Small Group Sizes

[Lord Moontree.]

Certain game effects place very strict limits on group size. For example, Set Ambush (#730) only works on groups up to 5 brigades. Similarly, the Red Bats and Rocs can only fly groups of size 5 around.

It seems to me that these game effects are not very worthwhile at these sizes. For example, even if I sucessfully ambush an opponent with my 5 brigades, they are likley to have a much larger army (15-25 for example), and my group would still likely lose the combat.

What if these sizes were increased to, for example, 10? Would that throw off game balance?

I can agree with this. In the old days, it was rare to get a group to army group size. Now that is a common thing.

The current system is 2 (brigade) - 5 (division) - 10 (army). I can see this easily being changed to a 3-6-12 system to make each step a bit more powerful. Even 5-10-15 might be a good change.
