Actually, this is not precisely correct. At 20 and above, you still get the original 1-19 PD based troops in addition to the 20+ troops. Thus, in the above example, you would have 25 humanbred with the 6 abysian infrantry and 2 warlords at Abysia PD level 25.

Machaka for example, gets 2 malitia per point up through 19 but then a whopping 5 Militia for each point 20 and up. Ulm in particular really gets good, as they get only crossbowmen up to 19 but a heavy infantry plus a crossbowman at 20 and above.

Unfortunately, the commanders/priests/mages do not stack. You never get more than the two you get at 20 (I believe this is true, though I never tested this up to like 40 or so).

This makes each point you go above 20 quite valuable. But expensive, of course.
