I suck at math but try 1.88

2.5 gives you 400 men
2 gives you 320
1.88 should give you 300.8 but I don't know how it handles rounding numbers.

Time to go back to college...

much thanks, double units will do fine til lord vader gets his copy

**joreto** · February 26, 2010, 11:26 AM

I think that 2 (double units) is the best choise, because with more unites the AI is getting confused sometimes. Is it possible to change the unit scale in the historical battles

This seems good but how is the BAi coping with the larger units is it still ok or are they hitting one another? Anyone find a problem there?

Some of the best mods for ETW, such as DarthMod, use unit sizes of around 300 men per line infantry regimnet, and DarthMod was regarded as having the best AI around. So no, it doesnt really effect the AI. The AI forms its lines according to group formations, not according to measurments, so the units could be any size and the AI would still form them the same way.

First and foremost, are you using XP or Vista?

If you are using Vista, the correct path is MYNAME/AppData/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Napoleon/Scripts

Also, in Control Panel in Folder Options is 'Shot Hidden Folders' checked on?

If all else fails, launch a system search for preferences.script

I'm not using XP, so I don't know if the path is different.

**Ryo** · February 26, 2010, 01:57 PM

XP and yes the option is checked on!

Okay, right click on the Application folder, and check off 'Hidden.' Then run a search on your computer for the file preferences.script

Does the file show up?

**Ryo** · February 26, 2010, 02:06 PM

I've found only preference file of empire!

the folder NAPOLEON in not n the same path of EMPIRE...

Anyone changed the default camera ? In ETW I changed it in preference file from 0>2 for lower screenshots. I wonder if it makes any difference here.

Thanks for the tips on larger units, I'll do that.
Anyone find how to remove the floating flags and top left menu? I set flags to 'never' but they still show over my units, but not enemy .

**Ryo** · February 26, 2010, 02:10 PM

I'm an idiot!

thanks Thoragoros!

I am using the debug camera and it just lets you get down to ground level when viewing the battle. It doesn't adversely affect anything.

Thanks!

I've done exactly as instructed in this the original post, but for some reason my game keeps on CTD about 2-3 minutes in. I first set unit multiplier to 1.5 and it crashed. Changed it to something else and it crashed again. Disabled the read-only option and it crashed again. Deleted the preferences.txt script and started up a new one. It keeps on crashing when I change the unit multiplier option. If I leave it at it's original value of 1 and play with ultra settings, the game runs smoothly with no crash.

Can anyone help me?
