For breastworks construction, I always tought that the size of the breastworks constructed is always to cover the entire hexside. If you assign 50 men to do the work, it should take longer than if you assign 500 men to fortify the hexside.
In Campaign Corinth, the parameter data say Breastworks Construction: 18%
In my calculation is good, it would take in average 5 or 6 turns for 500 men to construct the breastworks.
I made two tests using the Corinth scenario, I ordered my men to build breastworks in 14 hexes,here's the results:
Men assigned/#turns test 1/ #turns test 2
996 men / 1 t / 3 t
961 men / 1 t / 2 t
837 men / 3 t / 3 t
755 men / 1 t / 3 t
747 men / 2 t / 1 t
583 men / 6 t / 8 t
520 men / 2 t / 1 t
520 men / 10 t / 16 t
420 men / 5 t / 15 t
325 men / 15 t / 5 t
310 men / 4 t / 9 t
215 men / 10 t / 8 t
65 men / 14 t / not built after 20 turns
50 men / not built after 20 t / 13 t
As you can see, the results seems to confirm that.
