    But if it is possible would you remove all the elite unit limits?

    Having a whole stack of Old Guard may seem a great idea but will probably be a lot less fun when you find every enemy stack is made up of guards as well.

    I really hated that in Rome and Medieval Total War you always ended up fighting either whole stacks of elite units or whole stacks of peasants and never a balanced army.

    And one thing that NTW gets almost right is balancing AI forces - why spoil that?

    check around the modding threads for a while, i remember one in there somewhere.
    also, this type of post usually goes there, not in the general discussion forum.

    that being said, i agree with Clodius.
    Having unlimited super units would seem fun at first, but get pretty boring after a battle or 2

    Just download the PFM, go to the units tables, and take a look, there's a unit limit value ( at least there should be, there was in Empire). Hope this helps.
    If you rep me, leave your name. I'll look more kindly on your future transgressions.

    Yeah, if possible I'd like to increase the Moscow Musketeers from 1 to either 6 or 8. I think that's only fair.

    It's very simple. Just open data.pack and all patch.pack you've got and look for the db --> unit tables --> units and look for the unit limit. 0 makes the unit limitless and every number from 1 to whatever gives the maximum unit number during the campaign. Just remember to uncheck CA packs are read only and make backup copies just in case.
