and I really, really enjoy the details, watching my line fire upclose, zooming into melee here and there etc, etc.
Therefore I have doubts that raising the unit scale to 40 is a good idea. It is more realistic, ok, but also I think it's unneeded and more confusing. Other equally realistic things like the tross (baggage train ?) of armys is never depicted. Nobody ever thinks about treating the wounded, there are no servants or women running on the field to get the incapicitated out of danger, nobody gives water to the fighters and so on. Of course: It's not really needed and would be really hard to make, but it would make the game more realistic. Much more than increased numbers in my opinion. but increasing numbers is really easy to do and the players have to bear the consequences. Īctually they already allowed 40 units in Shogun 2 and it worked quite well even if it could get quite hard to control sometimes. Increasing the amounts of units past 40 would be insanity to control with the current systems but 40 still seemed to be somewhat controllable. The key at that point is to keep clear formations so that you dont get confused about what is going on with your units. I hope they dont make cities too complicated so that you can move large batches of units with relative ease there. I think the benefit of having 40 unit cards each plays a huge part for "quality over quantity" or vies versa. Correct me if I'm wrong, it's currently 14 slots isn't it from previous titles? Anyway, those 14 slots I find are just too **** precious, because a faction that focuses on cheap units actually suffers as a result.
You can never quite make an effective quantity over quality army as you never quite have enough slots to make it worthwhile. Having 40 slots would lead to some very interesting battles indeed. For example Romans with 10,000 well trained expensive units, viruses 15 maybe 20 thousand cheap Gaul units. You might even be able to afford to split your army into two or send a small group to take foot on a hill which leaves two options for your opponent.
