600, 800 or 1500 units, it wont make a huge difference. Basically most of the units are cannon fodders, or we aint using them at all strategically.
Of course, I'd like for national units being made more feabile to use. Most of us probably want to. But even if only two or three of every nation's units were ever used, the quality of those troops differs between nations. Cannon fodder has many layers of power. Have you ever seen a Wyrm or a Great Mother mowed down by Knights, or by Glaive-wielding Tien Chi medium infantry backed by archers?

Provincial defense is the only true cannon fodder in the game, because it can be lost many times for the same cost. However, it is also an efficient defense for some nations, at least against minor stealth attacks. And this isn't only Jotunheim, human nations like Ulm or Marignon aren't bad either!
