    Default to many units

    um is it noraml for there to be 160 units in on group of solders. cause I don't remember the armies being that huge. I just downloaded patches 1.3 and 1.5. I dont remember there being that many guys in one unit.

    You need to look in the option menu at the graphic options, if you select the advanced options there will be a unit scale tab. Huge scale has 160 men in a standard unit, large has 80 men in a standard unit.

    I noticed that there are certain factions that can never get the title 'The Great', so whats the equivalent titles for these factions, if any?

    Some barbarian factions have things like "the Magnificent" or the "the Brave" that I suppose are about equal. I'm not sure, but I remember there being a thread for this topic some time ago when I was still a forum newbie. Might pay to do a search...

    Default URGENT HELP NEEDED

    I am a newbie and would like to know how I can determine which version of RTW I have. I read somewhere that a thing called "vanilla" helps...
    What is that?
    Amy help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Open your game.

    2. Click on "Options."

    3. Now look at the bottom or top of your screen. It'll say which version you have (i.e. 1.3, 1.5, etc)

    "Vanilla" is "Rome: Total War" (without any modifications).

    Thanks Prince of Macedon.

    What a funny term for a version--vanilla.

    This was a first in the class of weirdos in linguistics and should go into the Guinness Book of Misnomer Records.

    Thanks again.

    I'm not sure if this is true, but I think the term came from how plain vanilla is. i.e. vanilla is a plain type of icecream flavour, a plain type of colour. And so when refering to a game (it's not just RTW you know) as vanilla, you're basically saying that it's the plain, normal version of the game, and all the special stuff that it doesn't have is in the mods

    One CD key should work with all of them: RTW, BI and Alex. Are you sure you have typed it in completely correctly in RTW?

    Your CD-Key will work with both. I'm moving this to a more appropriate place.

    Well what faction and what unit is it? Cos I think some units have a limited size, and even when you change the files to make a bigger number of men, they will only stay at the maximum possible.

    Yes I'm quite sure 161 men is the limit for them. I don't think you can get any more.

    I've seen in the very hard campaign that enemies can have more than 20 units in one army. Why is that?

    They cant, its just two rows of 9 and 2 extra units. Yeah, its confusing.

    Yes you could, but to add all the types of units, cities, banner colours and symbols, buildings etc.... that would take an awfull lot of time going through each type of file and adding what you want into it. But it is definitely possible, that's how new factions in mods are made.
