my units are stuck in small size, like only 20 guys per each unit, that means a very small army. Also, how do you have a battle timer, I just started playing as brutus, and I don't have timer on any of my battles. I would like to see big armies fight, but my units size so small. And how exactly do you use siege towers. It's like none of any units can mount on them.

The unit size is on the advanced options (there is button there). The battle timer, I can't exactly say for the moment.

To use the siege towers, you simply click on the unit with the Siege Towers, then click on the walls where you want to climb. Now, the narrator will tell you you have mounted the walls, now click on you unit again and click on the top of the walls, the unit will climb (use double-click though so they move faster). ~:)

The unit with the siege tower has a little icon in the unit card. If you want to drop the siege tower, press j (at least in FPS setup; click F1 of your keyboard to see what you need to press). Click a unit again then click back on the tower. The unit now holds the siege tower.

Pick a unit that can sap (right click on the unit card to read the description and see which). It is has a line that say: "Can sap".

Then just click this unit on the entrance of sapping points (you will see them in front of the walls). Your units will enter and dig in through the walls. The walls will collapse and you can enter without using the gates or climbing walls. ~:)

Before your use sapping points though, make sure to climb the walls first and run your unit throught the arrow towers so they will stop shooting or else your army entering the breach will be shot to pieces literally!

Just click on the top of the wall sections beyond where your unit is and they will enter through the arrow towers and exit to where you clicked. Do that to every tower that can shoot your units as they enter the streets toward the city square :charge:

You will have to start a new campaign though, the campaign you're playing will still use the small unit size...
