Introduce 3 new mechanics:
Troop size, Revanchism and War Exhaustion


Troop size:
Units now take between 1 and 5 troops slots, based on their base cost.
Most basic unit cost 2 slots.
To compensate, the base army have been increased by 5 (For 9 slots at start) and the technologies and traits that increase the amount of troop got doubled.

Some units have also been a bit changed:
Ryder: 1 handed hammer changed into a 2 handed hammer. Gain Charge level 2 and Life Drain 3.
Now got a less useless hammer, and it's charge capacity make him more useful as a true cavalry unit.

Bishop:
Gain Free counter
It need a slight buff, as it is size 4.

Nameless Guard: +1 to it's range.
It need a slight buff, as it is size 4.

All unit/heroes with the standard heal ability
-20% to their damage, but the heal increase to 170% of the damage (for a final heal of 136% of what it was before)
This will make healer better at their role, and worst as offense

Guardian Killer: Gain Urkan Slayer level 2
Logical buff

Rumbler: Align myself with the ELCP: Claw become 2H axe, loose beam, reduce cost (and thus, size).
Rumbler are more a standard soldier, but with axes, best for faction without one.

Drider: Access to the Quarterstaff
They can now also be used as a debuff unit

Vinesnake: Gain Intimidation aura.
Grant them a bit of CC.

Justicere: Gain Healing Halo.
Making them better combat healer.

Tetike: Reduced cost (/2), gain True Sight
You can now field much more of them, and they can explore much easier.

Burdeki: Align myself with the ELCP: Base cost going from 60 to 80, Reduced the base damage by 14
Will be a bit less numerous on the battlefield, nerfing the stun, and became more of a support.


Revanchism:
Loosing a war is frightening. That fear can be channeled to make your population take part of your war at a lower cost.
For each point of population you lose in a war (Either from the lost of a city, lost of a settler or a sacrifice), the BASE cost of your troops will lower by a percentage. ((Lost pop/total pop)*2, down to 50% reduction of the base cost)


War Exhaustion:
The cost of the army got changed a bit.
The base cost is now 0.3 of it's previous cost, then power 1.2, then multiplied by 2, but only if you are not currently at war. (((Xx0.3)^1.2)x(2-[at war])
In less mathematical term, small starting armies will cost a bit less.
Big army, if you are at peace, will cost MUCH more
If you are at war, will will be able to field twice as much unit for the same upkeep.

Also, the BASE cost or your troop will be reduced by 35% if you are at war (multiplicative with Revanchism)

But beware, a nation can only maintain war effort for so long.
For each turn you are at war, all your cities will take 0.5 point of approval penalty (after a 5 turn grace period). That penalty is removed at a 5 point per turn rate.



There is a topic opened to discuss any balance issue.
