Custom unit strength?

[Wenceslaus]

I have lots of custom and modding questions.
Most immediate one; is there any way to customize unit strength (number of men) in a custom battle?

I've been thinking about the Fearfulway clan MPC and how to improve it.

Thanks

p.s. could I please have access to the Dungeon (and other boards)

You can modify the units number of men by editing the Crusader Unit Prod 11 file, I would recommend a utility that makes the process alot simpler you can get it from the Org download page it is called GnomeUnitBuildProdEditorV2.0 this will lay the file out in a simple to edit format for unit size look in column 8 and change it to what you desire, note some units can not be changed this way like artillery units, theres another column next to column 20 and it tells you if the units size is scalable or not.

Guess I should have been more specific. I don't want to change just the default unit strength, but rather the ability to change each individual unit in a custom battle.

i.e. if there are 3 spearmen in a custom battle, I'd like to be able for them to have 3 different numbers of men, just like being able to change each units valor and weapon stat.

Is this possible?

I don't think so, but lets get this straight. If you have three units of spearmen on the battlefield, you want one to have, say, 100 men, another have 120, and another have 80? This is kind of like the historical battles and campaigns, but I don't know how to do it, or if it is even possible.

Patience Wenceslaus. You've only been here two days. Just keep posting here as you have been. Several modder types make routine visits to the Entrance Hall so you can get your questions answered here in the meantime. You'll be hangin' with the Mod Squad soon enough

Well, you coul do copies of the Spearmen unit with different unit sizes. They'd look the same for all intents and purposes besides for the amount of men in each.
