Last night I was in the middle of Yet Another Russian Expansionary campaign, when I noticed something pretty odd.
Situation: Assaulting a minimal fortress with 5000 infantry defending, probably tech level 0, 1, or 2.
First method: Attack with an army of 70,000 infantry, of tech level 1. Succeeds around half the time or so.
Second method: Attack with an army of 20,000 infantry, of tech level 1. Succeeds <b>virtually</b> every time.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is there some undocumented 'command power' point, such as, say, movement value * 10,000 men, beyond which leaders can't effectively command an army? If so, can you get around it by having multiple armies at the cap? Is anyone even listening? I'm cold, and there's wolves after me.
