Hard-Coded Limits

[Anti-Distinctlyminty]

There had best be a way to get round those hard coded limits. All I wanted was huge battles. Seriosly, that's *all* I wanted :(

Well you can still get pretty big ones, have you got the settings on huge unit size? And then you just make every unit have the maximum in men. 16 units per army, thats quite big....

Sorry but thats the trouble with hardcoded stuff. Anyway welcome to the .ORG

Is this big enough?

My dream has come true!

But seriously, it doesnt seems possible. Was that a multiplayer game I take it?

@Myrddraal: Yes, I'm on huge unit size, but that just doesnt cut it for me (I'm sorry to say) I wrote a little program that will go through the unit_prod file and multiply the size of the units by a certain amount up to the hard coded limit, but this makes the barbarian factions have a critical handicap during battle. They rely on large hordes of men per unit & if the Romans (for example) have an equal amount, then they dont stand a chance. i.e. the game becomes unbalanced :(
Furthermore, due to the population growth rate *not* being modified depending on what unit size you have selected, you run into very large problems getting your cities up to a decent level & maintaining an army. This, I far as I'm concerned, was an oversight by CA (that probably had Activision breathing down its neck). Propulation growth should be higher for the larger unit sizes.

Anyway, I digress. How do you get those gigantic units if it is possible?

PS Thanks for the warm welcome :)

another quick question :

what is top limit for amount of money that can be added to faction in descr_strat ?

[Dol Guldur]

Good question - I will admit to knowing it is at least 70 million

going over certain amount will eventually cause RTW to CTD or even worst PC might get locked up on the end of the turn.It would be good to know what would be highest amount per faction
