Hardcoded Limits - M2TW
From TWC Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Creative Assembly have built in some limits to the games, meaning that modders can not have more than x amount of factions or y amount of units. Limits for Medieval II: Total War appear to be similar to Rome: Total War though some are slightly raised. See also Hardcoded Limits in RTW which may also apply unless a higher value is mentioned here.
