You can still form corps and armies (i.e. stacks of up to three of one type of unit). I don't think combat "realism" is something Civ strives for, you might be better suited playing Total War if you want to micro-manage battles and the composition of your forces (which is tonnes of fun and I enjoy). But on the topic of realism, it's not exactly realistic for an area to hold an arbitrary number of troops. No hate to Civ IV though. Baba Yetu.

>> it's not exactly realistic for an area to hold an arbitrary number of troops I don't expect it to be a war simulation but it should at least be somewhat grounded in reality. On D-Day the allies used 7,000 ships to land 130,000 on 5 beaches in a day. 850,000 troops and 150,000 vehicles within a few weeks. If they had more ships and troops to send, they would have used those too. I don't know what the upper limit would have been, but even the US, which was producing as much war material as the rest of the world combined, was not capable of producing troops or equipment that wouldn't fit on the battlefield. So, yeah I will stick with IV for now :) Will definitely try out VII when it comes out though, can't wait.
