To the Total Realism team.
One of the worst parts of the game is the war.
I mean the huge numbers of troops. I don't really know, if there is a way to reduce these number in the way I want, but it is really necessary.
If we will take an emperor difficulty game, and play in the modern era, soon the PC will have an amont of troops equal to the population. Which is offcourse stupid, and takes the fun out of the game. All the game is just made from producing more and more troops.
There must be some limit, I talked about it before. But a limitation mast be made. The first 4-5 units for a sity of size 10- free. the 4-5 next- 2 gold. the 4-5 next- 5 gold. the 4-5 next- 20. I mean, that the support money must be calculated differently.
The draft- Must be the real sourse for units during a war. And I'm talking about producing such units( the drafted), like a settler in the previous civ's, while you draft the unit, the sity size decrease, and in the end of the war, you can make the unit to join the sity again. It will make the game much more intresting and realistic!
Also- the war wearness- I really don't like it, the way it works!
Let's take Rome, Or Hitler Germany, or the Mongols, or any other aggresive country. The war was an important part! The war made the people happy! The more sityies you conquer, the more the people like you! There must be happy faces from war! At least, while you are winning! And in the beggining of the war, war enthusiasm! Extra happy faces! If the war is a sucsess, the sityes must have a productive boom, and an uncrease in commerce!
While in civ, war is always a bad factor- and that is a mistake, a crucial one!
