    @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 :)

    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

    By trial and error process I have come conclusion that highest amount seem to be 999.999.

    are numbers of models allowed in descr_model_battle still at 255 ?

    Yes.

    Edit: And Dol Guldur says 70,000,000 is a valid amount of denarii in descr_strat.
