How would I revert to vanilla unit sizes?

[imperator121]

Hello all, happy thanksgiving to anyone celebrating it. I have a problem with the mod, not that it doesn't work or anything like that. But my pc is pretty decent at best, runs most games on top settings, I can run rome 2 vanilla on pretty much everything ultra, except sky and water I put on low for increased frames. I love everything about this mod, what it changes to the campaign, how the units look and work now, ect ect. The only problem zzzzie is when I get a 40v40 battle, specifically against barbarians, there are just too many bodies on the map. On vanilla run with ultra unit sizes and never really have a problem, random drops in fps here and there, but run a constant 30+ which is acceptable for me. The only problem I have is when I have huge battles to drop to low settings just to fight at decent frames, which is not fun in my opinion. I wish I had the money for a better pc, but I do not, just recently got a ps4. MY question is are there any mods that already revert to original unit sizes? Or how would I do that on my own? thanks.

You can't revert them exactly, but you can change unit sizes in graphics options before you start a campaign.

Thanks Dresden, I know I can lower them in graphics, I am running it on large, and in full stack battles it runs fine. would there be any way I could just lower the barbarian factions individually say back to like 150?

I believe that this would mess with the entire balance. All +1500 units have been balanced according to their size so if you only decrease the size of the barbarians these will be underpowered. I would also say that considering you are playing with everything set to ultra you could perhaps gain a few FPS by lowering some of these without the big loss in the visuals

I am not playing with all ultra, not with this mod, only on vanilla. Maybe I'll lower unit size to normal but that just defeats the purpose of having large battles.

Also keep in mind that this mod has MUCH larger demand on PC, so not only amount of units is causing problems with FPS.

If you want smaller size units, you need to open main_units_tables and land_units_tables and then for example divide every amount of men per squad value per 2, then do the same for all mounts per squad (in land tables). This should make newly recruited units and units in custom battles to be half the size they are now (so max infantry units has 150 guys), but those units that armies start in campaign will still have old values until they die.
