My Troy Overhaul for newest update 1.5.1

in General Discussion
About 7 months ago, I stopped modding because my mother all of a sudden went to a hospital. She was in coma for 15 days, barely lived. Now, months and months later, she recuperated 100% and is now better than ever, so now I decided I will return to modding. I still have college to finish, but I am back. First thing I did is I updated my mod to latest Troy version!

    is it so that Dardanian Mob has 75 models while every heavy unit has 200 models?

    @Eruner_SK I noted in description that light tier units have 75 units, medium have 150 and heavy have 200 units :)

    It is easier to have many (poorly equipped) light infantry than small number of heavy equipped infantry.
    Your overhaul idea is exact opposite. Mob is no longer mob, and elites are no longer rare/exceptional.

    "My King, should we train a small army of elite, well equiped troops, or just draft hordes of peasants and hope for the best?"

    "Well why not make just make it a horde of elite, well armed troops!"

    Makes sense right? Who can't remember that one time 300 persian militias tried to push into Greece, but were held back at the Thermopilae by those 1 million spartans

    No, becuase first you have to find suitable candidates for elite training, then invest quite a lot of time and effort into said training and also equip them with better armor and weapons, all of which will mean you'll end up with less elites than mobs and regulars.

    So no, your scheme makes no sense.

    And the Persians pushed through in your example because they had the numbers to pressure the pass from different sides while the Greeks didn't have enough men to cover all approaches.

    Well, yes, exactly, I was being sarcastic...

    Everywhere you look, in war-themed board games or strategy video games, there's always a point where the player has to make a choice between more troops, or better troops. There's always a fine balance between those two choices. The Mod we are discussing here, takes that choice of balance away, because in the mod, light infantry (i.e. cheap troops, like Dardanian Rabble) have 75 men per unit, while heavy infantry (expensive, elite armored units) have 200 men per unit...

    So you agree with me, right? That it should be the other way around.
