    i've heard about battles with 20 000 each side but you need a great comp to do that...

    Not sure about that - the biggest unit size I've seen is 240 (well, 241...), so 20 of those and you'd have 4800 in one 20 unit stack - So if you had four full armies ...!

    Maybe in multiplayer, I suppose - anyone tried?

    In past version of Totalwar the maximum troops fielded per battle has been based upon the maximum number of units fielded by the maximum number of players in an Multiplayer online game.

    I don't think its is possible to acheive these numbers in single player.

    Whooohooo! another person from boringville.

    You probably could, but only using a custom battle set up (and it would take 5 hours to play, cos bugger knows what your framerate would be like with this many troops).

    In custom battle or MP, the maximum number of men in 29006, and I'd love the rig that can do that at a decent speed. Does anyone know how it was done on Decisive Battles? Was it a CA mod, or something like that? Just curious, since I could never run such a battle.

    You have to under stand that professional devolopers computers are probably 3 times more powerful than ours. I've seen it allueded to in print that the video cards that someone who works for CA would have are twice as beefie as anything we could get our hands on.

    Thats a bit of random number! Is that the maximum men the game engine can support? Otherwise altering the unit size base number would be possible also. This was fairly easy, if not tedious, in MTW. I haven't checked in Rome but it should still be available for Gi-normous battles!
