    256 I believe is the limit. It makes sense in computer terms as well.

    Any idea on how the Reconquista Mod gets away with 325 units?

    I was hoping to add some units to the BKB Mod!

    Hmmm, are the units after the 256th available to be produced in-game? Or are they redundant?

    Well the units down to No# 156 are Mod specific units, and that is when the standard vanilla in game units begin. From No# 307 to 325 you have the ships, agent's and Spy's, and then the crusade/jihad. I would assume that a lot of those units are not producible as Sherwood Foresters and Pictish Cavalry were not usually found in Spain. However the spy and crusade are probably producible. Does this mean that the total number of enabled units can only be 256? Where does the information for the number 256 come from?

    Perhaps they're not all available in any particular era at once?

    Well I transferred the unit list from BKB's mod Prod file over to the Reconquista mod's unit Production file and renamed it EARLY_MODDED_CRUSADERS_UNIT_PROD11.TXT

    A simple COPY from the very beginning of the BKB file down to No# 256 Welsh Bandits (inclusive) and PASTE replacing everything in the Reconquista file down to No# 256 Lithuanian Cavalry (inclusive).

    I had to remove all references to FN_SWISS and FN_ITALIAN, or it wouldn't load, but after that it loaded and multiple examples of the Emissary showed up so the BKB list is active as well as unit No# 316 which is the second Emissary entry. The Venetians could build the barque as well, which in entry No# 203 they cannot, but they can in entry No# 308, which would seem to indicate that the ships and agents (No# 307 to No# 325) entries from the original Reconquista file are active.

    Damn me...

    I tried it, tested it and it seems that ALL non-combat 'units' ignore the limit.

    So basically you can have 256 units + I don't know how many freaking mounts, agents, ships, crusades and jihads.

    It seems the only factor what matters to count as one of those 256 units is combat capability on the tactical map...


    I must congratulate you this discovery, I really am impressed and it really is something, I can assure you.



    Well... it seems that PMTW 2.0 will reach 1000 of units after all...
