Why not lower the unit count even more? Have small squads of units used by the players numbering about 4-6 (with 3 different types...knight, mage, archer or whatever). You could then let those units have different upgrade path's...and set a bunch of upgrades up on the units so when trigged by a rank upgrade (also increase that amount to 50 or 100)...the units upgrade. Make some boss units, which give off exp points.
Then you have yourself a nice rpg-ish game. Of course, you could increase the polies spent per unit majorly...since there are less in the game. Also, change the camera angle to add to the atmosphere.
