Editing unit graphics

[MattJek]

Ok, heres what I want to do...can anyone help me out? I want to edit the unit graphics so that the individual units are half their original size but have 2wice as many soldiers in the unit. ( ei 6 instead of 3) I dont like how the units look so big on the map. I think they'd look a lil more realistic if they were smaller.

Edit the "scale" number for the unit in CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml to change the size.

Edit the "groupsize" number in CIV4UnitInfos.xml. Also change the number of required meshes for the group to match.

Just a warning that this will probably increase the load on your graphics card quite a bit, and might cause the game to be somewhat laggy.

Hehe, look at my tiny warriors! Size they should have been if you ask me.

OH MAN!! I looked at the file, do I have to edit the scale of every individual unit seperately??

Welcome to more power over your modding. I'll take more power any day over a setup that constrains me.

what scale did you use for those warriors??

The warrior sizes are exacly 1/2 of the original number that was presented in the XML file. I the SS their is just two warriors for groupsizes, but I did try 6 in a group. The Great Apple is definitely right, it will bog down your graphics card something fierce (not that I didn't believe them of course ).
