I've searched the archives, the guides and the general forum, but have been unable to find the answer to the following questions:

1) What is the max number of men in a unit? I've read that CA said 300, with some units only being able to have 256 men max. However, I've been unable to reproduce it with plain peasents. The game CTD when I put the number on 74 (in huge size this turns to 296 men).

2) Is it possible to make non-phalanx spear units to swap to swords or javelins in battle? I know that phalanx units can swap to swords, but I remember someone mentioning that it wasn't possible with non-phalanx units.

Thanks in advance you for your answers...
