Mass Combat: Building Armies


Advice


Lots of questions, and I am probably not the only one. So lets's have a thread:

Here is one thing I can't get my head around, and that potentially might actually require some extensive playtesting.

Assuming I have 1000 zombies and I want to turn them into an army. I can make them into one gargantuan unit of 1000 soldiers, two huge units of 500 soldiers, five large units of 200 soldiers, ten medium units of 100 soldiers, and so on.

Under what circumstances is which option the better choice?
A larger unit has better attack and defense values, but can only attack once per turn. Two smaller units might be more vulnerable and have a harder time dealing damage, but they can each attack during the same turn.

Does anyone have any additional insight into this?
