does anybody use the standards (troops) some nation get? They range from around 5 to 12 for the hornblowers if I remember. Or are they mostly useless? I think they could be worth it early on but am not sure.
Something seems out of whack with your example though. A standard 50 would be 50 squares or roughly 7x7. That's not 7 squares from the standard, it's centered on the standard. So roughly 3 squares from the standard.
Hah, good point! Maths, its damn hard, I'll tell you that
