Some people will always complaint, and would complain about this not being representative
remember some complained about the "fact" that 1 cog could hold 1.000 men inside - 2
There are, I think, more elegant ways to distinguish between fleets and armies. For example, you could have a different font/background color for fleet sizes. I'm with the group that doesn't like the 'k', it clutters up the screen and doesn't give me any useful information.

For example, square/rectangular framed flag shield icon in front of the unit count.

It's more tiresome to tell the difference between numbers and letters, than to tell the difference between numbers and a shield.

Yeah, I don't think I really care either way, but the only place where the "k" becomes truly useful is the case where it might get replaced by an "M" or dropped to become "only 150 men"
Not a fan of the k, don't think it adds anything.
I'd put it somewhere pretty far down the list of things I'd like to see done better though. It doesn't sour gameplay the way crashes, trapped armies, or waiting more tends to sour it, rather it barely does anything.

Don't like it because it's clutter that doesn't add any new information and makes it harder to parse army sizes at a glance. Also because change is bad.
Would very much like an option, even I had to mod it myself. Currently the "19" and "k" parts seem to be welded together before they're sent to the moddable interface part.

I actualy dont mind it at all. The part that for me that is de facto better is the decimal point. I dont know why but i love that decimal point showing fraction of troops.

I actually really like this change, especially since they've changed it to a lower-case K.

That was great. Almost woke up my girlfriend I was laughing so hard, and she's in another room.
As for the change, I am still undecided.

The 'k' is redundant is redundant.
There is no reason why we would need the 'k' there, abstraction is good enough. Or else they would actually also have to render 19.000 soldiers on the spot.

1k infantryman = 1.000 infantryman (or men would be more appropriate)... But like the joke with megaman :-D but this only make my point of it´s correct use more valid, since some see it as "a man" and if not having the k would mean having 0.2 of man... now how does that goes? and he regenates!?

I don't mind the change. Actually it were more common for me to read the armies as x K rather than x thousand. But I think the suffix should be modable.

I find the change rather unnecessary, it does not really contribute anything.
