Civ Units: How many privates per unit? - YOUR opinion!

[Comrade Dan]

This thread will concern largely the Civ 2 units. The question is: How many privates (individual soldiers) are there in a unit?

Of course the amount of soldiers will change with different units - for instance, one Battleship unit will equal one Battleship, but what about Triremes? For all that production, one trireme from that unit seems to be a bit of a rip-off...but to get more than one Carrier or AEGIS Cruiser or Battleship for 160 shiels seems too good a deal.

Same goes with land units - does the amount of soldiers change from your Phalanx to Mech. Inf.?

And for starters - how many planes in a Fighter or Bomber unit?

[Dookie]

Ill answer your question Comrade Dan because I think I know the answer.

It depends totally on the scale of the game, doesn't it?
If you're playing a scenario where the entire map is of texas, the scale is much smaller than if on the world map. So, you would have to define it from a certain scale, and then gradate it up or down.

[Comrade Dan]

ok then. How about Large World map?

[Victor Galis]

IIRC legions had 6,000 in them.

[John-SJ]

Unfortunately, AFAIK map scale is not taken into account by Civ. But since the turns are long (min. 1 year for a non-scenario) I'd say the units must be large, say a division each, or a legion in ancient combat.

A division may be too large, but it's certainly larger than a squad, can you imagine an entire nation only able to support 30-40 squads of riflemen? Maybe units are as small as a platoon, but I'll still vote for division.
