What Are The Chances ?

Post by Rugens »

Was curious ask if there is a chance the max number of units and formations may be increased in a future update?

Yeah, I for one would like to see the numbers at least doubled. FitE could surely use the higher numbers.

For that the main problem isn't the size of the map or the number of units, but explaining how the company of irregular colonials in Umtushpishti can instantly react to a British offensive 800 miles away when they don't have access to any form of instant communications.

WW2 Europe at divisional scale, that would be the greatest scenario. Of course, map size needs to increase as well.

I suppose one could impose an Aide-de-camp system by house rule. It would be a very complicated house rule, of course.

You mean modeled as a unit? [X(] It might be possible, but you'd still need some house rules around it.

So, what ARE the chances for increased number of units per force above the current limit of 2000?[&:]
