Soldiers in a unit.

Im wondering if you can define unit strength by listing number of soldiers in the unit, is it defined in strat doc as unit strength: soldiers 92 as part of the unit, or does a unit have to be full strength?.

Opposed to MTW I believe in RTW you can only use full units. From what I´ve seen in descr_strat, there are only the unit names listed, not the number of soldiers.

You can only have full units set up in descr_strat. If you use the spawn_army command in a script, though you can control the number of men in a unit.

Code:

---

spawn_army
faction romans_julii
character Foedus Chaerea, general, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 20, x 89, y 80
unit roman generals guard cavalry, soldiers 20 exp 9 armour 1 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman legionary first cohort ii, soldiers 40 exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman legionary cohort ii, soldiers 60 exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman praetorian cohort i, soldiers 60 exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
end
