Description:

It would be nice if the warfare could be improved and more interesting. The most annoying for me is to have different kind of troops but not the ability to use all of them in my army at once. Therefor i suggest following changes.

Suggestion:

1. Make it possible to recruit several kind of units even if they are from the same type.
For e.g You can recruit Line Infantry & Grenzer Infantry into one and the same army. This will give much more variation to army's.

2. Add more Troops to pick, which will have different strengths, weaknesses and costs. For e.g: Elite Assault infantry which has better pipes but also higher costs. Or on the other hand militia which is very cheap in costs and pipes.

3. Add at least one culture specific troop unit for each culture, so that each culture (Or culture group) has it very own kind of troop to pick. for e.g: the Hungarians could get the "huszár of the black Army" as culture specific unit. Which should be an better cavalry unit with more shock and moral pipes, but also with more initial recruit costs.

4. You can switch of the maintenance for single army's, like you can do with the fleets.

Benefits:

Though this changes, deployment and warfare will get into an new lv of strategy... You can have different Armys for different tasks.... for e.g a defensive army, offensive army, elite army, cheap army ... army just for crashing some stupid rebels... etc.

I think the main point of having different troops is to make it so certain general stats are not strictly better than others, so if you have an idea that gives +1 shock/fire on generals you can make better use of it.

1: I kinda agree, but i don't really know if this would be too complicated.

2: I must dissagree, the rich countries would be wayyy to strong compared to the weaker.

3: I do like this, maybe the "Longbow man" should only be available for the English, and not for other countries, they kinda have the same thing in CK2 with the "Retinues" maybe not all contries should have it, but the countries with the most infinfluential soliders, English longbow men, Russian Cossacks, etc, and only in that time frame they had them in, so english longbow men, not would be fighting in 1821.

4: YES, this has been sugessted before and I can't do anything else, but agree with you!

1. I agree with you, this opens up to have dedicated attacking Armies and Defending armies. But this should be hold simple and AI friendly.
2. I like this idea, BUT I dont think this can be balanced properly. Nation which focusing on money could still have a stronger Armies then other nations.
3. This is a nice touch for Countries which have a nice historical Units. I like it.
4. I think this is a must have!

2. why would this make the even richer country op? Maybe we could also rise and lower costs of force limit the troops use.

Because of having an army full of elite troops. if they cost extra force-limit too though...
