unit size in multiplayer

Who determines the unit size in multiplayer, the host or the player with the lowest setting? thanks

player with lowest setting. It is default in my experience. Last time I used my rig the settings said large but it turned out very small because of my log in a 3v3

In organised multiplayer matches, it goes to the lowest setting among the players.

So say Tim, Alex, Jane and Maria are doing a 2v2 match - the girls have their games set to Large unit size, Alex has his cranked up to Ultra but poor Tim has had to turn his down to Low since he's having to use his backup gaming laptop after an unfortunate accident involving a large Coke from McDonalds and a surprise ambush from his pet cat. In this 2v2, the armies would all be on Low unit size because Tim has the lowest option in that setting of the four players - cue Tim blaming the damn cat.

Quick Battle, on the other hand, always defaults to Large unit size to ensure a level playing field (since Quick Battles are the ones the Leaderboards track).

I started off just using a generic "Bob and Alice" type example, like the sort you see on TV Tropes and in textbooks for school, and then the aspiring writer in me slapped me over the back of the head.
