Changing unit size?

[CelticPagan]

Has anyone figured out as of yet, how to increase the size of units? They are way too small for my tatse, especially given Rome 1 allowed for 250 man units. None of the settings seem to allow for making units larger or smaller (though I am really only interested in larger). Thanks. Of course all this is predicated upon this patch actually fixing bugs :(

Graphics --> Advanced --> Unit Size

If you want more than Ultra, you'll have to wait for a modification.

I don't think anyone has a good enough CPU for anything above ultra.

I've found the option to increase unit size but the best I get is 160 a unit and the option is grayed out

C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\scripts find and change the number in gfx_unit_size 3 to a higher number

Yes I made a tutorial on how to increase unit sizes here:

IF IT FAILS TO OPEN JUST REFRESH

by the way to what i said changing it to a higher number does nothing but if you make the first number -1 it makes units around 2500

dinomight is that only for campaign? not custom matches?

You can mod your save game file, I changed mine so that the larger units like pike phalanx are 256 men each (changed the unit size modified to x1.4, it runs great 60 or above 60 fps maxed graphics as long as only 2 stacks are at battle at a time, more then that and it runs like poo

go to C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\scripts and in the preferences file there should be a line that says
gfx_unit_size 3; # gfx_unit_size <int>, Set unit size. 0 - small, 3 - ultra #

change it to -1 for units with 600(cavalry) and 2000+(infantry) men and -3 for 150(cavarly) to 600+(infantry) men. -2, -4,-5 dont really do anything

[General Rubenski]

I want to have 160 cav and 600 men, so what do i change to 1, the "Set unit size" or the "gfx_unit_size 3"

Hey how do i have historical legion size 1000 men for a legion.

[Eddard Stark]

Wait KoalaPear does it work for campaign or no?

[Eddard Stark]

And Kazansky how do you mod your savefile?

Historical unit size was -> Legio (Legion) - (10 Cohorts = 5,000 men)
