increase unit sizes?

[Vilihelm]

is there any way to change unit sizes? with 1.4 mod there was Cow epic campaign mod, which increased troops almost twice. but its out of date..any tips? can i change it manualy in some descr file? im afraid it could ruin the game or formations or dont know

Go into the "export_descr_unit.txt" and change the first number in the "soldier" line. See below what I mean:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

type Knights Innercircle bodyguard
dictionary Knights_Innercircle_bodyguard
category cavalry
class heavy
voice_type General
banner faction banner_innercircle
banner holy crusade_cavalry
soldier Knights_Innercircle, 12, 0, 1.5
mount Elector count armored horse
attributes sea_faring, can_withdraw, knight, command, general_unit, no_custom
formation 1.5, 1.5, 3, 3, 3, square
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 9, 8, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, spear, 0, 1
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 9, 6, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 0, 1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 12, 6, 4, metal
stat_sec_armour 3, 3, metal
stat_heat 2
stat_ground 0, -3, -4, 0
stat_mental 16, normal, highly_trained, lock_morale
stat_charge_dist 45
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 4, 1750, 350, 100, 100, 1750, 1, 1000
armour_ug_levels 6
armour_ug_models Knights_Innercircle
ownership portugal
recruit_priority_offset 10

Note: The limits of this number are 4 (minimum) and 100 (maximum). The unit scale in the Options menu will change them to varying sizes:

Small - 50%
Normal - 100%
Large - 150% or 200% (I will have to recheck this)
Huge - 250%

So, for example, 100 would be 250 men on huge (100x2.5=250)

thanks again!!

Is there anyone working on a document with increased unit sizes? if i do this on my own it would take ages...

[Vilihelm]

i think about 2 hours if change it manually

[Ultra123]

im actualy editing mine to have double the unit sizes, im avoiiong maxing unit sizes for balance and pathing issues during sieges will upload shortly.

lol just saw reiksguard bodyguard and had to double take coz i saw it as Reiksfart

EDIT: ok done, backup your EDU's just in case some info below

-based on warcry a submod that changes the EDU info can be found in its own thread under submods

-Sylvanian skeles have had an extra hit point added, this makes them more formidable, as empire troops now match them in size, orcs and goblins have been left the same however.

-mages are untouched ( SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO TOTALLY REMOVE THEM FROM THE GAME PLEASE)

- all units have been effectively doubled many to the 100 limit as described by THP above.

- this most likely unbalances quite a few things especially if you like to play orcs and goblins, and sylvanians are far more stronger so if you play them you'll have a easier time of it.

- siege equipment is untouched they are powerful enough.

- not entirely sure if these changes affect scripted armies, as im sure thats another file, testing to be done

- lastly this is all PERSONAL changes that i want out of this mod, im not a dedicated modder so if you dont like something you have to change it yourself, its simple and if a dumbass like me can do it so can you.


REP if you like what you see! it motivates me!

This fails for me and I get the error 'Unrecognised mount type 'Elector count armored horse'.'

Yeah you resurrected a very old thread.. it was for V1.4 and I'm assuming you're using V1.5.1 of the mod.
