unit sizes in drop in battles?

Hi all,

Could anyone please confirm that unit sizes are only small if the drop in battle reverts to a quick battle or host has settings on small. In other words if host has on large unit settings the battle would play out on large?

Has anyone noticed how to tell between the drop ins & quick battles by the difference of players names or generals names?

Thanks guys, scottie3.

sorry double post - please remove admin.Thanks

That won't work, cause then the whole gameplay would change, if someone got a specific amount of units and it suddenly changes that will change the whole battle

yes thats what I was thinking but some people have stated that all these battles seem to be on small settings. CA have stated on their official forums that drop in battles revert to quick battles if there are no campaign opponents. Quick battles are all on small settings & I was hoping that was where the confusion lay.

I'm sure what they meant was that opponents are chosen randomly if you're not playing MPC with someone else to fight the battles.

They should really give you an option if you want to revert to a quick battle. I would just rather get a message saying no drop in battles are available.

I played a 'drop in' but I believe that it reverted to a quick battle, and indeed all units were small. Kind of ridiculous in my opinion.

all quick battles are on small settings same as Empires. Question is, if you are able to actually drop in to someones campaign , are the unit sizes what the host has set or are they also automatically reduced to small?

Hopefully, the unit sizes are determined on the performance of your pc. Too large unit sizes would slow down the game for certain systems.
