New to this mod, I have been playing SS for awhile, just wanted to try something different. Wondering if there are some unit size increase mods?

The cap is 250 men in huge units. Can't get more than that.

True, just seems like some of the units could use more troops.

There are no such mods and with good reason (as mentioned above). From a gameplay (or even a lore) perspective there really is no need for more troops in any unit.

The bolded number below in the export_descr_unit.txt file affects unit sizes if you want to tweak them.

soldier marines, 60, 0, 0.95

If you think some units need larger troops sizes but are already at 250 you could lower the sizes of all other units to increase the gap between them.

If 100 = 250 then 50 = 125 men etc. Keep that proportion in mind when making changes.

250 is more than enough for totals in a unit, I see your point about lore. Just sometimes I wish that some troop totals were larger but certainly not units with 250.

OK well, those that have less than 250 can easily be increased. You can't increase the sizes of units already recruited in a campaign so it'd be better to start a new one.

The RC/RR mod, for example, does change unit sizes but maybe not in the way you'd like. It mostly increases the gap between "elite" races like elves and "zerg" ones like orcs so it's more likely for a certain unit to have less men rather than more.
