    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?

    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.

    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.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Default AW: how to make even bigger units?

    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.
