using other adjectives with "more in number"

Question

I wrote:

If we try to cover these cases and achieve the same precision, we need to use more and complicated rules and this makes the wrapper more complex.

by more and complicated rules, I mean more rules, each more complicated.. did it convey the meaning I want, or is there other way to say this?

Answer 1

Your phrase

we need to use more and complicated rules

may not fully describe

more rules and more complicated rules

You might use

we will need to add increasingly complicated rules
we will need to add rules which are more complicated
we will need additional rules of increasing complexity

Answer 2

That's one way of saying it - but a rather vague way.

Try 'we need to use more rules of greater complication' - if you don't want the sentence to change.

But you can always express it as ' we need to use a greater amount of rules with strong complications' or perhaps ' we need to use more rules that are highly complicated'.
