Clash of nations map with 100 units

So I had joined a Clash of Nations match. This map has 22 players who usually leave at some point. So really this map may have 5 to 7 or sometimes 10 players. From that usually only 2 or 3 are decent players. Since a recent update each nation in this map gets over 100 units to start. All level 1 of course with mostly infantry, a few armored cars, a few light tanks and a interceptor. I dont know whose idea this was to have so many units from the start. The manpower production is very low due to the upkeep and not having made any recruitment buildings. This is not that bad at the beginning since you have over 10k manpower as resource, but getting more units does take alot of time, and specializing in units takes even longer. So after realizing how hard it is to fight multiple AI nations at once, alot of the other players abandoned due to heavy losses on their part. My game is on day 10 and I am the only player left. I still have a ways to go to win a solo match but even on day 10 I am still struggling with the AI since all the nations have over 100 units. I am at war with 6 AI nations most of them still have 100 units left so it is hardly possible for me to defend so many borders against swarms of units. I have over 400 kills in the match and 27 losses. This is just a slog match that will take days probably even weeks to win even though I am alone on the map. This is flawed and I highly think that the 100 units starting should be dropped to 50 or even 40 like it used to be. I think that was 34 units or something. This way AI nations wont be such a problem and players will stay in the match longer. I am a diehard and will finish the match, but most players are not like me.
