Too Many Units

[TrevorMcPoonage]

I recently built myself a new pc, an e8400 currently clocked at 4ghz and a 9800gx2 graphics card plus 2gb ram (cost me a bit ) but With these specs medieval 2 plays brilliantly at top settings including 8x AA and 16X AF with my monitors top resolution of 1680 x 1050. I would have thought with these specs i would not keep getting this message in the campaign telling me reinforcements cant arrive as my computer can't handle them. Ive played a custom battle with 4 armies each with 20 X 150 men before it starts to run slowly significantly making it annoying so it seems to me medieval 2 is under estimating my pc's power a bit (i still get the warning when making customs battles this big however telling me i have too many units but it runs fine still :hmmm.

Basically i was wondering if there is any way of turning off medieval 2 from preventing reinforcements? I dont want to have to turn my graphics down as it looks sweet at these settings and i want bigger battles.

Open your medieval2.preferences.cfg file with Notepad and find this line:
unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 0
... and change the 0 to a 1. Should solve the issue.

yes there is
in your medieval II main directory, theres a file called medieval2.preferences.cfg
right click and select properties
make sure that the read-only box is unchecked
then open medieval2.preference.cfg
under [game] near the bottom, there is a line called unlimited_men_on_battlefield= 0
change that 0 to 1
and there you go!
