Want a larger army? Build more cottages, want to build a smaller army faster? Build as you do now.

If population became the regulatory method for army max, I'd tear down 24 of my lvl 9 barracks and put cottages in their place.
I assume you would also drop your taxes to 0% and rely on plunder for income. Besides, at a certain point gold income becomes irrelevant so this idea would simply create another potential for a serious exploit.

Armies based on our ability to sustain them is logical.
