Hi Bigdog,
Well, thanks for the reaction, like I stated earlier, I understand your reasons, internet connection, PC specs from players, balancing, ... therefore I never asked nor will ever do to increase it into the thousands, but giving the opportunity to have a max from 1000 isn't asking that much, certainly not when people would have the chance to determine there own poplimit, 200/350/500/800/1000 for example.
Also, I don't really understand why you guys are talking about the balance problem, for instance, if you guys after serious trials/errors and tremendous testing figured out that the comparising between pikeman/elephants would be 25/1, then I don't see a problem in having a comparising for these with like 250/10.
It'll probably is a little bit more complicated then I'm thinking, but in the end, isn't this what it's all about Also, some say, well, go and play this or that game, you'll have the amount of troops you want with that game.
Sorry guys, but it's because AOEIII looks so amazing and beautifull, looks as it's going to have some really new items that have never ever been implemented into a game, THAT's why I'm asking (sorry, no begging) ES to increase the amount towards a higher realistic amount of troops, so, not only skirmishes can be fought, but also real battles Anyway, I'm certain that you guys will do your outmost best to satisfy everyone who's interested in this game and I will wait patiently untill you guys finish the game and I'm sure you'll decide at the end wich is the best amount of units.
Thanks for the feedback Bigdog, anyway, can you tell something more about those naval battles now, as we all are very curious about how those are going to be, like, will the big battleships have crews?
Manny thanks for any additional info and keep up the good work
Life is short, live it to the fullest of it's potential!
