[.913 Suggestion] Paid Unit Size Upgrades

Pay a nominal fee to increase your unit size (3 man to 5 man, etc...)

Something that has bugged me since WOM and was hoping to be seeing by now in the Beta for FE is the ability to upgrade unit size. You can upgrade weapons and armor, but not add a few troops to a unit? That Level 10 3-man archer unit that's been traveling with your Sov for 200 seasons loses effectiveness when the enemy is cranking out 7 man units. I don't want to kill off a high level troop just to get a weaker but larger unit.

I want to RECRUIT.

I expect this to be expensive, something along the lines of the same cost you'd pay to rush those 2+ troops + 50 - 100 Gildar for each level they need to be trained up.

There have been 3-6 posts on this subject. But it's a good idea and I don't think there has ever been an official word on the subject.

As someone who plays Altair I find it annoying that my standard units have "potential" +25% exp. A trait made useless by how quickly and often units become underpowered by unit size techs. I become attached to units that do well and its annoying to disband them for such a silly reason.

Also too often do I have reasons not to build troops. Leather tech soon? Have to be stupid to build new troops now. Logistics? Ditto.
