raise upkeep

[radu_g83]

hi..can anybody tell me what to expect from the Ai if i double, or even triple the upkeep of every unit ?? besides the fact that there's going to be fewer full stacks on the map...and fewer and more decisive battles...

will this unbalance the game ??...i mean, i know how to use this to my advantage, but what about the Ai?..will it know how to deal with such costly armies ?

edit: or leave the upkeep as it is and double or triple the recruitment cost of every unit....all i want is for the battles to be more decisive....i don't like to see armies all over the map...it's just not that realistical..

I dunno wether the ai can handle it or not but if not you could also go for the recruitement time and make it longer.
Maybe that would be easier for the ai to handle since the units just take longer to spawn but everything else
would theoretically be the same for the ai.

spend less. train yourself to be a better tactitian on the batlefield so you can win battles with a small amount of troops, then you wont be spending

Yes

Actually by raising costs AI thinks it's weaker and becomes slightly more reasonable in diplomacy...

Then i think the longering recruitement phase would be worth a try.

Or is this maybe hardcoded?
