Revamped Pentegon to make Armies more realistic and useful. Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Basically keep armies the way they are. Redo the Pentegon to where it allows you add and remove units from armies while the armies are in the city with the Pentegon.

Now you can pull units out in that specific city, reorganize your armies, and the Pentegon is a MUCH more useful Wonder.

Even just having the Pentagon allow units in armies to upgrade would be an improvement. Allowing unloading would be really boss.

Tired of ads?

Well its logical. What is the entire purpose of the Pentegon? To allow a centralized command to coordinate strategy and consolidate military functions.

In real life it would be difficult to do a mass reorganization of an Army Group in the field, but to bring it back to the Central Command and reorganize it there makes sense.

No way. This makes armies WAY too powerful. Armies are already powerful enough; they don't need any more help.

Pentagon already provides a nice boost to armies - combined with the Mil. Academy, it DOUBLES the A/D values of the units inside it.

Do you plan on removing the Xmas hats from your avatar anytime soon?

It provides a purpose for old armies other than disbandonment for big builds. There are some games when armies are very scarce.

If you have one army, you can build more by at the latest the end of the Medieval Era. Any army build during that time will still be reasonably effective until you can make more armies. Being able to switch units out makes armies too powerful. The Pentagon ALREADY allows something like this - you can add a fourth, and so keep the army useful longer.
