Fewer Armies
Makes base upkeep of all units (gold/mana) 50% higher, and adds a scaling upkeep deficit as the game goes longer that should end up as another ~50% by the late-late game (+100% more by the end in total)
This mod pairs well with my other mod, Nerfed Upkeep Bonuses, which nerfs upkeep bonuses (eg on Inspiring Leader), to shrink the gap between early and late game army numbers even more:

Unit enchantment upkeeps have also increased by a large amount between 50% and 100%.
T1, 8 -> 12
T2, 12 -> 18
T3, 20 -> 30
T4, 30 -> 50
T5, 60 -> 90
The costs apply to EVERYONE.
AI bonuses to draft and upkeep have been nerfed for each difficulty, if it’s too easy for you, add combat advantage in your worlds.
There is a handicap of a few percentages added as the game goes on, bringing late and early game a bit closer in army nubmers as well.
