lol nah I'm glad for the input:
Well actually the "unit of strength" thing is not going to be used but it will be one of those the more powerful the unit the fewer you will have, for example if you have a dragon that is weak and basically just a "stylized horse" then you can have as many of them as you would have horses.
Now if the other player has a dragon in it's true sense, flight, claws, teeth, bad breath, then he better not use many beacuse they would be ultra rare.
As for ships muahahaha*ahem* it would work the same way as I said different races totally different tech for example this is a Terrenesi dreadnought:
Sovereign Power:
Class: Sentient Dreadnought
Weapons:
1 medium power QDC
6 SPPS generators
315 medium pulse cannons
200 heavy pulse cannons
80 torpedo tubes [all heavy]
1,800 PDTs
18 heavy Phased shard cannons
20 light phased shard cannons
Length: 9.75km
Width: 6.5km
Height: 5 km
Crew: 71,250
Troops: 5,000 [capacity when full: 25,000]
Armor: Ultra Heavy
Shields: Ultra Heavy
Speed: Poor
Maneuverability: Very Poor
Carries
1,500 combat drones
450 fighters
520 dropships
200 breaching pods
20 frigates
8 destroyers
4 Vigilantes
Desc: The Dreadnought is indeed a major power in and of its self, these warships have been known to destroy entire small fleets all by themselves, and in one on one combat the Dreadnought is something not to be taken lightly. These mighty warships carry two entire squadrons of Frigates, and two wings of destroyers, these frigates and destroyers can often form squadrons that are used in deep range strike operations. The Dreadnoughts also carry a flight of Vigilante attack ships, which just increases the deadly power of this mighty warship. Even with all their power the Dreadnoughts usually stay with a full battle group of two or three battle cruisers and dozens of destroyers and frigates. Dreadnoughts are also untraditional ships by most species standards because most of them will be in service for thousands of years and will carry multiple generations on board. There are dreadnoughts in service today that are six thousand years old, and that carry thousands of “children” aboard them, these “children” will most likely serve aboard the same dreadnought as their parents and grandparents until either they are transferred or the ship is killed in battle.
Yeah sounds uber scary and big and bad, but doubtful you'll see more then one in any battle, and since they only operate in battle Groups it would by default be a rather large battle to begin with. Terrenesi seriously lack the "number game" in space and instead go for the brute force in limited package deal.
Other races might go for the larger fleets with weaker individual ships and the like but it's all balanced out in the end by numbers/tech involved
Re: OT: Boardwars Anyone interested?
Perhaps a few basic guidelines on size of forces and empires and such?
