Can anyoen tell me if there is a mod or a way to increase the unit size in rome past the normal limit.

You can change it in the preferences.txt file.

Don't make it too high or you will screw up the AI path finding.

What's the highest value still manageble for AI Pathfinding, I'm thinking about changing the unit size huge (160) to 200 or so, where in the preferences.txt would I find it?

It switched to the Minimum for your size I think you need to edit each unit.

Just what are the "HUGE" unit sizes anyway. I am playing the Brutii on HUGE and I have Hastatii units of 160 soldiers.

Is that actually HUGE? And, if not, what controls this as my Prefences file is set to HUGE and locked as Read Only.

I have tried it several times with mods, to increase units sizes. I managed to change all units to 243 men. ( In SPQR modification for Rome Total War ) . With other mods I cant do it.

Isn´t 240 men the standard size for huge settings?
(Atleast for light infantry, the heavy ones have 160 men)

I think there is no way to change it hehe. When I edit the preferences file the game just changes it back to regular size.

Thnk you are right about that - Oh well.

Increasing unit size? Well, you use the Swedish Enlarger...oh, you meant military units.

**Propaganda** · July 30, 2010, 05:15 AM

It is possible if you know what file to change. You can change all units to 243 men per unit.

Wait so by adjusting unit size it will make an 80-man unit go up to 100 or say 160? LOL I thought it would make the images of the guys bigger, so they'd all be giants...you're saying it will increase the number of solides so I can go from having a 1,500-man army at max to a 2,500-man army when it is maxed? Damn, good to know, I did regular this time, once I get 50 nodes I will max it out next game...
