Hard cap on max units ???????????????

[HexaGun81]

I pick a nation and start game. I want to go to war early against King/Emperor AI.

i'M CAPPED AT 3 UNIT MAX. Not a soft cap here... A HARD CAP.

My question is : why has this game more than 25% positive reviews ?

You can create 3 battalions with 3 units each giving you a total of 9 units to attack with early on.

go and play Total War/AoE/Civ....the world is full of games with higher (or non existent) hard cap on units....

why you rant here about a clearly nonexistent issue with the game?

maybe ask in wishlist for more ways to increase early cap, even if it's just for some leaders.

i found myself hitting cap in early eras pretty regularly, as a mostly docile player i didn't really mind. forced me to build stronger formations. quality over quantity :D

Because there are enough positive reviews entered that push the score higher then 25%.

The game really isn’t based on war or at least focused. Thats my opinion anyway. They really want you to focus on building a great prosperous nation. War is a bad look most of the time.

However, I am with you. I want massive armies and to conquer the world. But that is not this game.

Lol... 40+ leaders to pick from, but hey, you have to specifically pick Xerxes if you want ONE more military unit (early on)..

Also this feature makes absolutely no sense historically.

this isnt a history lecture lol.. the xerk strat works.. the game is hard if you play it on hard.. and it pisses me off when prince players try to make changes.. play hard or shut up.. not you.. just the other fanboys.. its a well thought out game.. i dont want it to be distilled in to a civ game .. cheers

I'm no Prince player, I beat King twice in a row and then tried Emperor, but immediately stopped playing once I realized "earliest rush" is strictly linear (can only make spearmen, can only train 3, irrelevant diplomacy, irrelevant starting resources (for military action), etc).
But the force cap is the worst, it makes no sense in too many ways.
Also, I'm tired of crafting ropes lol
