Feature request - different group sizes
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 9:12 pm
Hi
I have noticed that the battlegroup is 'standard' size. I mean, heavy infantry group is always 'same size' compared to other heavy infantry, medium is same size compared to other medium and so on.
Now if I have for example a battle where heavy infantry is fighting in units of 1000 to 1500 men and I would like to add a heavy infantry unit of 600 men, it would be as effective as a unit of 1000 or 1500. (even if I put 1 million men to same group, the group does not get any more effective, it just gets a horrible amount of casualties!!!)
I realise that I should make all battles fit for roughly same size of building blocks, for example make all heavy infantry about 1000 to 1500 men, (and skirmishers 500, medium 1000).
This is not so bad, I can live it but it still bothers me.
If I make a legion with roman standard groups of 1200 hastati, 1200 principe and 600 triarii, I will get 3 groups of heavy infantry, which are all of the same size (number of men is cosmetic add on).
and here is the requested feature:
What I would like to do with case like this, I would like to adjust the 600 strong triari in scenario editor, so that it would take double damage (damage is calculated in percentages compared to 100%) because it has only about half the normal number of men in heavy infantry group.
