Unlimited Units in Army

**General George S. Patton** · September 04, 2013, 11:06 AM

Here is how to get as many units as you want in a single army or navy on the Rome 2 campaign map.

First, start a campaign, and save it.
Second, download the esf editor here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1.[*]Third, extract the esf editor.
Forth, open the esf editor, then open your save game, it will be found in C:\Users\*yourname*\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\save_games.
Fifth, expand Campaign_Save_Game, Compressed_data, Campaign_Env, then click on campaign_model.
Sixth, in the 9 and 10th rows from the top you will see to numbers, the first is the amount of units each army is allowed, the second is the amount each navy is allowed.
Seventh, change these numbers to whatever you want.

Done!

Note 1, The AI WILL recruit armies of this size
Note 2, Raising the amount of men in battle is VERY CPU INTENSIVE, so go easy on all but the highest clock speeds.Note 3, This will cause a CTD if you try it with the actual campaign esf.

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...l-Here-is-how!...I don't believe you can do unlimited amount of units either because of the UI and unit card stacking. I have been testing this in my initial thread on just how big it can go without causing CTDs and AI dysfunctions.

This looks very similar to a mod that was used for Napoleon and I think it also worked for Shogun 2. It was something I was hoping would work for Rome 2 and am looking forward to trying it, good work in doing it so quickly.

Have you experienced how the AI makes use of the extra troop numbers on the battlefield yet? What does the deployment zone look like? IIR in Napoleon all the units just got plonked on top of each other because the zones weren't big enough, but Shogun solved that by having much bigger deployment zones. Would love to see some in battle screenshots.

Umm..yes...you can...I play with 100 unit armies and 100 unit navies...makes the game more accurate from an historical sense...

Tutorial thread moved to mod workshop.

**General George S. Patton** · September 04, 2013, 02:07 PM

I was planning on adding files so people don't have to do it themselves, so wouldnt that be a mod?

It has been tested up to 80 in previous warscape games, however this would take a monster rig. The ui will be a bit messed up, but if you are good you can just turn the unit cards off and avoid it.

**Biggus Splenus** · September 05, 2013, 12:19 AM

maybe rename it to "Up to 80 Units in an Army" then?

And this would still be a tutorial I suppose. A mod wouldn't give you step-by-step instructions on doing it yourself.

I don't even see a point of having 40 unit armies anyway, can't even fit 20 units in the field while still allowing tactical flexibility. Need bigger maps if this will be any use.

I was under the impression that battle maps were huge? I haven't really had a decent battle yet.

**General George S. Patton** · September 07, 2013, 09:02 AM

I believe they are the biggest yet arn't they?

That's the rumour, so massive armies clashing and maneuvering- should be spectacular in theory. (If it weren't for capture points)

**caissus** · September 08, 2013, 04:00 AM

If only this game was optimized, I'd be able to have 40 unit armies on ultra comfortably like I could in Shogun 2. But it's already pretty sluggish in a 20 v 20 on Rome 2.
