Adding Mini-Stacks (Stack of Doom, Happy Meal Size)

[rocklikeafool]

I know the devs of Civ are really against the "stack of doom" concept, but I want to add in partially. I would like to make it so that one can have 3 units on a tile. With a great commander on the tile, that number would increase to 4-5. So, there wouldn't be stacks of doom (with 20+ units), but there would be stacks.

Does anyone know if this is even possible? Or is CivV hard-coded to prevent this?

changing the limit is a one line mod (was one of day 1 mod, still on the hub I believe, look for legion)

making it variable can't be done I think.

Do you happen to know what file it's in?

Though one of that mod's flaws is that the UI doesn't support stacks; you're going to need a bit of work there if you want something more than making movement a bit easier.
