How to increase unit size

How to increase unit size ? I´d like to have about 500 men in a unit ? Is it possible? Thanks

500 men is not possible I don't think. Maximum is 100 or 250 on Huge. Otherwise your game will crash.

Here's a guide to using the EDU.

In the following line, change the value from 60 to 100, for example. You have to do this with every unit, unless you want to change each one to something specific.

The smallest possible is 4, while the largest is 60. In the Kingdoms expansion, however, unit sizes can be increased up to 100! Thanks for answer. But when playing vannila Kingdoms on Huge units settings, there are already some infantry units above 100 men.So 250 is max as you said ?

Beware of having too large units as Castle/Town battles will struggle due to increased number of men

To be precise, max unit sizes in Kingdoms is 253. 250 units (aka 100 in the EDU) + 3 officers. But yes, you can't go over that limit.

Next time, simple questions can be asked in the Q&A thread so there won't be a million smaller threads floating around >,>

Thanks a lot. May changing units number break gameplay ballance if I set EACH unit to 100 ? I will definately have to make some math when editing each unit separately is necessary

Yeah, it'd ruin balance. 100 milita would be useless, and 100 knights would dominate. That's just for infantry. A unit of 100 heavy cavalry would crush everything, since cavalry is massively OP in SS.

And 100 elephants...
