    Default Why Do I Only Have Half the Unit Count Size?

    Like on another pc I play this on all the infantry etc have 200 units like their supposed to but on my laptop it was proportioned down to like 1/4th and my infantry only numbers at like 50 units each. Why is this and how do I change it?

    Go to options -> Video -> Click the advanced button -> change unit size to HUGE.

    AFAIK HUGE causes problems stick with LARGE.

    Anything less than HUGE shouldn't be used unless A) your PC is pants B) Graphics mean more to you than gameplay

    Huge units are more fun.

    I still think im right because the pathfinding waypoint (whatever you want to call it) system is already bad as it is plus using siege equipment in an orderly fashion is almost impossible, forming testudo ,phalanx and other close formations can be troublesome.I dont think battle map scales with unit size so in bridge-siege battles this may or may not cause problems.Also im not sure about this but i believe having HUGE units gives Phalanx units an advantage because you can make a longer three man deep battle line which tips the balance of the game( a single phalanx can defend a door a bridge or a town center).Imho Large is the default-intended unit count with HUGE being a bit overkill.

    Actualy gameplay is normally better imon normal sizes, manouvering is easier and often things run smoother.

    Just my opinion.

    Battles simply don't feel like battles unless they're set to Huge, that's my take.
