Hi. I want very big battles. How to edit the unit size? To make more units thanin the options menu. If it is possible.

RTW has a hardcoded max of 240 (plus officers) per unit...

Really? I thought it was 300 if you mod the game instead of simply changing the options to Huge Unit Size, unless I am mistaken.

You are. 240 is the maximum.

So you could actually change all unit sizes to 240?

**Foot** · 09-13-2008, 23:26

Yes you could. However that would give certain units, particular heavy cavalry and elite infantry a distinct advantage and would seriously unbalance the game.

The concept of a 243 late pahlavan kataphraktoi unit scares me.

**ludwag** · 09-15-2008, 01:31

so how to increase, but not [screwing] up the balance of the game?

Well thats for you to test and decide. We made our decisions based on our own testing with game balance.

I was actually basing my statement on the experience of one who asked about it. I told him to try and he said it made his game crash, so if it's harmless he must have done something wrong and I apologize.

Yes, it's harmless: you can raise the size of a unit in an ongoing campaign and also lower it, even though you have units of that type with more men than allowed in the game.
