Troop count / unit size
What's the logic behind the vast difference in troop counts (Large unit size for reference):
- 180, 165, 150, 135, 120 for spear/melee infantry
- 150, 135, 120 for ranged infantry
- only 90 for cav.

This give number superiority for some low tier troops that really helps against higher tier ones with lower troop count.

Why not go the DEI format (max unit size for reference):
- 200 for proffesionals, 256 (phalanx), 300 for irregulars
- 175 for ranged
- 120 for light, 100 for heavy cav
- with specific exceptions (double sized macedon general's bodyguard, 200 for persian archers, etc.)

A smaller format should better emphasize the difference between troop quality in the same class in equal numbers, no?

At first - Attila accepts max 120 men per boat, so you can't transport more than 240 in fact (on double boats, which often create units stuck) and that is why max number is 240.
At second - numbers refer exactly to balance and actual numbers just suit well, one of the focus was to make weaker units a bit sustainable vs. heavier.
The numbers on lower options are scaled from max, if you want to avoid irregular numbers use max unit option.

Absolutely, this is the only con of this mod, units size lack sense in my opinion, I would be grateful if someone released a submod with 240 for infantry, 180 for ranged and 120 for cavalry.
