patch 2.14 increase in micromanagement

This is an excellent fix. Clams and fever fetishes are already strong enough anyway. It never made sense to me that they could stack and other identical artifacts could not.

Curious : How many leaders can you have at maximum ?
It is a nice fix but the increase is not that big : 20 gold + 4/3 upkeep / turn more for clams and 3 death gems more for fever fetishes .

So i ask now is there a leaderlimit at e.g. 1000 leaders ?
I think in newbiegame 1 when i and aku played until turn 110 i had about 500-600 leaders as ermor when we finally decided it was a draw

A map featuring *all* units as commanders reached 1,020 leaders (if memory serves), so if there is indeed a leader limit, it is likely higher than that. The next "magic" figure is 65536, but there might be a hardcoded limit to save the game from collapsing because of all these leaders everywhere.

Oh yeah Alneyan .
But perhaps it is because those units are included in the mapfile .
I am just curious because when i waited for dominions 2 ( i had to wait about 10 days until it shipped ) i played the dominion 1 demo and there as ermor after about 300-500 leaders i couldn't summon anymore ( as newbie i summoned hordes of priests for reanimate there lol ) .

This is the case why i think there is still a limit at something like 1000-2000 in dominions 2 .
Ok once you have 500 clams the game is surely already finished though

Well, I will keep on testing as soon as I get in the mood required for mindless clicking, but for now I reached more or less 500 leaders without problem. Actually counting them is another matter though.

However, you can have a *mere* one hundred leaders per province; the others do not seem to appear in either the army setup or in actual battle. I fought against some random knights twice, at turn 60 and at turn 125, and I only had one hundred commanders in both battles, although I have been summoning six Censors per turn. The same goes true for Army Setup. Granted, you do not really need more than one hundred leaders, but it certainly makes for an impressive army.

Yeah i am in the modest hope to perhaps reach this dimensions in my Faerun game Alneyan .
Thats another thing i enjoy particularly with dominions . I am always a fan of huge numbers + epic battles and dominions seems to be quite infinite here .
Because of that i was such a big fan of empire earth in the RTS sector and look forward to battle for middleearth .
Most games supply and maintenance and unit limits are rather low so you reach your limits too quick there often
