"A NEW LEVEL OF MILITARY SCALE"
DMBOSS' Army Buff
Version 1.2b (Patch 1, All DLC's)
Hi there,
are you not entertained being stuck with unrealistically small battles and unhistorical total number of men in your Legions?
Also Czech out my other mod, maybe you'll like it. It's called Imperiales Œconomiæ.
WHAT THIS MOD DOES (In a nutshell):
"This mod rapidly increases the size of the military part of the game. It won't make it easier for the player, more likely otherwise. All features are made based on the historical records and tailored to fit in the game. It is optimised for better than average PCs and for better than average players. From historical records, the late Roman army counted almost half a million men at arms, so it is quetionable why the vanilla game contain only a couple of thousands (field armies, garrisons and naval troops together). Not to mention the nomadic tribes containing only a couple of thousands... Pfff....
Let's take it to a new level."
First INFO:
This mod IS compatible with other mods.
This mod is universal, but mods below require a special file.
Mods that are not in the "Download links" and don't add additional units are compatible as well.
DMBOSS' Army Buff is compatible with:
Radious Total War (16.03.15)
Radious Total Units (16.03.15)
AUM-ATT for Radious (v1.3 16.03.15)
AUM-ATT for vanilla (v1.3 16.03.15)
Fall of the Eagles (v.003)
DEI Combat overhaul (v0.51 13.03.15)
and other mods that don't add additional units.
"This mod is a combination of two components: the in-game changes in mod (.pack) format and a DIY tweak. Those two parts are pretty much essential to stay together and are meant to be used together. Of course, you don't really need to download and install the mod itself to get 44 units per army, it only takes modifying the save game file. BUT, this mod is MADE to be used with 44 unit armies and without it you simply won't get what this mod offers - large military. Sure, use 44 unit armies without this mod, but more units = more money for recruitment and upkeep, requirement of more recruitment slots, accordingly larger garrisons and so on.
My experience:

Concerning the 3 times bigger garrison, the AI quits being passive and deffensive (it knows it has men in cities) so it's pretty hardcore AI in my opinion. Also, One army doesn't ultimatelly mean conquered city now, the cities now can pretty much defend themselfs against weaker armies, so the AI won't even try until it has enough men.
MORE DETAILS (and pictures):
1. Increases unit sizes: Infantry - 200, Cavalry - 100, Ranged units - 150, all others and naval units - x1.25 original
PICTURE
2. Decreases unit recruitment and upkeep cost via a special formula
The formula is a bit of a puzzle, who's gonna "see what I did there"?
All recruitment costs are equal to upkeep costs. That way the expenses play much larger part in your military campaign.

This formula allows player to recruit army quickly for a particular military campaign and disband them after they've the job done. That way you don't keep armies forever standing here and there, but build them once you got the money for a war and only for a short war. This approach is much closer to the real-life one of that time.
3. Increases number of initial unit recruitment slots (Original* 5) (five times the original numbers)
PICTURE
4. *Increases Army size (per one general) from 20 to 44 (units in one army stack)
* Requires a small tweak with EditESF.

5. Increases amount of garrison units (Original * 3) (three times the original amount), so now the cities are harder to take.

INSTALLATION:
DMBOSS' Army Buff is required to be checked in mod manager as first (above other mods)!!!!
VERY IMPORTANT: Playon Medium unit size setting, otherwise garrison and starting units get wrong numbers!!! (Medium = 200 Men per unit)
Also important: You want to always check the "Enable large battle" before the battle starts.
STEPS of installation:
1. Download and put the mod in your AttilaTotal War/data folder (if you're downloading a special version for other mod, make sure you have that mod as well)
2. Download and extract EditESF 1.1.1 http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-Array-Editing Don't run it yet.
3. Run Attila and make sure the mod is checked in your mod manager and if using the Mitch's Mod manager make sure you move it to the top of the list
4. Now you have two options:
a) You have an existing save game
b) Or you don't, so start a new campaign and make sure before you start to setup MEDIUM unit size in the Graphics Settings, it's very important (I recommend tostart and save a new game anyway, so it's a fresh new start)
5. Now close the game and run the downloaded EditESF 1.1.1
6. Go to File> Open> {Navigate to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\TheCreative Assembly\Attila\save_games} and open your save game
7. Follow the instuctions in the image below:
By changing the two 20 numbers to 44 you're enabling armies of 44 units.
8. Now it's done! Run Attila and load the save game you modified.
INFO: You need to modify the save game only once per campaign, that means only at a start of a new campaign.
That's it! Leave a comment and enjoy.
Also Czech out my other mod, maybe you'll like it. It's called Imperiales Œconomiæ.
