Joining units

[Macroz]

So to reduce the number of less powerful units players need to move around and manage, it has been proposed that units could be joined together creating one larger unit.

Points about this so far:
</font>

• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Only same type of units can be joined? (to keep it simple)
  </font></li>
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If the health is replaced by the more reasonable (IMHO) number of men -attribute then it is logical that joining units only increases the number of men in the resulting unit. Also the number of men in a perfectly healty unit must increase accordingly.
  </font></li>
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Perhaps there is a maximum size for a joined unit too. 10000 men or a legion seems plausible for most units.
  </font></li>
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If made more complex, some attributes of the joined unit could increase but these to me relate to the morale bonus of having a lot of buddies.
  </font></li>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Any comments on this? Sounds reasonable? Reduces the amounts of stacks too?
