Can we have the number of troops displayed in the commander squares on the left hand side?
Actually, numbers would look bad, there isn't really any space left for them (especially on the left), and the information is already at hand:

What if the swords were color-coded? a white sword means you've got 15 or less units in the "sword" while a red sword means that you have within 10 of the maximum units-per-sword? A gold sword means that "sword" is full.

Too complicated IMO. It seems the swords aren't crossed as I thought, though. I think sometime in DomII it was suggested that crossed swords would be between 13 and 25 while a single sword would be under 13. Or perhaps that was in the Dom3 Wishlist thread.
