Hey I'm glad you're back! I've just been watching your videos as I've been preparing to cover RTW on my channel and your channel has been a great source of information to help me get caught up 👍 And seeing you come back and start making videos again has been a real treat! Now regarding this topic, this is something that is really interesting to me because unit size greatly effects the gameplay in both STW and MTW (both games that I've covered extensively on my channel). Even without having a population mechanic it's far more preferable to play these games on the default unit size because the unit cost increases and the economy doesn't scale to match and on the largest unit size even basic units will take two turns to train! Almost as important to me as is the playability from the players perspective is also the playability from the A.I.'s perspective. Playing on the default unit size made the A.I. more capable at building armies and teching up because it usually wasn't capable of establishing a formidable economy that's capable of keeping up on the larger units sizes. And now you have me wondering, have you experienced the A.I. as being more capable of providing a challenge or even to recover from a devastating loss on the smaller units sizes in Rome? Have you noticed the A.I. better being able to tech up and reach higher settlement levels on lower unit sizes? I prefer to play slower campaigns that allow the A.I. (to some degree) to build up and have access to more troop variety. I've only played Rome so far on the Huge unit size, I really like being able to manage population easier but if playing on normal unit size provides the A.I. with a bit on an edge then I might consider switching it up. On that note, imma jump into a campaign right now and test this out but I'd still be curious to hear your thoughts on this! Cheers! 🙏

It would also be interesting to see how squad size affects cavalry charge
