problem for players that rely on mobility as a strategy.

What Tadz suggested is expending maximum limits. If one still prefers to play with lower limits due to listed constraints, it will still be able to.

@Tadz, those may be possible after porting to Kingdoms.

ah, ok

how can I increase in to the script unit sizes myself ?

Today, you would have to go to EDU and change unit size parameter, but since most units are ‘peaked’ already, you may only be able to do it for cav only. Be aware that by increasing unit size, you will impact the combat balance in the field.

Yes, combat balance will be affected by unit size. So...can we have a new unit in BC with:

No. of soldiers = 1
Defence = 100
Attack = 50

And call this unit a Jinn (Genie for those not familiar with the term). And make it invisible. Permanently.

Not exactly "things".

Since you were incorrect, I win by default.
