Willem - I'm a little puzzled about your 10 unit Armies. What good is having 10 Swordsmen all in one unit?
It would be near unkillable, that is good ...
But the obvious problem is the same one as with normal 3 unit armies: you can only attack once per turn with it. Aren't you sacrificing LOTS of offensive power by making those units only able to attack once? Doesn't it do far more harm than good?
Or do you only use this for defensive units like Riflemen?
Just asking, not criticizing ... how does it work? Since it is already possible, that is a HUGE advantage, but I just don't see why I would want to do such a thing.
On a semi related note, here is a small idea of mine.
I would LOVE to be able to put Bombard units in groups and be able to tell them all to fire, rather than firing my 30 Artillery units individually. Yes, group firing might result in wasted shots (by firing more than is needed) but that is kind of realistic in a pleasing way. Like automated Workers, I think it would be worth the efficiency loss for less tedium in firing and moving.
So it would be really cool if you could put 10 Artillery in an Army and have a "Barrage" command ... it would require new code, but maybe not LOTS of hard code, I hope. Just an idea.
Anyone like this Barrage idea?
