unit sizes

[Sigmar Heldenhamer]

what is going to be the biggest unit size, or huge settings, can i be able to have 100+ men per unit like i could in empire or napoleon or shogun ? cause i hate playing with small numbers of men in each unit

[=Vastator=]

160 infantry, 120 missiles, 80 cavalry on huge

[Lathrim]

160 infantry, 120 missiles, 80 cavalry on huge

Thanks for the info. Was curious about it as well.

[Mr.Freud]

I also hope they did some great optimization so it won't lag with multiplier at 2

I'm pretty sure I saw that cavalry had 108 men.

[Mr.Freud]

u can use unit_multiplier to have even bigger units

[DavidtheDuke]

Yes, I'm pretty sure this is still possible like it was in Shogun 2 and previous Warscape TW engine games.

This method has issues, particularly with anything that has crews.

[Mr.Freud]

You mean ships?

[Gollrir]

You mean ships?

That, and things like artillery.

Do it for your pal Sharpe.

I heard somewhere unit size also depends on what unit. Not every infrantry unit will have 160 troops, there will be some variation. Not completely sure though.

Correct-O. Someone posted a few screenshots some time back and they showed several units hitting around 270, I believe. They were not good units or anything. I think it was militia hoplites? For some reason that unit is coming to mind. But yeah, there are certainly units that are much larger than 160 on huge.

False. Already discussed that.

[DogSoldierSPQR]

False. Already discussed that.

No, actually it's not false. You will find units that hit numbers up to 270 or something. I'm guessing you never saw those screenshots then.
160 is the average unit size on Huge difficulty. That's the size units will be focused on. There are lower quality units that exceed that number.

[Kinjo]

Probably chariots and war elephants as well.

[ScubaSteve091]

Large scale, Mercenary units with more.

[Raikou]

I think what you were referring to Dog was a screen from the campaign map?

If so it was actually 3 units of 90 men each and not actually 1 single unit if you go back and look at it again.

As far as bigger units I wouldn't hold my breath on it but we will see in less than 2 weeks

made account after lurking for years on this just for this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-WusyFuRKs Video shows large unit size. Roman cavalry with 60 units and Triarii with 120. Then also right next to them merc cavalry with 80 units, and Italian spearmen with 160. Taken from the prologue.

Ah, so the urge of replying has finally gotten the better of you, eh? I had the same problem.. or is it a blessing? Anyway, thanks for confirming!
