How many units under one single commander?

[unmerged(16856)]

Haven't been able to find this anywhere in the manuel.

How many units can one commander command, without receiving a penalty?

 

[Peter Ebbesen]

\infty

 

[unmerged(16856)]

but there is a stack penalty icon on the reference sheet!?

 

[unmerged(16856)]

anyone?

is there a limit or is it yet (another) typo in a typical paradox manual?

 

[unmerged(20981)]

i would also like to know this, god only knows how many times i got penalties for forming a giant army and having no field marshels.

What the Conqueror said.

The Conqueror said

/infty

Does that mean infinity? Or is it some foreign language?

I'ts danish for heaps

 

[unmerged(17791)]

Yes, as I understand it - the Field Marshals can command heaps, Generals can command slews, Lt. Gen. = lots, Mj. Gen. = piles, Brigadier Gen. = dozens. Colonels can only command a few. Captains, some. Etc. This is precise in-game technical talk. Sorry for being so exact.

No it's not, no need to be sorry

- There is now a minimum cap on efficiency, so bigger armies deal some sort of firepower.

If there are no penalties to commanders, why did Johan put this in the list of tweaks for v 1.01?

 

[Derek Pullem]

It means that you can't fight at 1% efficiency a la HoI. There is a limiting value below which efficiency will not fall

But I still haven't seen the overstacking icon in game, even though I have had like 600.000 men under one general!?

That's because there is no overstacking penalty in Victoria.

Or if there is, the threashold must be really large.

i have only see my forces suffer of attrition due to overstacking in enemy territory, nothing more.

Does this mean that you can garrison Gibraltar with 500,000 soldiers without penalty? That should help the UK hold onto the rock.

Sounds to me that large numbers won't have an adverse effect on them in combat, but they will have problems staying alive while waiting for it

[unmerged(16099)]

Oh, so you do suffer attrition when sitting in your own territory?

They only get the extra attrition if the province is actually controlled by an enemy power. Which usually doesn't matter since a large army can occupy a province in 9 days.


So yeah, you can station 500.000 men in Gibraltar. You could also station 10.000.000 men there if you wanted. With no penalties whatsoever.

My bad. Didn't read what Generalisimo wrote properly.
