Recommended Unit Size

[SlartyBartfast]

Does anyone know if there is a recommended unit size for this mod, ie what unit size was Stainless Steel balanced for?

If you're fighting siege battles then avoid larger unit sizes as some of the walls can't handle them.
If you're fighting with multiplayer then again smaller unit sizes may be less likely to crash than bigger unit sizes.
1 v 1 open field battles should be stable with larger unit sizes.
Campaign - I'd suggest medium unit size to cover most eventualities, but see what works best for you.

Okay, thanks. Good advice.

I prefer the Large scale, because I enjoy more men on screen. It also helps to finish off depleted units with archers, since there will be more arrows flying. (I always found their inaccuracy annoying on smaller scales, where they seem to always miss.) As mentioned, the Huge unit scale will cause a lot of issues in siege battles, since your ability to maneuver in a city is wonky to say the least.

Obviously, if your computer can't handle it, you can go with lower a scale, or try disabling shadows.

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it

I've found Large to be the best for all around performance while keeping up a good spectacle. Also very good if you like to be archer heavy.

I like to start an early campaign with "Small" or "Medium", then as my faction expands, switch it up to "Large".

How do you change unit size mid-campaign?

Change the unit size from "unit_size = huge" to "unit_size = normal" in the .cfg file.

Okay, makes sense.
