Re: Soldiers are people
I'm glad to hear this works, as I'm planning on using it to simulate feudalism in my 1050CE mod.
Another historical note -- in WWI, the German Army did its best to let its soldiers have leaves at home under almost all circumstances. The French did not. The net result -- a generation later -- was that Germany's population of young men of conscription age was greater than France's could have been ...

I used the editor to decrease the population by one for soldier units. It worked! The game was much more realistic. The games was not much affected. I have to admit, I rarely play modern eras, and the effects of this change on late game is unknown. Anyway, anything that limits the number of units on the map is appreciated (I hate to have to control 300 units!)
By the way: Immagine the million of soldiers who died in WWII in Europe or the hundreds of thousands killed by Alexander the Great. These destroyed armys affected population growth (directly through death or indirectly through widows with no more children). Therefore decreasing the population by 1 when building a soldier unit increases the realism!
Try it and tell me what you think.
