Official Petition for Unit Multiplier Clarification

**barry12** · September 03, 2013, 05:56 AM

Dear CA,

This is an official petition for clarification on how to multiply unit sizes. This was confirmed in various interviews, most recently in an IGN interview here - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/08/1...al-war-rome-ii in which the game's Lead Battle Designer Jamie Ferguson says,

"A high-spec machine can enjoy up to 32,000 units on the battlefield during a single real-time encounter. If you’re seeking further glory and are willing to push your PC harder than your legionaries, Jamie casually mentioned you can tweak the preference files to double that number to 64,000. "

This is usually achieved through editing the "campaign unit multiplier" parameter in the "preferences.script" file. This multiplier is not there any more.

Some of us only play with increased unit sizes and this has prevented many of us starting a campaign - we would greatly appreciate anyone from Creative Assembly pointing out what has happened to this option and whether we can still implement it.

Many thanks for any help.

just played 20 vs 40 unit battle - 15-25 fps... i have 3930k@4.5 and 2 gtx 680(only one working - no sli profile)...in 20vs20 battles I get 25-30 fps with high-ultra-extreme settings. they knew that no system would be able to handle multipliers so they removed it. Same old story. I wish I didn't pre order the game

Freud u read my posts on here i saw your name in the threads.Whats the point whining when we told you to wait?

Now you are stuck hoping they clarify this when in reality it should be in no ifs ands or butts.It is once again false advertising.

Can't the line be added?Also, I would look at the profile preferences files to see where it says the current preference is set to low/medium/high unit sizes.From there I would try to change the default preference file.
