Should there be separate limits for infantry, vehicles and air units?
This might help to create more balanced armies.
I just typed a really long explanation of why this is a bad idea then accidentally clicked on a link on my favorites bar, deleting everything.
I am not typing that again -_-

Yeah but instead of limiting someone to tanks, make it so in some way having a mixed army is better. Like in Rome total war.
There is no need to limit each unit to its own population limit, except for perhaps the odd special unit here and there. This being that any one type of massed unit can easily be countered by using a soft/hard counter against it.
For example, people massing Scorpions. A smart enemy (who has scouted) will build an army composed of soft/hard counters. So, as UNSC, they would use either Gremlins, Hornets, Cobras. As Covenant, they would use either Hunters or Banshees. Any of these alternative soft/hard counters provide a cheaper alternative that is designed specifically to counter a unit type.
Halo Wars counters weren’t quite a perfect system, but it generally worked well enough.
By not having a varied army, you are actually handicapping yourself. A smart enemy will scout you and adapt to defeat your army with a more efficient counter-based attack force. The Rock-Paper-Scissors countering system is pretty standard for RTS’s. No one unit beats everything.
This is why there is usually no need for individual unit populations.
I voted no because if u think about it, your forces could be 2 or 3xs as big as it could be in halo wars 1,so it’d be so stupid
no
sorry thats not a good idea think of it as a game off rock paper scissors that where your balance comes from
Nope, would limit strategy and tactics.

Its not limiting them to tanks its limiting how many tanks they can get but no matter how many tanks you can get it would still allow infantry and aircraft to be made or just make the army big enough and no need to limit seperate units
