Is it possible to change unit mass?

[Lugiahua]

well, I recently played SS 6.3...and was impressed by the cavalry charge in that mod.
I heard the biggest difference between SS and other mod is the mass

And now I want to apply the same effect to units in TATW, but I can't find where is the mass setting. I did use search, but came out a lot of other articles.

Does anyone knows which file has the mass setting?

Just wait for Real Recruitment/Real Combat.

Yes you can actually, if you look at the better cavalry mod you can see how to change the mass of units. Be in mind that if you change the mass of units it will make them hit harder and fall harder as they smash into the enemy. Mass only applies to cavalry type units by the way. Hope this helps.

Mass also applies to foot units.

if you go into the 'descr_mount' file (found in your 'data' folder) you'll come across something like this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

type barded horse ;;;;;Swan Knights
class horse
model Mount_Barded_Horse
radius 1.2
x_radius 0.5
y_offset 0.7
height 2.5
mass 3.25
banner_height 0
bouyancy_offset 1.8
water_trail_effect horse_water_trail
root_node_height 1.0
;rider_offset 0.0, 0.45, 0.35
rider_offset 0.0, 0.38, 0.70

you'll want to change this line
"mass 3.25"

also if you want to change the mass of infantry you can do it by opening up your 'export_descr_unit' file (also in the 'data' folder):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

armour_ug_levels 1, 2
armour_ug_models lossarnach, lossarnach_ug1
ownership sicily
era 0 sicily
era 1 sicily
era 2 sicily
recruit_priority_offset 5

you'll want to change the line:
"soldier Varangian_Guard, 60, 0, 1"

the third number (the highlighted one) is the mass of the unit - don't change the other two values as they control something else

I hope I've answered your question

Simple, to increase unit mass:
-don't sport
-eat alot, especially junk food
