What actually goes into a levy is culturally determined, and what is given rarely matches the leve 1, level 2 and flank definitions.

E.g., playing as a barbaric country - the t1 is always archers, flank calvary, and tier 2 is chariot - while the levy has the following units: light infantry, heavy infantry, and supply - a complete mismatch.

Is there way to change the default definitions? I tire of always having to edit the t1, t2. and flank. And flank Size of 5 (as default) is generally extreme ) 2 (two), rather than five (5) would look to make more sense - but maybe none of these t1, t2, flank actually affect anything.

Q. Is there any effect? If yes, how much, If no - thx, now I can ignore it.
Q. Can I adopt the default t1,t2,flank preferences?

Thx,
Huzid
