    Default Reducing the Size of the Nazgūl Unit?

    Hi guys. First of all I'm not entirely sure where this thread should go, so if I have posted in the wrong section I apologize. I imagine a mod will move the thread if that's the case.

    Anyway, basically I'd like to reduce the size of the Nazgūl unit from 10 down to 9 (on huge settings), if that's possible. For example, could I set up the unit so that there are 2 Nazgūl on the smallest setting, with an extra "banner bearer" Nazgūl (in the same way that there's an odd number of units for most of the mod's battalions)? Could I just set things up so that the unit size is 9 on huge.

    Otherwise I think the next best option would be to change the size down to 7 or 8. How would I go about doing that? I have no experience modding Medieval 2, so the clearer (and more simple) the explanation the better.

    Thanks guys.

    I have heard that 9 is impossible!

    Yeah, I'm quite sure that 10 is the hardcoded limit on Huge settings.

    The unit "dismounted nazgul" (see a file called export_descr_unit.txt in your data folder) is already on the lowest possible number wich is 4.
    This means:
    small unit size number= 4 (regular unit be 48)
    normal unit size number= 5 (x1.25; regular unit be 60)
    large unit size number = 7 (x1.5; regular unit be 90)
    huge unit size number = 10 (x1.34; regular unit be 120)

    Look into your export_descr_unit.txt file and search the following line:
    soldier Dismounted_Gothic_Knights, 4, 0, 1.8
    You will see what's up. It's the 4.

    I have heard

    smal= 1
    normal=2
    large=3
    huge=4

    I thought the 1 onit on small was only possible for elephant units? If 10 (on huge) is not the limit why are the Balrogs 10?

    Too bad, that's a small thing I know, but it really bothers me. Maybe I should be asking how to delete the unit from custom battles instead, but if I do end up learning how to do that I'll have to wait until 1.4 is released.

    It's very simple. Go to the EDU (export_descr_unit.txt; located in your data folder), search (ctrl+f) for Dismounted Nazgul and then add no_custom to their attributes.

    Wrong I believe. It is possible to make units with 1 unit on low. The limit of four appears to be for Huge unit scale.

    This is true but you cannot get 9 units on huge unit scale BTW.

    I think Balrogs are 8.
