Starting army sizes
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2020 1:32 am
I have started a new game for a new month. We are doing a round of NO LASER NOVEMBER.
regardless of that I started the game on the easiest difficulty to ensure that all players would have metal and distance to expand.
A thing I noticed though is that I started with a full corps + regimental sized artillery + 2 battalions
Tech 4, 1 army per zone, 3 zones.
Everyone else has three battalions. I therefore have a significant early military advantage
We have a question on what mechanic caused this. Did I get luck of the draw? was it caused by me setting the difficulty low? if so why did nobody else get a corps? I do have just over 200k total pop in my empire. is it driven by pops?
