I need help with unit size

I want to make the roman unit sizes more historic.The legionary first cohorts were 800 men and i want to change this how do i do it?

IIRC there is a hardcoded limit on the unit size. I don't think you could go higher than 200 men with any setting...

almost right
thats 240 men and 3 officers

well im still figuring stuff out and im also one of those people that want larger unit sizes beyond the max 60=240. which i did figure out that you can input any number less than 60 and the ratio multiplies by 4. for instance
40=160
42=168
55=221
60=240 plus officers for each of course

after reading other peoples frustration with this i came to realize that noone had asked (that i have seen) if you could up the number of units in an army beyond the 20 allowed. ive seen plenty of AI armies with the Greeks for instance, that can have 22 or 23. so to make armies larger can the max units in an army just be raised to like 30 or something? and where can that file be found in the game to change it?

They cant. This is a common misconception. If you look closely you will notice each line of these "22 stack armies" in reality only has 9 slots per line. Because normally they have 20, people see the extra two at the bottom and automatically think they are two "extra" slots (I know I did the first time I saw it)
