    Yes, you can change the unit numbers, thats what Foot just said. But you can't raise any unit number higher than 240 plus officers. I'm not sure what file you change it in though, wait for Foot to return

    As you expressed a desire to keep your current campaign alive, I thought I should mention that if you do change the unit numbers, you will have to start a new campaign.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I'm not sure, I think I changed units quite a few times mid-campagin (but those were mainly ownerships and attack/defence). I think that current units will need retraining, as they will not become bigger automaticaly.

    Yeah, one time I made Praetorian calv. and soldiers, both 240 units just to steamroll armies on vh/vh. lol, it was crazy. then I changed them back mid campaign. really, anything in EDU can be changed during a campaign.

    yes changing things in the EDU are savegame compatible. However changing the overall unit size in the option menu is not. I think bovi got confused between the two.
