Default Re: 4x Economics

Here's a thought: Why not reduce the number of ships as technology develops? Now, unless I'm miss-remembering, ship battles in the mediteranian in the greek and roman eras often involved up to three hundred ships. Now, the entire US navy, the most powerfull nation in the world, significantly larger than the roman empire, has 280 ships total.

So, my suggestion for tech levels is, less numbers. Less ships, less units, but significantly more powerfull ships and units. First firepower goes up, then speed, then area control.
