Para Bellum submod - Historical Unit Size

Description
It angers me that despite the fantastic unit models total war presents they actually didn't consider making the arrangement of them a bit more historical realistic------i feel weird whenever i saw roman soldiers fighting in huge detachments.
This mod aims to change that, but before you use this mod remember to edit your army size to 80 like this :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKm16JaG2Os.
The mod mainly changes land unit sizes and costs.

Infantry-->80
archers-->55
cavalry-->30
elephants & chariots-->1
lower tier infantry-->90
mob-->100

Note that some special units, like Roman eagle cohorts/first cohorts have double strength and are 160 men strong.

According to historical documents, a standard imperial legion consists of one eagle cohort(5x160 men) and nine cohorts(6X80men), along with 55 Ballistas.

Hi, all your parabellum mods must be above all my mods?

I tried to simulate the roman auxiliary system, you know, stuffs like alaes. Basically i put all my legionaries in one army and most of my cavalries in other armies, aka Alaes, and my missile troops in even other armys, aka Cohors [Missile troop name]. The original idea was to scatter these auxiliary units in different frontier provinces and when a legion needs to march out to face the enemy nearby auxiliary armies will be mustered and join the legion in battle as reinforcements .But later it turned out that there seems to be a cap on the total number of units on the battlefield and, as a result the reinforcing auxiliary armies just won't get any chance to enter the battlefield unless your legion has lost too many units.

Technically, a legion would also have a roughly equal number of auxiliaries, so a full strength legion would be between 8,000 and 11,000 men. Full strength legions were rare though. Regardless, although it is more historically accurate it is much less pleasing to look out, less "cool'.
