Max Unit Size on Mac

[Schmiddy]

I know how to increase the maximum unit size on most total war games on PC (run > %appdata% > etc) but i'm unsure on how to do this on the mac version of the game as the locations and such of the files is quite a bit different. Does anyone have some insight on this topic?

i've figured out how to do this, i've also uploaded a guide so go give it a rating.

1) open finder and navigate to your "Library" folder
2) go to your "Application Support" folder then the "Feral Interactive folder"
3) open "Napoleon Total War" then "AppData" and finally "Scripts"
4) open preferences.script.txt with TextEdit or any other text software
5) on the 10th line you should see "Campaign_Unit_Multiplier 1.00 (this number varies based on unit size setting in game)
6) 1.00 = largest standard unit size, 2.0 means 2x the normal size (so if there are normally 120 people in a unit, there will now be 240) so change this to the desirable amount. (you can use 1.5 or even 0.1 if you want, but be sure that there are 2 digits with a decimal inbetween or it may not work [ i haven't tested this very thoroughly yet ] )

careful! i have a 27" iMac and even i get lag at times with 2x (on max settings) use at your own risk! i am not responsible for your save file being unplayable if you abuse this! test this in custom battle first to see how your computer handles it!

I don't know about Macs system of doing this. But with a microsoft/windows version, when you change the multiplier you need to save the change before you exit the file, I normally "save as" and just so the game doesn't try changing things I change the first line to false (save changes at exit). And make sure you scroll further down to where it says gfx unit scale and have it set to 3 (the max). Also when you change things with the preference file, don't then go into the games graphic settings when you launch the game, it kind of counters anything you did in the preference file if you didn't do what I suggest on the first line. Hope that's of some help.

No video, just a steam guide somewhere. Make sure you're putting in "2.0" not "x2" and make sure you're saving the file.

Not sure if mac has an equivalent of this, but on PC there's a "read only" option you can enable on files to prevent programs from overwriting them.

I don't own a mac anymore but nothing should have changed, this game has the same structure.

Unfortunately, the new version is under Feral so the whole game changed.

All mac versions of TW games have always been converted by Feral. That's nothing new.
