This has the added advantage that a smaller unit will have a higher CS/man.

If you are afraid of being unable to pay your men, then you just recruited too many. Sack half of them, then train them.

Done, and confirmed: doubling training doubles weekly pay.

This is not true, or at least not universally. If my current cavalry unit has 20 training it costs 50 gold a week to pay. 40 training, 90 gold. With 80 training it's 150.

so it's a 3/4 slope, you did more tests than I did.

... pay formula was a straight forward multiplication thing. basically like what Bedwyr said.

unless it's been changed since i was last given it a few years back... what you said is just not possible.

Well, that's what the military advisor is telling me. I can screenshot it if you like.

Military advisor has a built-in fudge factor which, if I remember correctly, increases the farther away from your current unit stats (that may have been proposed by not implemented).

Granted, I'm attempting to remember a formula that The1exile showed me in 2006, so it may well be either outdated or wrong.

It increases the larger the unit is.

Who's The1exile?  Also, I think Military Advisor was implemented by Tim in Jan. 2011.

The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

i was given the same formula in chat (probably the1exile) well before military advisor existed. heck.. had it on a txt file somewhere. no idea where it is now though

i seriously doubt the formula has changed.

fudge factor or not.. when i tried it (once) this morning.. it gave me the expected result of... double training, double pay.
