Anyone modded down Bodyguard size?

[Calmarac]

Changing the Generals units sizes in the export_descr_units file has no effect in-game. Instead, it appears to be hardcoded to the unit size

But you can change the General unit size in export_descr_units. Just look at the SPQR mod for example, with values of 8 or 6 in the `soldier` line giving units of 32 or 24 on Huge. I did this in my own homebrew mod a while ago - and chopped cavalry units down a lot at the same time. It doesn`t stop the AI from charging them in as far as I can see, but the small bodyguards means I`m less likely to, and they will die if I get careless or use them as tanks too much.

The thing which isn`t affected by this file change is the extra men given to the Faction Leader & Heir, so they still have large 50 & 100 man units on Huge

really?

will have to check again. I suppose it's conceivable i just looked the faction leader or heir...

this works for custom battles. Does it work in the campaign?

EDIT: yep, works in campaign, just as cloudnine suggests. I must have looked solely at my faction leader or faction heir when doing my initial modding!

Theres also reducing there HP'S from 2 to 1. And technically that right there halves the unit size. Someone said they did that in the modding section and said it works quite well. Also he said the generals route quicker because they take a higher rate of casualties in a given timeframe wich makes them turn tale and saving thier hides after most battles.
