You're only as good as the men you lead, and all. Was that how it went?
That brings a quote above in me about the film 300, along the lines of; "a phalanx is only as strong as its weakest elements"

But this is the only unit I currently have with my 4 characters:

Iratus' Peditum
Captain Konrad (+3)
Type:    Infantry
Strength:    1 men
Training:    71 %
Weapons/Armour:    72% / 64%
Damage:   77 %
Morale:   94 %
Cohesion:   68 %
Combat Strength:   24

An unit that doesn't really deserve any fame.  ;)

Royal Guard
Captain Tomas (+2)
Type:    Special Forces
Range:    4 lines
Strength:    30 men
Training:    96 %
Weapons/Armour:    100% / 95%
Damage:   4 %
Morale:   100 %
Cohesion:   100 %
Combat Strength:    994

With no equipment damage the CS is 1005 which translates to 33.5CS per man.

Very interesting. In the wiki is says about 40 cs for SF/Cav is good. But looking at the above, that should be adjusted downward to 30. 40 is clearly not reachable. Unless you want a little pocket squadron lol.

I daresay the above is almost the perfect unit.

The captain could use some improvement, though ;)

CS/man is an awful basis of comparison, as it lowers with the more men you have. The 40CS/man standard is probably for a unit of 10 men. Or of 1...

It's only useful if you have the actual number with it, such as 1337 CS/110 men, then others can compare to see if they have less men for the same CS or more CS for the same amount of men.

Maybe we could calculate that variable in by: total cs x number of men?

That way, high CS units with few men wouldn't have a advantage. And units with a lot of men suffer a CS penalty, so that would straighten things up on the other side...

Too much peace destroyed that in a few days. Went from 96% training to 78%  :'(

Shouldn't we be getting explicit notices in our unit status report telling us about the negative effects we're getting from this?

Too Much Peace decreases training?  :o That makes little sense...

Indirik

Just like anything else: If you don't use a skill, you lose it. So if you want your highly trained troops to stay in tip-top shape, you have to train them. You can do this by either sending them into battle, or by spending the time and gold to explicitly train them. Your choice.

Oh so quotable movie.
