ReallybadAI probably yes
SSHIP dont know what is thia
Submod compilation, I think it is too

Basically not compatible with a mod that adds new units or edits units balance or stats because the file overwrites it all

Testing is simple, make a backup of your export_descr_unit file and replace it by the one used for vanilla

Enjoy!

I love your mod. Here is a pike and shot battle I recorded recently that showcases your large unit sizes!!

The mod is perfect for large armies of pikes and firearms and plenty of guns (cannons)... Good job!!
P.S. The morale is also nearly perfect now... And in my latest campaign as Lithuania, the increased speed of weaker light infantry is very good, as it increases options for flanking strategies...

Glad u love it

Speed unit changes is very useful, u can tell the Scots and highlanders. If you have more suggestions pls let me know

I also love the ×2 artillery unit size, I didn't understand how "playable" a 2 catapults unit can be

There should be a LOG somewhere when it crashes. If you can send it I would take a look and see the reason.

Does anyone know if it's possible to edit the EDU file directly to reduce the number of trebuchets from 4 to 2? I tried to change the "4" to a "2" in the code below, but it resulted in a crash on startup, so I guess it is not the right value:

type             NE Trebuchetdictionary       NE_Trebuchet      ; Trebuchet
category         siege
class            missile
voice_type       Heavy
banner faction   main_missile
banner holy      crusade
soldier          NE_TREBUCHET_CREW, 24, 4, 0.8, 0.30

Any help would be appreciated. I like the larger number of siege engines, but in the case of trebuchets, the AI often has 2 or 3 units (8 to 12 trebuchets) in open field battles, and it is a bit ridiculous (especially because of their high rate of fire and pinpoint accuracy).

Thanks!

Try 16, 2
not 24, 2

Hi Ignasigh, thank you so much for the lightning fast reply. It turns out that my problem was using Notepad to edit the values in the EDU file. Even if I just changed a letter in a commented out section and saved the file, it would cause a crash!! The solution was to use Notepad++. And I am happy to report that I have already played 3 different battles against the AI with half the number of trebuchets, and the difference is like night and day. It makes open field battles much better when the AI only has 2 or 4 trebuchets... not 4 or 8!

Hello i have a question, what is the average unit size for infantry on the big and huge downloads.....what sizes do you get. Thanks

Hello i have a question, what is the average unit size for infantry on the big and huge downloads.....what sizes do you get. Thanks

If you ask for Infantry only...
Militia 250
Elite units 150 (knights templars, etc)
Rest of infantry around 200

[Poacher886]

Thanks, I prefer bigger battles, its a shame MTW2 doesn't support 350+ really.

Would this mod work in conjunction with SSHIP mod?

250 is the current limit

SSHIP? what does this mod do? As long as it doesnt change the unit types/quantities ..should be fine

Hi SSHIP is one of the major overhaul mods for SS 6.4...you can find it in the submod section at the top of the page. I dont think it messes with the unit numbers, but might have different units involved.

[Lifthrasir]

I confirm that the EDU in SSHIP is different compare to the original one from SS6.4. We have removed some units and have added some others. I'm pretty sure that you will need to work on this submod if you want to implement it to SSHIP.

Does this work for Titanium? If not, do you know of one that does? Looking to get bigger unit sizes without having to manually alter the export_descr_unit.txt file

Hi

I don't think so as the units are based on SS only..from what I can see Titanium has different factions and units so it must be made compatible.
