I am trying to write a civ story and I am not sure how units should be represented, as far as numbers of men and equipment. The story takes place in the Napoleonic Era.
I understand this is a game and all of this is theoretical. However, a scale for unit sizes would help me out a lot.
In my scenario I used the rifleman as the standard musket unit. I just thought it fit better based on the techtree.
Anyway, any opinions you have on how I should scale the size of units on a standard map, again, would be of great help.
Rifleman? Should they represent a corps, a division or something smaller, such as a battalion or regiment? The same for lancers, and cavalry.
Artillery? How many guns would a unit represent.
Let me know what you think and thanks.
