Best unit size for DeI?

[busmumrik]

Hello!

What unit size is the mod meant to be played with?

Thanks in advance.

Whichever unit size you like, as long as your PC can handle it.

I enjoy medium or large, as huge units get quite unwieldy, and my computer struggles with too many armies on huge.

I currently play on large and it fits really good. Babarians are way bigger than romas for example.

Also unit size in Dei ist different than in vanilla, which means there could be trouble - which is the case if I recall correctly - with unit size ultra and transport ships.

I don't know if it is still the case but unit sizes above medium mess with naval battles but that's all

I dont think its about DeI at all, even though the mod has some small differences relative to unit size compared to vanilla. But the balance between units is preserved, so basically choose the unit size in relation to your computer mostly!

Personally, I'm very happy that my computed handle huge size, because it means that one unit is relatively important in size and makes them able to block chokepoints solo, + the overall size of whole armies is on a realistical level and can hold a large portion of the battle maps. As opposed to small or normal where you need to manage a lot of squads just to protect chokepoints, and even "large" battles (15-20 vs 15-20) can basically take place in a corner of a map or seem like a skirmish in the forest. I would prefer playing the game at 0 quality and have hugest unit size enabled because of that.

I haven't played DeI for some time but the last time I played (version 0.8 or 0.9) anything bigger than medium and all the battles that involved ships (especially when landing) were bugged because the unit size couldn't fit in the ships. Is this fixed in the recent version?

I changed it a bit, so there are not 240 strong units, only 200 strong, rest are 300 strong but not as many as before, so in general should be less bugs with landings (I think 200 or 238 is tha max for non bugged landing).

I used to play on Large, but my computer seemed to come up just short of handling the sizes with the quality of graphics. As someone who likes to get up close and watch battles, I changed it to normal (100 men in a Roman Hastati unit) and haven't looked back. I've noticed I have a much easier time maneuvering units, and now I rarely get stuttering!

General + 40 units in army. Base unit size 60-80.

I tryed something some time ago: instead of ultra unit sizes, I played with medium unit size and a mod for armies with 41 units. It helps with lag issues and make you fell that you have all you need at the same stack, but you still have the 40 vs 40 limit on the field, so not much difference regarding epic battles.
