How many units?

[ellocomoco]

alright this may sound like a stupid question but uhh, how many units can there be on the battle map?

[Viper1]

Depends on your setting. if it's a 60 unit setting 960 per army, you can have up to 120 units in an unit so that's 1920 per army, a maximum of 4 armies makes the maximum number of units on a map 7680. That's if you aren't playing campagn. Campagn can be a lot more if you'll accept dead bodies as units. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif I am good. ::blows on his knuckles and rubs em on his shirt::

Er you can get 8 armies on a map http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif 4v4 so then it would be 15360 http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

You shouldnt try Custom battles with more then 2 Armies itll go VERY VERY slowly but once if forced the Shimazu horde to have a huge battle (I was Imagawa) it said they had 4500 troops while I had 4100 (more or less) The reinforcements just kept pouring in for more then 30 minutes (REAL minutes i turned off the damn timer)

[Gothmog]

You haven't seen my usual 2 hour long (actual time) fighting against a 7000-strong horde on 60 men setting.

[ellocomoco]

that's sort of odd because when i play campaign or any other battle it says that i am about to fight like 3456 vs. whatever number but it only shows 1920 of my people and 1920 of the enemies.

[Flame of Udun]

You have to wait for reinforcements (which only come when ur army routs) Because atleast I dont think that managing 3000 men would be too easy

[ellocomoco]

oh so my army have to rout in order to get the others. yeah i guess it would be hard to manage over 3000 people http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

the speed of a game depends on some things,

connection
pc and equipment.....ofcourse http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

i saw games with 6 and 8 players and they was pretty fast, like a 1v1...

Max is this:

Assuming no kensai, ninjas or sanda bomas:

16 units X 8 players (max) =

16 units X unit size X 8 players =

(With 60 man units http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
16 X 60 X 8 =
960 X 8 = 7860

(With 120 man units http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
16 X 120 X 8 =
1920 X 8 = 15360

GAH!

[Puzz3D]

ellocomoco,

Each army is limited to a maximum of 16 units on the field at one time. You can withdraw a few units, and you might get a few reinforcements. If you withdraw all your units including the taisho, you'll get a lot of reinforcements, but the 16 unit limit per army can never be exceeded.

[ellocomoco]

yeah i sort of figured that by now. thx for the info guys.
