Do you mean change the size of an individual unit(s) or change the general size setting?

In Data, open export_descr_unit.txt

Here are all the attributes for units, I assume you know most of this...

The unit size is set under soldier. This is what the numbers after soldier mean:

; followed by the number of ordinary soldiers in the unit
; followed by the number of extras (pigs dogs, elephants, chariots artillery pieces etc attached to the unit)
; followed by the collision mass of the men. 1.0 is normal. Only applies to infantry
Thats at the top of the file. The explanations at the top of the file are usefull as a reference. Hope this helps.

If you mean the scale of the unit model (ie to create a giant unit) you need to use Vercingetorix' animation editor. With it you can create new skeletons by duplicating existing ones and scale them up.

Really? Can you actually get battles with more than 300 men per unit that way? If so is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do this?
Thanks for any help - I've been trying to get big battles since the game came out.

No, he means that animation editor can be used to make individual soldiers bigger(taller, etc.).
