sometimes it's hard to understand how many troops you have, because supply units are included in stack. also, its weird, when regiment of women is 750 men in stack

but in times of russian civil war there were no any "men" or "horses". it were "shtyki" ("bayonets" - infantry), "sabli" ("sabres" - cavalry (and officers sometimes)) and "orudiya" ("cannons").
so, i think it should look like this

it's more convinient imho, and more historically accurate.
PS sorry for my english
PPS image just edited, there are no changes in game!

Good idea about these old military words, for the historical mood of the game.
But I think these words are hard-coded, so it could not be a fan mod, it should need the Ageod devs to modding their AGE engine.
The tutorial too must then be slighltly modified accordingly (it's easy), to explain to the newbs.

For now men = actual men, and horses = horses actually used
So, not so good idea finally, for the numbers:
'sabers' = horses, is only okay for in AGE, it seems horses can't be more than men; but
'bayonets' = men minus horses
In RUS, men does not mean infantry: it is total of all men, including those in cavalry.

And, about texts, once numbers are ok, it should be easy to mod, as it seems in _RUS file, not _AGE one or engine.

ERISS, thats why i dont like it. i dont know how many infantry i have in stack, there only "men". so, thats why i think "'bayonets' = men minus horses" "is more convinient imho"
i really dont know why ageod divide cavalry to "men" and "horses", but its weird
