    Tha mx size is 250 units and at small you have about 75 men and 125 orks...
    but huge armies are best, cannot be changed even bigger because of the engine, belive me, it's big eough

    i also prefer huge armies but i wanted to reduce for example the size of the heavy silvan swordsmen since they are pretty strong(i know i can change their strength) since the real combat submod from pointblack,and i'll guess that isengard would outnumber them by at least 3:1 in the lore

    I think the developer balanced it pretty good, so why change the orks have trolls, and they're much stronger

    if you want to change the size of all units, go to mods/Third_Age and open TATW.cfg with notepad.
    find unit_size = huge and change huge to small, normal or large

    if you want to change the size of one unit, go to mods/Third_age/data and open export_descr_unit.txt with notepad

    If you can find a preferences.txt file, you might be able to change the size there.
